AS to Billions in Ukraine. For twenty years we just fought a war with people who hated us and did not want us there. Now without the loss of American troops, we are on the verge of pulling Russia's teeth, stabilizing Europe, and fighting for a change for people who appreciate our help. I am over 80 and for my entire life I have lived under the threat of the Russian Bear, if you are old enough remember the "Duck and Dive" drills under our school desks in case of a Russian attack

Next, just recently I attended a speech by a general from CENCOM and he explained that the materials being used over there were from our inventory and much of it was dated, especially the munitions and some ever slated for destruction. He pointed out that they are coming out ahead with new versions of the weapons..

How we can sit and do nothing when there are numerous verified instances of Ukrainian mothers being r***d and their children kidnapped to Russia I don't know. As of now, over 1/2 million children have been kidnapped. What if one of those were yours or the r***d mother was related to you.
