Not good. It is called buying debt, and the payers are the consumers,(citizens or not), who will bear the brunt of it through inflation. And for that matters, increased taxation, on personal income and increases in consumption taxes, etc.

A good move. Ukraine will rebound as soon as the savages are thrown back.

Good news. The world must give Ukraine whatever help it needs to defeat Putin's invading hordes of murderers, thieves, rapists, and child abductors.

The two are not linked.

And for that matters, increased taxation

Maybe, maybe not. But as a taxpayer here I certainly do not mind my money being used to help Ukraine defeat Putin's hordes.

Yes, money paid by the US is not going into China projects. This is not much of a secret.

Another 50 billion down the drain, but who is even counting by now.

its almost like there is a never ending supply of money for some things yet no money at all for the people.

The only objection to the vote came from Russia,

Hardly surprising.

Great news for Ukraine, this fund for non military use will help buy medical supplies, food, shelter and some reconstruction in Ukraine. It wont help defeat Russia but will aid the survival of Ukraine and its people.

I'm not usually into using internet clichés, but cope and seethe.

Speaker Neuman can appropriate things at any time.

at what donation level do non Ukrainian citizens get to question their governments/“the world” why there is no money for their own needs?

People without a shred of patriotism or foresight get to question nothing.

You’ve been doing that for years. Yet your tax money still is going to help Ukraine.

Thank you for your continued donation.

Are you under the impression that that will be enough to buy a patriot interceptor for every person?

Each pre-war Ukrainian is entitled to their own fully funded by the world, personal patriot interceptor?

does Zelensky at least get 2?

he’s on world tour half the year or more as it is.

It's $3000 per person. Are you under the impression that that will be enough to buy a patriot interceptor for every person?

No, but that's a lot of Trump bibles, if they're running out of toilet paper.

Coping and seething intensifies

Lame repetitive reply guy with nothing to add to the conversation reappears.

i have no shred of patriotism for Ukraine, as it’s not my country. Why do you?

And I do have foresight. I can see the dire consequences for countries of the world purposely ignoring the financial needs of their own taxpaying citizens in favor of others.

so unless you two can point me to a money tree that produces endless money….?

My money was that F-16 they whined about for 3 years and then let get blown up on the ground, unused.

didn’t your country send your tax money too? Probably you paid 1/10.000th of one of those useless tanks.

at least I contributed an entire airplane.
