We are paying for peace in the world for our children and grandchildren. Unless you WANT Russia to take over the world?

Because Zelensky's presidential power ended in the spring of 2024 and no one is taking him seriously anymore.

Meanwhile Putin has been in power for like a decade.

Try 25 years. And Republicans admire Putin's ability to win election after election.

Pay back the billions that went into Americans' pockets?

In reality, only a small percentage of the overall aid package takes the form of cash transfers to Kyiv; the vast majority goes right back into the U.S. economy through several federal government mechanisms.

One of the main mechanisms through which the U.S. provides security assistance to Ukraine is the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI)—a funding program led by the Department of Defense. Aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s armed forces, USAI provides funds for training and advising of Ukrainian military personnel, as well as for procurement of weapons. Nearly $32 billion has been allocated to USAI in three years of Russia’s all-out war.

The State Department’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program is a similar tool, yet its focus is not only on Ukraine but, rather, U.S. foreign policy goals more broadly. FMF helps American allies like Ukraine buy weapons specifically from U.S. manufacturers, supporting U.S. international interests and its military-industrial complex. FMF funding is not transferred to the recipient and is executed by American government agencies. Congress has allocated roughly $6.3 billion to this program for Ukraine security purposes since 2022.

And then there is the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the president to authorize the provision of weapons or services from Defense Department stockpiles to partners. This mechanism provides almost immediate help to allies in emergencies, with assistance sometimes arriving within days of presidential approval. Between August 2021 and April 2024, the State Department used PDA 44 times, providing Ukraine with military assistance worth $23.8 billion.

Same thing happens in Israel.

What do you suggest we do? Meet only with Ukraine? Make a plan with them and expect Russia to just follow along?

Hamar is a terrorist org a little different

However the American people are tired of Ukraine and their demands which haven't been beneficial

The war is only happening because of the U.S. Now we're ending it. If Europe and Zelensky want to invade Russia, that's on them. But the U.S. is now negotiating the end of it's financial, military, and technical support for the war against Russia.
