Why The U.S. Is Giving Millions To Ukraine | NBC News Now
This video aged well like a fine wine.
I came here to say this lol
It just got sweeter
There giving another country help when we can’t help our own. It’s crazy how our government can pass these bills & hurt the Americans that need it most
They're*
Thanks mr. Bo Vance
I still don’t understand what we gain for helping Ukraine. Why are we even doing this? For morals?
Back when covid first started. People that lost there jobs were making 2 to 3 times more money than in there regular jobs. For longer than a year. Alot of people that didn't take advantage of that big opportunity and still in the same spot don't wanna move up or work hard. Only person to blame is themselves. This sounds harsh. But the united states is the land of opportunity not the land of charity. If you work hard and smart and dedicate yourself to something. You will have the opportunity to move up in life. Not without sacrifice and hard work thou.
@@derrickknight2766 you know why you live better than other nations or countries?, it's because USA are strong country, you know what will happen if Ukraine loses now ?, i will tell you what will happen Putin will create Soviet union, and then you and American people will give ten no 100 more than now to stop Putin and China, if USA doesn't defend their interests then they will lose their power they lose power USA citizens lose money and everything, it's are your choice to stop Putin now or when he comes to USA borders,
So we been supplying this whole war and giving them money since 2014 . I think they should have a vote to see if the people wants to help before the government just hands out billions of the peoples money.
We have been giving them money ever since they realized there’s oil in Ukraine. A lot of it.
@@santaclause3487 funny how none of it makes it to the USA
We have over 50 bio labs in Ukraine which they started building in 2014
What’s up with all this foreign aid while US citizens are struggling? This is utter stupidity.
amen. money laundering for american politicians and tech companies? surveillance economy? hunter biden can get money from a company but did the company get money from taxpayers? the united states never understands that you can't buy friends. and, what do we have to show for our investment? and if you can milk getting other countries to pay your budget, why would you want to be independent and strong. it would be advantageous to milk it for what it is worth. so, they will always be paupers asking for money if a country will just print money to give it away to you.
Because were being led by morons that are destroying this country
swear
Exactly when orange head was right and as much as I hate dude voice he was right
Haiti not getting that treatment
America needs to take care of its own first
Build the wall.
I agree
Words of wisdom.
Thank you! We are buckling under the weight of inflation and ol joe just approved an additional $400M in aid to Ukraine!!!
@@simpleton2090 ikr and we've got Americans homeless because of our government
He called it. If the orange man runs again I’m definitely gonna vote for him.
I'd totally vote for him
Hes would be too old
Yep.he is our best chance to get this country back on track
Why you didn’t at first?
@@dookie7299 too old? Have you seen biden?
Why is America still giving Ukraine aid... Been going on for many years now... Is America going to be paid back ? Or is this a Free Donation ?
this not aid. this named aid. so tax payer won.t question much. actually this so called aid is the one used to sharpened ukraine horn n make ukraine oppose russia.
It's a free donation.
Just like Israel. You'll never get the money back. It just flows out while US citizens move into cardboard boxes look
2 years later update.
We ain't getting paid back.
Free donation.
Looks like a donation
We are trying to give them $40 billion dollars right now. Which will make it almost 60 billion dollars in 2 months. For what?
Oh u know why
It’s not actually going to the Ukrainian ppl. We’re paying groups like isis and Al queda to help fight Russia.
Trump is right on asking why giving taxpayers money to Ukraine when Americans are suffering the high prices of gas, food, everything in general. Biden is doing nothing to alleviate inflation. It is about time for us all Democrats to start voting Republican. Too bad if help comes late we will be encouraging voters to vote Republican. Trump is right about saying about corruption didn't money that was sent to Ukraine before they could not account for it?
Republicans like McCain and Graham got us into this mess.
I’ll vote Republican but never for Trump. Desantis needs to run.
@@Charlydx21 DeSantis the torturer of Cuba.
TRUMP I DIDN'T LIKE YOU BUT SEEING THE BILLIONS WERE NOW GIVING UKRAINE I NOW LOVE U PLEASE VOTE FOR TRUMP SO HE WILL GIVE US MORE STIMULUS MONEY AT LEAST TRUMP LOOKS OUT FOR HIS PEOPLE. ..
