    the specific political mechanism in question only relates to sales of arms, not donations.

    This is not a comment on whether that’s good or not, simply that they are different political processes.

      If they actually wanted to keep dumping resources into Ukraine they’d find a political mechanism that would let them do that too.

          Yeah the process of Ukraine collapsing and US moving on to a new war without skipping a beat. Absolutely amazing how US keeps doing this, and there are still people out there who can’t see the pattern.

            again, it’s not a comment on whether it’s good or bad, but objectively there is a mechanism for sending aid to Ukraine.

            I personally think we could invest factors more money and eqpt to them, but I also recognize even though I think we should do something, the reality is it has to go through the political machine.

              There is also a standard mechanism for sending arms to Israel that’s being bypassed. What Biden is doing is using a loophole so he can keep the genocide going. That’s what’s happening. I guess Joe must get off on seeing kids blown up, and he just wasn’t getting that in Ukraine.
