Fund my freedom by paying my bills.
The world can't handle 45 million Ukrainian refugees flooding the globe. Hardly any Ukrainians now live in Russian held territory. Meaning if Putin takes Ukraine we will see the biggest refugee crisis since WW2. The few US folks who are anti Ukraine forget about that aspect of this war, and is one of several serious reasons we all need to stop Putin now
🙏 Wars 🙏 should 🙏 be 🙏 forbidden 🙏 !!!!
that is a message for Putin not Zelenskyy. I am a pacifist but I believe in supporting our allies. In the event the US doesn’t support Ukraine, do you really think Putin intends to stop there? I sure don’t and as soon as Putin troops step foot into a NATO country (ie Poland) we are not just sending munitions and artillery etc to Ukraine, we are sending our troops. The US is not sending Ukraine cash, we are sending them our outdated equipment and in the process, creating American jobs in the process to replenish stockpiles with modern technology and equipment.

The media is not really helping the situation
The media is owned by globalists who are trying to enslave the American taxpayer. Wait, they already have.
"The media" -- is not a monolith. There are many sources, including Russian agents.
the media doesn't help anyone except in the area of "awareness" of situations...unless they get paid off

And closed the churches
And who are you, Ivan? Putin is now in his fifth term. Putin changed the Russian Constitution 3 times.
@@thinkerly1
They held a national vote and 78% of Russian citizens approved of the amendments. Which is more than the Ukrainazi dictator Zelenskyy permits in his "democracy".
Incidentally.... do you know what amendments were made to the Russian Constitution?
The permitted term of Zelensky's rule by the constitution has ended. There is no legitimate president in Ukraine. However, there was no such legitimate president before that.
Globalists have made Ukraine a prison country. But according to the new law on mobilization, even prisoners in prisons in Ukraine soon will be obliged to fight. The average life expectancy of a Ukrainian soldier is 40 days - I follow the obituaries, which tell when a person was mobilized (99% forcibly). They are buried on average 40 days after mobilization.
He just wants to say "bring more money to me US taxpayers!".
The money stays in the US paying workers in military factories, and surrounding businesses The world can't handle 45 million Ukrainian refugees flooding the globe. Because if Putin takes Ukraine we will see the biggest refugee crisis since WW2 caused by another crazy dictator.
The few US folks who are anti Ukraine forget about that aspect of this war, Do you want millions of Ukrainian refugees? and is one of several serious reasons we need to stop Putin now
:) asian person ❤ ^^
And we'll give it. To protect democracy in the slavic states. We won't be bullied by Russia.
Yes we are funding it,, and we're tired of that bs 😒
No. Russian trolls are tired of that.
Why? The reason why we are protecting them is to honor our agreement that they surrender their nuclear weapons. If the US is unable to back their protection agreement we will see nations everywhere taking up nuclear arms and refusing to trust the strength of the US military. Is that good for the country? Why should we be concerned about what Vladimir Putin wants? Why should we sacrifice the people of Ukraine?

It is a a RUSSIAN Orthodox Catholic Church in "Ukraine"..who have ties to Moscow, Russia that has been "banned" has to do more with the political stance of Russia. ! In 2018 the Ukraine Orthodox Catholic Church officially split with the Russian Orthodoxy after 300 yrs. The decision, which was approved by the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople of the Orthodox Catholic Church. first serious split in over 1000yrs in Orthodox churches. Read up on the history of starting in Greece around 110 AD....beginnings of formalized christianity......big difference between Roman Catholics and Orthodox Catholics. You can see the division split of empires in World History from East & West...........don't get me started on "Israel" either ...HUGE different between the Zionists who were thrown out of Russia & the rest of the Jewish sects.

yeah chamberlin thought the same way
These are Russian talking points that Professor Tim Snyder warned us about.
Democrats want to do all that. It's republican blocking funding. Has nothing to do with aid package. If you didn't have the aid package, Republicans would still block everything you want to do.
Calm down my uncle all that you are saying here reality in our African proverbs we call this monkey work baboon eat for free American tax payers monies going in vain because Russia will destroy all of the weapons send to Ukraine

Putin is now a pariah. Most people will overlook snide remarks and comments in bad taste. When you name yourself after the enemy of the free world, you see what happens. Nobody will stand up for you, nobody will help you. I would recommend not commenting on western platforms with a name like that. People despise those who outright murder thousands of innocents. Don't go with hitler either, judging from your current handle, it seems like the next choice. Maybe do a twist, and go with Putin Scat, change your pic to a pile of poo with putins face? I am just being honest. If TH-cam existed in the 40's and you named yourself HitlersCat, do you think people might get a little murdery in your direction? Common sense my friend. Put on a devil suit and people will treat you like the devil.

2:35 Listen to his answer on whether the aid will allow Ukraine to win the war or will only prolong it. Ukraine has a chance now. REALLY? Also, he knows better than anyone else that the Russians will not go to war with Europe (NATO countries), yet, in order to continue receiving American aid, he keeps saying that he is protecting Europe. Lying is what he does best.
He's literally a professional actor.
They'll be more likely to risk war with Europe if America proves to be too weak to even send weapons to defend an extremely important ally and strategic location like Ukraine. He is protecting Europe, and what's more is Americas international reputation is on the line. You and the others are a disgrace to our country.

That equates to $15,098 collected per person, up 14% from 2021. Most revenues came from individual income tax, at $7,898 per person on average, and payroll taxes, at $4,510 per person on average."
Now let's divide $61 billion by 167 million. That's $365 or a dollar a day. Or 2% of the $15,098 from each taxpayer. Of course, some pay more, some less.