I'm tried of American's paying for Ukraine 🇺🇦 war when is the US government going to worry about the American citizens stop spending money recklessly put America first !
why are we getting involved with other counties problems food is expensive, rents are too high, no jobs, covid, poor life we need to take care of our own
Look at the big picture.
We need other countries resource to survive too.
@@lawrencegeorge1201 exactly that's why I said look at the big picture. Example Taiwan is a big semiconductor place. Look at the impact... can't find a PS5 heck used cars are more expensive than new cars .
@@lawrencegeorge1201 That has 0 to do with handing out foreign aid
@@watsonanthony8438 The US should make its own
40 Billion here 20 Billion there. How about here in the U.S. for our Aid? Veterans Homeless Teachers schools the Hungry? Our Government is a joke
Kids don’t have lunch at school
So what happens if Texas breaks away to become an independent nation and Russia sends aid to them.
Texas stays independence lol Mexico and Russia will support them
Deeply Liberal but Trump was right here this is insane.
He's right most of the time
@@eze8024 I don’t know about all that. Not of these politicians are always right. Honestly what we need is to come together and figure things out as a country instead of fighting all the time.
@@malikking8243 oh yeah def not always right. I used to not like the guy either
Ask Trump why do we give billions to Israel, when Israel is a nuke power ???
Wrong headline, it's billions not millions
What happened to America first?, looks like other countries get our billions........
I guess that also included the biolabs that were found in Ukraine
Did Ukraine help the US during 9/11 and Iraq War???
It’s all about a Russian phobia in the beltway.
The corollary would be Russia giving millions of dollars in aid to Sinaloa Mexico right south of the Arizona border.
The United States is not the peacemaker here it’s the troublemaker
when were we peacemakers?????? WWII?
What, did you miss English at school?
This comment...is so relevant as we speak.
This is bull....I am all for helping people but the U.S has put its own citizens at risk for famine. We have starving/homeless people right here in our country but yet we are sending valuable resources to another country?? The people of the United States are not gonna stand for this and there will be an uprising when families can longer put food on the table for their own children because we are living in a country that has always done more for other countries than it has its own. smh.
Stop giving billions of our money to them its crazy help our borders first
I am a liberal and this is the only time I agree with Trump.
sorry to late stay on that side we dont want you
Agree after it happen that's interesting
I guarantee there are other things you unknowingly agree with too
I would agree with Trump, if he was curious about money going to Israel too ?
@@williamdukeofnormandy1403 USA has a responsibility to Israel, like it or not, that is the law , both God's and man
Too bad he's not in office now.
I miss trump.. will never vote for Biden again.. take care of home first
I miss the dislike bar
its not normal, all the american money are going on ukraine
90 fukin billion
And how many trillion was required to fund Build Back Better? Where the heck is this money coming from?
From your taxes
@@closeourborders2470 ...and yet we're still in debt. 30 trillion.
This is so relevant now, NBC Please do a follow up about the new 40 Billion granted to Ukraine by a partisan vote!
Another billion today
55 billion I think I heard
Laundering money. I’m sure Biden and whole democrats get under the table money
@@michaelcapodanno5108 another 2.4 billion today
@@Giopowered smh
But millions Americans won't get SS & SSDI? WAR vs. American tax payers food, health, debt welfare etc? Where is the aid for Americans?
The Donetsk and Luhansk regions...they exist, not according to NBC and liberals wanting you to think Ukraine is a united victim of Russia.
I thought the US was in debt up to it's eyeballs....... Where is the 400 mil coming from ??
DEEP state pockets, bum checks, fiat money, plus my .3%.
Yes we are: However Trump has had to borrow a Trillion Dollars a year to pay his phoney tax cuts that went to the rich and make the economy look good, though that is mostly smoke and mirrors. The Trade Deficit sits at $1,000,000,000,000 and will most likely get worse if Trump remains in office. The true unemployment/underemployment figure is running at about 16%. At least 25% of Americans do not have a fixed hour contract as under Trump Zero Hour contracts are moving towards 30% right now. Deportations under Trump are the lowest since GWB. Obama deported over three million failed asylum seekers.
That $400,000,000 should be coming from the richest people and corporations who pay little or no tax. A middle class worker today pays a higher percentage of their income in taxes compared to the billionaires for the first time in history.
