The U.S. is also looking at options for a possible evacuation of Americans from Israel. Nothing has been decided, but one option involves putting some Americans on Navy ships.
To think republicans pretend like aiding Ukraine is the real problem… yet They'll blow Netanyoohoo any time he wants. If anyone in Washington had a damn lick of sense they'd cut Israel off entirely.
While I agree that we very much need to take care of domestic issues, it's more complicated than that. It's in the global best interest for us to help Ukraine steamroll Russia. We're getting a bargain that way, rather than becoming directly involved in a conflict.
The US supporting a country fighting a defensive war against an aggressive invader isn't equivalent to it invading another country and attempting regime change.
You're right. It's more like 1983, when we poured money out for Saddam Hussein because his guys were going to fight Iraq for us.
That worked out well.
But, in the end, it doesn't matter. There's a blank check for war and I'd just love it if people cared about the extent to which we neglect our own people in service of it.

If anyone in Washington cared we wouldn't spend a dollar on foreign war (as opposed to domestic defense) until domestic needs are 100% taken care of.

Yeah, that's the same thing people say every time a war pops up. It was also the justification for the trillions we wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq.
