- During a press conference at the Pentagon on Friday, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revealed that the U.S. government will be providing $6 billion in funding for its Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
This commitment is the country’s largest assistance package to date and will provide Ukraine’s military with critical interceptors for Ukraine’s air defense systems, further counter-drone systems and support equipment, among many other munitions amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.
“The outcome in Ukraine will determine the trajectory of our times,” Austin said, adding that if Russian President Vladimir Putin wins the war, Europe will face a new, unseen security threat.

How much carbon tax is Ukraine paying?
Do you have to worry about a missile fired at you in your sleep?
@@laars0001Why are you so devoted to defending Ukraine in comments on a video on the internet? Lol
@@laars0001Nope I don’t have to worry about that, and it’s not my problem that two foreign countries on a totally separate continent are beefing either. Your attempt at virtue signalling was beyond pathetic.
Maybe we should ask our finance minister
@@laars0001quit the virtue signaling. This a foreign war that’s the US wants. This isn’t a good vs evil conflict for freedom. Wake up.
But I thought Ukraine was winning according to western media
If it weren't for NATO countries volunteers, the russkis would have overrun them months ago.
And according to russian media, kiev in 3 days, so yes ukraine is doing pretty good

They got money for wars but can't feed the poor. ON PURPOSE! Late Stage Capitalism is ugly, folks. The rich elites serve their own interests and screw the poor and working class. That's the power they've been given in the capitalist inequality model.
If we are tired of it, and a lot of people are, then we speak up about it and act on it, together, to create a better system.
Get more aware of what is going on and share with others, then organize and act.

Instead it was used infinitely better in terms of preventing human suffering. We also already have the weapons we’re sending them; we just have to pay to replace them. The key is that we often don’t due to new systems already slated to come online.
This war has barely cost America anything. It’s probably helped us financially with gas sales to europe.

But there's no money for health care...
You have 0 idea about what you are talking about and cannot grasp the scale of the US economy - and it shows.
Theres only money for Ukraine health care and border security

That is excellent. It means the allies of the US have good quality kit. Long live the US and its allies everywhere.

One question brain surgeon what is the end game here ? Do you honestly think Ukraine can win this war? To think it can is a great disservice to yourself and any sane person that still has some brain cells .

In my opinion it all really went without saying, but thanks nonetheless. All the best to you.
a country so far in debt should not borrow money to give billions away.... on that note you all should google canadas national debt and ask why we borrow to give it away too...
Plus check out provincial debt. Ontarios debt almost half a trillion,bc debt 120 billion.
We the People are in NO way responsible for the debts incurred by the Service Corps (political parties) masquerading as the gov't. Would you pay McDonalds debt? Same thing
The Afghan conflict drained $2 trillion without yielding results. Now, with approximately $250 billion spent in Ukraine, let's consider the logic. If such an immense sum failed to make a difference in Afghanistan, how can we expect it to impact Russia? Perhaps it's merely a sanctioned method of siphoning taxpayers' funds into the coffers of weapons manufacturers through stock acquisitions.
Yes! In the good old USA, it's entirely legal for politicians to invest in stocks of weapons manufacturers and subsequently pass bills to fund wars.
🎯
More of our tax dollars pissed away
Money well spent.
Hey, if you were a rich political elite in a global capitalist system based on endless profit growth with no real regard to the health and wellness of the people and sustainability of the planet, wouldn't you also do favours for your elite friends in other countries and send them loads of money in the guise of 'aid packages'? C'mon, it's a big gangster circle jerk in the elite society. Can't be surprised.
The surprise is that more people haven't become fed up with the structural injustice of capitalism and seek to organize and build a new system that is viable and sustainable for all.
Well, some people are like The Zeitgeist Movement, Peter Joseph with The New Human Rights Movement, Kate Raworth with Doughnut Economics or Jason Hickel with Less is More and Michael Tellinger with One Small Town initiative. There are liberation tools out there.
Americans can also choose to NOT vote for war criminals and corporate elites for either Dems or GOP and vote 3rd party for anti-war, pro-humanitarian candidates like Cornel West, Jill Stein or Claudia De La Cruz.
You dont want to see what will happen if war stops. The peace that will happen will be devastating
@@Karlswebbdelaying the inevitable
@@Karlswebb Not really. For that tax bill what's the return that the american taxpayer who ISN'T a weapons manufacturer or defense contractor get? Looks to me like the average american is getting taxed to enrich a minority of warmakers rather than for investment in the good of america as a whole.

Warmongers
Approximately 30,000 Ukrainians have been killed since 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
On the home front in 2023 alone we recently surpassed 100,000 American deaths annually due to fentanyl overdoses in the United States.
A lot of the refugees that come here already have money.
This is only the western narrative to show that Ukraine force is stronger than Russia. The real fact is more than 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers have already been killed.
We both know it’s closer to half a million Ukraine casualties 😮
That’s not even close, it’s 600,000 Ukrainians dead, are you not paying attention.
The average age of a Ukraine conscript is now over 40 yo. A whole generation or 2 has been executed foe NO reason
More mass graves!
Ukrainians are dying because they don’t have weapons. Would you surrender your country to the first dictator that chooses to invade you?! If you think Russia is too far from Canada you are mistaken.
Kremlin trolls, India started paying for oil with bananas. If I were you, I'd start looking for another job.
Didn't they literally just got 60billion!?
Capitalists always need more profit, doesn't matter if it is for war criminals. They still want all the money they can get. Capitalism creates inequality, which promotes class war and real war, over and over and over again. Are we tired of this madness yet? Ready to educate, organize and change?

@@Dave-gy5mv Russia had one of the world's largest and most powerful armies. It attacked a far smaller and weaker neighbour.
Now, 26 months later, its army is in poor shape, has lost an incredible number of men and stunning amount of equipment, and controls less Ukrainian territory than it did in the summer of 2022.
The economic costs have far surpassed 100 trillion roubles.
Tell me, Mr. Davidovich, why is _Russia_ doing so poorly?

Well done America.
The My Lai massacre was a war crime committed by United States Army personnel on 16 March 1968, involving the mass murder of unarmed civilians in Sơn Tịnh district, South Vietnam, during the Vietnam War. Between 347 and 504 civilians were killed by U.S. soldiers from Company C, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment and Company B, 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd (American) Infantry Division. Victims included men, women, children, and infants. Some of the women were gang-raped and their bodies mutilated, and some soldiers mutilated and raped children who were as young as 12. It is the largest publicized massacre of civilians by U.S. forces in the 20th century.
Ukraine has been bombed by Russia since 2014, stop drinking the kool aid.
I'm old enough to remember that shameful incident, however there is no exaggerate.
Most people on here either dont know or dont care. They have their cell phone, wifi and social media and believe what the MSM feeds them. If they dont say it it hasnt happened. The US like many countries has a lot of blood on its hands.
it's very sad that when you're as powerful as US, you can conceal or falsify information/history.

it was 60 billion to both isreal and ukraine. isreal gets more money because Mossad taught the US how to do covert, black, and wet ops in return for money and weaponry, and you guys only paid them half the money and a quarter of the nukes and tanks. That's how the OSS dissolved and turned into the CIA.
