I have yet to hear that the vice-president has lately cast a vote to break a tie in the U.S. Senate. This can only mean that Republican senators are voting in lockstep with Democrats, to do the bidding of Raytheon, et al. The gutless cowards in Washington are more eager to get money from the bomb makers than anything else in the world.
It’s not that I dislike politicians. In fact, I derive great pleasure from them, at every funeral parlor viewing.

Don’t think so?
To a casual observer like myself, America's only interest in Ukraine is to protect our biological warfare labs. Unless Vladimir Putin has joined #FJB in the ranks of the totally insane, he would never (despite both Republican and Democratic politicians claims to the contrary) attack Poland or any other NATO nation. It is unfortunate that NATO nations have joined the war (specifically, the Canadian general captured by Russia at an Odessa bio-lab) and there can be no doubt that American Special Forces have already been involved in the fighting.
For once, it appears that Biden was not talking out of his ass when he said our goal is to weaken Russia (and to ultimately bring about regime change in Moscow).
But one has to wonder whether it is prudent to borrow another 40 BILLION DOLLARS from China at a time when Americans are struggling to provide food for their families.
To consider another angle or two: America's national debt now exceeds 30 TRILLION DOLLARS and the cost of the Manhattan Project was 2 BILLION DOLLARS. It cost 3 BILLION DOLLARS for the USA to develop the largest airplane ever made (at the time): the B-29 Superfortress.
Can anyone outside of Washington, DC believe that we want to risk a nuclear war with Russia and certain financial collapse by throwing 40 BILLION dollars into the pockets of Ukraine's fascist oligarchs?
