There are several mis-conceptions about US aid to Ukraine. Most of the money the US spends is spent here in the USA. Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles are taken out of storage, refurbished and shipped by rail to ports, then by ship to Europe, then by rail again to Ukraine.
The value of those stored weapons is counted, the Americans who are paid to refurbish them, the US train companies that haul them, the American longshoremen who load them on trucks all get a portion of that Ukraine aid money.
The other thing Ukraine gets is credit to spend in the US to buy new products, mostly 155mm artillery ammunition and other ammo, that is made in the US, again American workers are employed and American companies make money.
The other thing that credit does is provide money for Ukraine to buy weapons from NATO nations that are usually American built, like F16 fighters and are then replaced by new American fighters for the NATO nation with F35 fighters. So again Americans are employed.

Does Ukraine have a corrupt political system? I suspect it is about as corrupt as the US political system, so make your own mind up about that.

Don't blame MAGA people for any of this, Former President Trump has never said he would end aid to Ukraine, but he has said he may extend loans and make them pay the money back when the war is won, not unlike the Lend Lease system that was used in WWII and the UK, France, and others had to repay those loans to the US. The US is heavily in debt and giving money away to foreign nations, even for a good cause is difficult.

Russia under Putin has invaded Moldova, Georgia, Chechnya (twice) and Ukraine 4 times. Putin has been supporting wars all over Africa and the Middle East.

The War in Ukraine is the same war as the war in the Middle East right now with two Western Nations, Ukraine and Israel fighting a coalition of Iran, radical Islamist groups, Russia, Communist China, and North Korea. Those groups want the destruction of all Western Democracies from Japan, to Israel, to New Zealand, and the United States. They are starting with Israel and Ukraine.

Well said Mike, and pretty much spot on.

Gee Putin nearly sounds like the US.

Except he's not arming a genocide.

Asher, I was never implying "guilt" only that your comments would have got his interest, and no need to apologize to any of us, we are all entitled to and allowed to express our views and thoughts one of the benefits of democracies, unlike China and Russia where you risk arrest and worse for not towing the state/dictators line.

Appeals to foreign individuals to boycott Russian-made products seem somewhat odd when Ukrainian government has been happily transiting billions of cubic meters of Russian gas thus facilitating its sales.

How did Ukraine end up in a situation when its close neighbors (along with part of your compatriots) are willing to take up arms against it? Where did it take a wrong turn?

I have no more time for communist propaganda than I do for anyone else's , open your mind and think for yourself.

Whose propaganda turned "communist" this time, MPs' or Independent's?
Point is - general public understanding of what's going on is pretty much on par with that of these MPs - they don't know whom they applaud and for what.
