I'm seeing a minerals deal, not yet confirmed with Ukraine and it sounds pretty good to me. They need aid and from what I have gathered Trump is willing to send aid in return for certain mineral rights in Ukraine.
It's about time we stopped throwing money all throughout the planet and not getting anything in return. Trump makes good sense here and I can certainly go along with the plan if it materializes.
We have given out too damned much money over the years and gotten nothing in return. We even have given vast amounts of money to places that hate us which is poor financial control because if we don't give them any money they'll still hate us for free.
Before we give any money to anyone the first thing we should ask ourselves is what's in it for us?
Well said! The US must stop being the sugar daddy for all the deadbeat countries that are living off our life blood.
ReplyDeleteDo you think we dropped off bags of $100 bills over there? No. 70% of the aid we gave them was supplied by US firms. You know, the kinds of firms that give Americans jobs? It's the same deal we give Isreal and it supports defense industry jobs. But you are oversimplifying this in an disengenuous way. What an odd thing about which to be obsessing over day after day. I feel sorry for you that you don't have something better with which to drive your thoughts.
