What kind of stupid funnels this kind of cash to the most corrupt country in Europe with no accountability?
The cash isn't funneled to Ukraine. The cash is spent here in the US with US defense contractors who build more weapons and ship them off to Ukraine. This has the byproduct of expanding the US GDP and American jobs.
Would you like to revise your comment now that you know that?

It’s pretty pathetic that they dress up their anti-Ukraine stance behind paleocon rhetoric (Republicans have never been afraid to go to war). They oppose Ukraine aid not because they are against war, but because they support Russia, perhaps even more than they support their own country.
The part of the ideology that is new is for them to align with our enemies.
I believe a former Republican nominee called Russia and Putin specifically the greatest threat to the US. I guess those were the good old days when Republicans were patriots at least.

Well, not quite. When Trump was running for President in 2015, the stuff was already there: his love of dictators, his bankruptcies, his comments on grabbing women by their genitals, etc. Jan 6 was the low point. Nothing is going to come out at any of his trials that is worse than what we already know about him. Trump has kept disqualifying himself for elected office, yet Mitch and the others have kept endorsing him.
It's just that some Republicans know we're more likely to face WWIII and pay in blood and tears for world stability if we don't support Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel now, with weapons and money.
Some people understand history and the "pay now to pay less later" lessons it delivers regularly.
The MAGA wing doesn't. Or maybe it does, but it cares more about keeping the rubes outraged and staying in power.
