The US isn't even helping US farmers as much as they are helping Ukrainian farmers.

Then Zelenskyy has the brass balls to demand billions of dollars to fund their election, otherwise they just won't hold elections.

When did Ukraine become the 51st state of the US?
I was for it at the beginning when the invasion first happened.. but it's now nothing more than a slush pot for politicians to get more donations from the US war machine. It's gone on entirely too long because of our limp wristed policy and our inability to act quickly and decisively at the beginning. Zelensky going to each country to panhandle and somehow make this our problem is irritating and the American people have zero responsibility to keep throwing their money away so politicians and the US arms manufacturing CEOs can get their pockets lined by the blood of Ukrainian and Russian solders.

The US taxpayers needs to take a good hard look at how our government spends our money.
