there is concern in Kyiv that Ukraine has become a tool of US domestic politics
Sen. Lindsey Graham:
People ask me, “Is it worth it?” Here’s what we’ve gotten for our investment. We haven’t lost one soldier. We reduced the combat power of the Russian army by 50%, and not one of us has died in that endeavor. This is a great deal for America.
Dang it Lindsey! You’re not supposed to say that in earshot of the cannon fodder!
What exactly is his concept of “combat power”? It can’t be manpower or the weapons, vehicles, and ammunition, because Russia certainly hasn’t used up half of that. Just… what metric, what mental gymnastic, do you have to perform to even arrive at the idea Russian combat power has been reduced by 50%???

Well, as a Burger, I can assure them there’s nothing to worry about. America hasn’t failed to support the military industrial complex so far and I don’t think they’ll start now. They can easily force through a bipartisan bill with 80-90% approval and of course the senate will vote for any bill it sees as well.
“The spice must flow.” And in America the spice is oil and infinite cash for arms companies.
If for some reason it did get held up or not happen at all, that would be crazy to me. Also probably a signal that things are accelerating towards… whatever is slowly bouldering towards the US/world. I doubt much happens for now though. The establishment neolibs, the core of both parties, have seemingly already united behind “this was the actions of a rogue group who have to be ousted not appeased.” It’s made easy by the fact that Gaetz has a mountain of evidence already against him that he’s a fucking pedo. Couldn’t happen to a bigger piece of shit… hate to see it, or love to see it? Hmm.
But whatever happens to that ugly dumbass, it doesn’t matter, I can’t see money for war ever being held up.