China.
Our kids future
@@judywaits4u still feel the same way?
oh usa usa usa. they saved the world? or made it worse?
One example why we 30 trillion in debt today
Us govenment doesnt ask us where our tax money needs to go
Cuz you lost every war
@@ttv_grylato cause bit problamatic places their enter n totally ruined it. like afghanistan today. next target ukraine.
@@ttv_grylato correction.
The US citizens and army lost every war.
But the industrial complex is making $$$$
So now we can't pay our bills. We basically two countries now. What do we get back . Nothing .
Shouldn't be giving Ukraine any money we need to worry about our own country first
This is so corrupt.
America's favorite nationalist needs to be back in the White House, mean tweets and all.
McCain was fully compromised.
Aid to Ukraine:
The USA: $2,500,000,000.
The EU: $15,000,000,000.
Individual European Countries and Independant Bodies: Approxiamately $32,000,000,000.
Total Aid: $50,000,000,000.
This total covers a ten year timespan.
aid ? many of it to collapse the soviet oriented leader n bring usa support. fooling the world wit control of their doll leaders n media.
Are any of these people really starving like the world refugees are.?
@@worldview730 right. All the aide is weapons right? It’s all about helping Ukraine hold on so people in the US can get rich from mining all their new found oil and gas it sounds like. Like Biden’s will get filthy rich if they can set up drills there.
This aged not so well.
All wasted.
Report accurately why did russia invade ukraine in first place
So where are the checks receipts and balances this stinks of corruption
Hahaha we sent a lot more to Ukraine now
I miss u trump
###majority of Ukranians are living VERY WELL!!!!!! AMERICA needs to worry about HER family
Why is America sending billons to the royal family each year if they can have head line entertainment and all the glamorous stuff ...why do Americans pay this ...it sickening that they need our money and cant figure how to not need it ?
Take away all the big partys and they may have 11 billon and have harry tell America the 1st amendment is bonkers....give them nothing and use it for Americans
Wtf are these people talking about xD there was no russian soldier pre 24th of February,
Ukrain people fight against ukrain military
Is any other country giving money besides the USA. ?? IJS. 👀
Gringos being gringos, financing wars, setting chaos wherever they can
All of those old people in Congress I think they're too old and they should put new people there cause Cause they have the control of the money and overhear us in United States we're paying the price
Now it’s in the billions. Horray. 😒
What is Ukraine doing for the US. ?
Facilitating money laundering like they do for all the countries jumping up to "defend" their authoritarian regime. Providing a safe haven for WHO to work on bio engineering like inventing covid, and the us to develop bio weapons. You should auto matically be suspicious of a place where romney, pelosi, Biden , kerry all have children with '"businesses", backed by the obamas, Clinton, Trudeau, boris and Western media outlets.
What is Israel doing for the U.S. ??
And people say Trump is a Russian puppet😫😫😫
This was a better policy.
Well look two years later from this upload. And lord bless we are paying dearly 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I never agreed I wanted Trump back in the office so bad but now I really do I really want Republicans back in the office so bad come on Republicans win this again
Wars and Bio labs

How relevant is this now?! Republish!!!!
Ukraine is a pretty racist country. The last figures I saw was, $113 Billion of our money sent to them. Wondering if that comes close to Israel?
And all this homelessness....
UKRAINE will milk us dry and then still side with Russia......WHEN THEY INVADE over here it will be a mess. Christian need to pray that God get us out of this ANTICHRIST SYSTEM ..
Because rubel backed by gold.
My guy Trump 🤍
this aged well🤣
Wow and now they just sent Ukraine 40 billion dollars.. I’m glad I gave my life to Jesus Christ🙌🏿 admonish you to do the same!
now we know.
Why ? .. because of the “Council on Foreign Relations” ..( the C.I.A. Think Tank ) .
Why does USA owe china so much money?
Is Ukraine the most Wealthy Country in the World?
I wish we were giving millions only if it meant we weren’t giving billions!

No he is not bad Trump means business he could have ended that war already without sending them billions. Way to go Trump for president. He is untouchable. As Democrats we will never vote for a Democrat President ever again. He will put a stop to all those immigrants coming into the U.S.
Millions to Ukraine for what we need that money right here.
