Well, Trump is all about taking away government funding (even when voted by congress) and forcing people to "kiss the ring", so to speak. Ukraine is a proxy war, and a potential domino in the european theater. If we don't want Poland and the Balkan states to fall to Russia, and eventually a re-built warsaw pact, Ukraine is where to stop it. We fought that war once. Best not to fight it again. cl> I'm not against helping them but at the same time there needs to be cl> limits and expectations set. You don't come to us hat in hand and make cl> demands. I'm sure that works with presidents that do not care about my cl> checkbook. There's a supercut of 92 times that Zelenskyy publicly thanked the administration and the US people for the assistance in fighting this war. Trump, Vance, Rubio and the cabinet ambushed Zelenskyy on camera, that wasn't the time or the place. Zelenskyy was gracious afterwards. cl> I'm sorry but the free money from American needs to stop at least for a cl> bit while our own suffering gets under control.
