The Ukraine is gaining strength @

Actually I predicted this would happen.  I work with a Ukrainian and my overall impression is Russians look down on Ukrainian as peasants.  I looked what the word peasants in relation to Russians . It's quite bad. They have no value.  Meaning in battle the Russians will very likely underestimate the Ukrainians. They will refuse to believe the enemy has any ability except get drunk and dance. So far I seem to be right.

why are we sending billions to corrupt ukraine in Russia's backyard?

wouldn't it be better to spend those billions on "Americans First"?

lets spend billions of American taxpayers money on American schools, American veterans, American elderly, American roads and bridges, American hospitals, American inner cities, American border security, American first responders, etc.....

As a American Civil servant I witness how money is spent.  It simply doesn't work like that. We can cut all money going overseas and very little or none will make to the places you states. I'll focus on schools. Massive amounts are already spent but very little reaches parts where we think it should go to.  My town spents over a billion a year on the homeless.  It's not making much of a dent.  Money isn't the real problem.  It's funds allocation . We really don`t need to worry about overseas spending.
