Hey Fiz,
Remember what I once typed about 'leading off with a lie' and losing the rest of the argument?
>>>
Fiz > (1) Ukraine is probably the most corrupt country in the world outside of, arguably, Nigeria. A major percent of everything "donated" is slipping into pockets faster than it even did in Afghanistan.

The Top 11 Most Corrupt Countries in the World (2020 Corruption Perceptions Index):

Ukraine 116 33 36,744,634
Denmark 1 90 5,910,913

I'm not saying that Ukraine is not corrupt . . .
But it is a long ways from being the 'MOST corrupt'.
Numbers two through seven I find myself in agreement with.
These United States can afford a 'world class military' for a small percentage of GDP. A military powerful enough that a true leader could then look crossly at the likes of Russia and China and coerce them into not doing something stupid. Making the world a safer place in the process.
The military and 'helping' Ukraine is NOT what is bankrupting U.S.
The burgeoning welfare state and out of control spending by congress are the two biggest budgetary problems 'We' face. Illegal drugs and illegal aliens flooding across our southern border are two more BIG problems. Black racism in America is yet another problem - not as expensive as the others, but if 'reparations for slavery' ever become true it will be.
Fiz says: Everyone who is not WOKE recognizes
(1) Ukraine is probably the most corrupt country in the world outside of, arguably, Nigeria. A major percent of everything "donated" is slipping into pockets faster than it even did in Afghanistan.
(2) US leadership from the "Criminal in Chief" on down to Four Star General leadership is grossly incompetent, at best!
(3) The US is a million miles beyond bankrupt financially, and in even worse shape in terms of national cohesion and mental fitness to fight more wars.
(4) China IS wagging us like a dog.
(5) Forcing Russia and China into China's arms, WAS (already done) about as functionally idiot a move geopolitically as anyone can or could conceive. But we did it!!!!
(6) Exporting all our manufacturing to China was even stupider. But we did it!!!!
(7) 80% of younger Americans are, for one reason or another, not fit enough to become soliders.
If you haven't figured out, yet, that the sooner the US gets of out of its policeman of the world self-appointed role, the sooner it might get into hard drug recovery and necessary heart-and-lung transplant surgery, well ... let's just leave it at that. If you haven't figured it out, you must be stoned on something.
This is so exciting to see the creshendo of an empire going into complete collapse...hopefully to rise again as a limited Republic and beacon of freedom from all things Socialist and Woke!