I WANT THE MONEY FOR THE TEACHERS IN USA. OR TO ALL THE ELDERLY THAT NEEDS HELP !!! STOP SENDING MONEY TO ISRAEL AND UKRAINE !
NO MORE MONEY! He should have taken the peace deal
Your concept of a wonderful peace deal is one that allows you to enjoy your happy meals in America in peace.
Obviously, Russia is not your neighbour.
in other words, to surrender?? hhh if they surrender, its the end of Ukraine.
@@16252 you would rather more bloodshed? I get it you are insane!
Very big thank you because you are smart person.
Now about true - poor men are forcibly sent to war against their will, there were cases that they even cut off their own hands so as not to go to war. The borders have been closed for more than 2 years, those who do not want to fight are deprived of all rights and sent to prison. this is called the strongest dictatorship that can be. but in the media it’s called democracy and freedom, I’m already sick of the lies.
Thank you bro for being smart and not being so stupid zombie same as many others

I don’t buy it, this man was fumbling his words like crazy.. my opinion, this money is being funneled into his pockets as well as other administrators over there. yes it may go towards some of what they need for war but in the end when is all the spending gonna stop?
When the war is over.
Said you the well known Russian Troll
It seemed to be that the audio translator was not identical to TH-cam translator so somebody did not know Ukrainian. That is where the fumbling was happening, also news media talk in circles asking asinine questions like "will Ukraine win?" It depends on how good are the artillery you are sending and is it LONG RANGE.? Fighting with one hand tied behind your back is the pits.

Not happy, me and my husbands tax dollars are going to other countrys regularly when so many homeless in my city alone .
Unfortunately, homeless has been a problem for a long time. Mental health, drug use and low incomes come in to play.
Your city is Moscow,, right?
Ivan, study Ingrish
let them live at your house ..help out your fellow americans
Прости, Иван.
Никакой тебе сегодня картошки.
The house wouldn't approve 61 billion dollars if it were coming out of their pockets. This is lame. Zelensky is probably in a hotel room in Monte Carlo.
*Russian troll talking point*
Did it occur to you that maybe the House is listening to their constituents who are actually funding this losing war?
and it's probably a Trump Hotel

How you protect the freedom by cancelling all opposition media? Even banishing Russian language and Russian churches. Those are basic human rights of minority people.

I agree! She's not good!
Idiotic questions!
I'd just love to see her interrogate Putin this way.
She’s one of the top journalists in our country, and does a better job than you would.
They are throwing 90 billion dollars like nothing, meanwhile if we ask for aid. They would just say that there's no money left.
Yes thats what America stands for FREEDOM. Maybe some of you people should study our history and figure it out.
Everybody talks when u bout to get money 💰 what about the American people tho hommie
I'm old and you young need to quit complaining and get a job!! Kick the rich out who raise our housing prices that have made homelessness. I bet 90 percent of them are Republicans.
Sure, Ivan
Yes ivan putler😂
They don’t actually get the money, there giving weapons that amount to the price
Russian bots coping hard in the comments😂
Approximately 90% of the $61 billion aid allocated to Ukraine will remain within the US, primarily designated for the replacement of weaponry and bolstering job opportunities within American military factories.

NOT TRUE! It is time for truth! NOT truth social! STOP the MAGA/RUSSIA propaganda!
The Russians sent missiles and drones into Poland and Romania.
Mao Zedong's decision caused millions of Chinese deaths. The Soviet Union under Stalin starved Ukrainians much the same way Mao did his own people. What did they have in common? Communism. Nobody stops you from planting your own garden in the USA!
@@16252
And yet polish authorities blamed Ukraine, their ally, funny that.
Nordstream Pipelines were severed by a Chinese ship anchor that was dragging along the bottom and hooked onto the pipeline and broke it. That was the latest guess & makes the most sense. A couple of tons on top of a concrete coated metal pipe and it crunches closed or breaks.
We need to pray for the US
Go ahead.See how prayers r answered now days.🎉

Forza Rusia 💪🏻 🇷🇺 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺.
What differences are there if the governing body was Russian, or Ukrainian? The People wouldn't be kicked off their land like the Israeli's did in 1948'. Either government would want the land occupied and developed.
Russia speaks Russian and have no history. Ukraine speak Ukrainian & Russian & English. If Russia wins this war they will Russofy the Ukrainians and eliminate their language and culture and heritage (((kind of like what the white man did to the Aboriginal North Americans who were here first....& then with those Russofied Ukrainians attack other countries to make them Russian.

This guy makes me sick. Demanding that Americans give him money and demanding that Americans fight his war for him. It’s completely pathetic. It would be like some guy that lives in another neighborhood is getting picked on and bullied by his neighbors and him demand I hire him private security to protect him from his next door neighbors . Use your own money to hire security. I’m so sick and tired of us finding this war for Ukraine . We got homeless starving folks in the streets and we’re funding a war for Ukraine. It makes me sick. I wish Putin would just end it already. Either take whatever land you want or give up. We’re just becoming more and more broke in America.
Well that's a terrible way of saying thank you. Our government is handing them billions of dollars, and all they have to say is, your money is wasted here.
Well Kristen wasn't going to quit until she got some soundbite that made him sound ungrateful...that became obvious.

80% of the aid is actually going to US manufacturers to replenish stocks. Hence, it is actually funding the US defence and national security.

Thank you!!! I couldn't think of the words.
No they don't. The strategy is to keep crying to the spineless Western countries and we'll keep giving them huge aid packages.
@@aprilyoungblood7326 What kind of strategy do you propose, knowing the enemies focus is to wipe you out completely as they do not follow the "rules of engagement"? They shoot at hospitals, schools, dams, nuclear reactors, apartment buildings, shopping malls, churches instead of at the military?
Now that we have proved funding for that now can we approve the bill for the border and help homeless people too instead of waiting against that too because like you can do more than one thing
