Asshat explains Rape murder torture.

https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/trump-russia-ukraine-fighting-school-children
And i am quick to remind those who say Zelenskyy started this war.
Russia after the czars alone has invaded Finland Poland Hungary Czech Republic Afghanistan just few examples.
Putin has invaded Ukraine Crimea, Ukraine,Chechnya twice ,Georgia ,South Ossetia, Tranistria ,Moldova ,Abkhazia.
The Soviet Union or Russia. History shows us that Russia has always been a parasite. And I’ll ask anti Ukrainian the not our war types after my short history lesson.
What would you do if someone broke into your home wanting to rape your wife. Or torture and kill you and then abduct your children.
And yet these anti Ukrainian people are totally fine with twenty billion aid to Israel. As the Israeli Army has no restrictions on Aid as in R.O.E. Rules of engagement carrying out genocide on the Palestinian people.

At this time, Israel is heavily involved in military force against Palestinians in Gaza as well as Hamas. It's like trying to find white or black in the color gray. It's well blended.

When the U.S. gives aid to Israel, the funds aren't directly going to the military prosecution of Gaza. But it frees up other funds in Israel, say domestic policy, to be directed to Gaza. Money is fungible. You can't prevent it from being used for other "projects" when the intention is for the "welfare" of Israel.

Technically, our country isn't complicit with the prosecution of the Gaza military action, but our aid does make it easier for Israel to continue its operations.

You give weapons for one purpose and they're used for another.

Yes, I'm certain that The Pentagon and the WH know this already, but they can't/won't hold Israel responsible for the bait-and-switch.
