I'm not in favor of Tucker Carlson position, in my opinion we do have to support Ukraine and Isreal. However, it should be defined as to the future of tax payer dollars in this support.

I have now discussed Ukraine with 10 people within the past two days mostly Democrat voters-sadly they don't even know where Ukraine or Isreal is and they don't care about them. Additionally, they will vote for Harris and Walz because they will take care of them because they are Black. Trump voters will vote Trump regardless as well.

In my opinion, none of the discussions matter or will matter until it impacts the day to day lives of most Americans.

Yes, the money does come back to the bombs and bullets makers here in the US. So, I guess your point of 90% comes back to the US makes sense if you can sleep knowing that Russians, Ukrainian, Isrealies, and Arab’s are the benefactors of our investment of barely 1% of our GDP. Guess no strategy needs to be defined in that case. Maybe Harris will show strength and apply political pressure if she's elected.

Why should we commit now to how much we're willing to spend on Ukraine defense aid in the future? We don't do that with Israel.

Huh?

I agree that most Americans prioritize what impacts them in their day-to-day lives over foreign policy matters.

How are Russians a benefactor of Ukrainian defense aid?

No, I don't think you are in favor of other people dying. Just trying to make the point of some sort of strategy is needed here. Maybe its a lot more money but how much? Maybe more pressure on economic sanction.

What are we going to do?

Cool, because defense aid for Ukraine and Israel is about keeping Ukrainians and Israels alive and free against those illegally attacking and terrorizing their respective countries.

>>Just trying to make the point of some sort of strategy is needed here.

Should U.S. defense aid to Israel be contingent on specific strategies for their survival?
