The Group of Seven (G7) vows to provide support to Ukraine in all possible forms “for as long as it takes,” according to a draft communique of its ongoing summit, seen by Bloomberg.
The three-day meeting of the G7 leaders began on Sunday in Bavaria, Germany, with the Ukrainian conflict dominating the agenda.
“We will continue to provide financial, humanitarian, military, and diplomatic support and stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes,” reads the draft of the leaders’ statement.
Ukraine is bleeding mostly US money that we have to borrow or print. At the same time, the US and Europe are in desperate straits over fuel and funds.
Zelenskyy is now calling for $5 billion dollars a month to pay his bureaucrats. That’s just for office personnel. That’s in addition to the $100 billion US and EU funds to keep the doomed military going.
This isn’t sustainable.
It’s Unsustainable
Ukraine has lost its ports and vast areas of land, leaving it a rump nation. They have zero chance of regaining territory.
It’s seriously harming the US dollar. We’re subsidizing a foreign government while we have sky-high inflation.
The people of Ukraine are forced to suffer a horrific tragedy and Zelenskyy won’t negotiate with Russia.
Americans don’t realize what is going on over there because of disinformation spread by people like secretary of state Blinken. Russia has overrun about a third of the country.
Blinken’s reasoning in the clip below isn’t accurate:
This distinction between “strategic” and “tactical” doesn’t make any sense. Unless it just means, every battlefield setback by Russia is an all-encompassing “strategic” failure, whereas every battlefield setback by Ukraine is just a minor “tactical” failure pic.twitter.com/VjGN5Fza45

Where are those Code Pink Women?
The US now meets every conceivable criteria for effectively being at war with Russia, except evidence of direct combat, and even the NYT acknowledges it has
basically no clue what the CIA “boots on the ground” have even been doing https://t.co/8xmNm3rzOq— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) June 26, 2022
So the NYT confirms that CIA and NATO “boots on the ground” have been in Ukraine all along, but two months ago you were a totally unhinged disinformation agent if you suspected this

Hollywood’s Taken Up the Cause
NBC says it’s airing a star-studded, prime-time special to raise money for Ukraine with the aim of “spreading awareness through the power of entertainment.”
The hourlong benefit, “Ukraine: Answering the Call,” will air on Sunday at 7 p.m., the network announced Monday.
Who is answering the call for Americans who are hurting?
The special will include remarks from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as appearances by celebrity chef José Andrés and musicians and actors, including Kristen Bell, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Julianne Moore, Rosie Perez, Jon Batiste, Brandi Carlile, Brian Cox, Vera Farmiga, Jeff Daniels, Lena Headey, and Simu Liu, NBC said.
A group of Broadway performers will also come together to sing “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”
Let them do that, but the government needs to look at the endless financing.
everyone knows the big guy gets 10%
If he needs that much money every month I suggest he get off his @ss and get a job!
As long as the Leftists in Europe/NATO/USA believe they can drain the American economy some more, they will willingly spend OUR money to do so. I’d like to know how much of the 100 *illions of dollars are coming from the USA v all the rest?
Wonder what the “big guy” gets ?
Its 10%
Just ask Biden.
what a total crap posting this is. The author is a Russia sympathizer, “Ukraine has zero chance of regaining territory”, my foot. The Russian army is incompetent, most of their generals are now dead, Russia is running out of tanks and munitions and the Russian people are starting to revolt against all the soldier deaths. Meanwhile, all of NATO is pouring in more and more military assistance to Ukraine. This is a war of attrition now, and Russia is clearly bound to lose it.
That’s the whole idea of this war to begin with, to collapse Russia, wreck their alliance with China, and therefor their value in a fight against the rest of us. Isolate China, take away their allies and destroy their economy as well. Bring these two down as the threats they are. Neither China nor Russia will be allowed to rule the Earth.
You’re an idiot believing in Biden’s propaganda. The US government and media has been lying to you for years and years but you still believe what they say? How’s the gas prices and inflation getting to you? Is all that Putin’s fault? I didn’t realize that Putin can control our country’s economy? How pathetic we are that Russia can control the US economy. Think about that you idiot, if Russia can control our economy then we can’t win against Russia in war.
Ukraine is becoming a money pit for the US. We need to stop throwing $$$ at it. Let Ukraine’s neighbors foot the bill. We have enough problems here.
Trollop much?
Given that the whole military budget of Ukraine prior to the war was about $3B a YEAR, the idea of a budget of $5B a month for personnel alone seems overblown.
In terms of providing larger sums than that though for equipment – we are already in the war support business in Ukraine. Pressing him to negotiate is absurd given that we know from repeated Russian practice that they talk about negotiations but just use the pause to resupply troops then resume the attack. Up until now we have destroyed a quarter of the Russian army through our support. This is a good thing. I would be happy to see us continue this support and destroy the rest of the Russian army. Every tank, plane, helicopter, armored vehicle, troop concentration, artillery piece, ammo or fuel dump we destroy is one less military asset we will face in a future Russian attack on a NATO country. Best to bleed them white now. The weaker they are, the less they can do when China strikes to conquer the Pacific (China obviously reviving the WWII Japan plan – take the first Island chain then SE Asia then the Philippines and Indonesia then Australia and NZ then the Aleutians through Alaska, British Columbia then the US west in their search for resources for 1.4 BILLION people). Right now Russia is powerful enough to attack NATO, pin down US resources and enable China to take the divided US on successfully in the Pacific. By gutting Russia’s military now and defending Ukraine’s soverignty we make that impossible since any attack from Russia could be cut in half by a flank attack from Ukraine. This means that if we face China we can focus all our resources on protecting the Pacific and our West Coast.
There it is. Exactly right.
Ukraine lost the war with Russia already and the US politician are just milking the US taxpayers. How pathetic we are that we’re suffering here in the US for a foreign war we’re not even INVOLVED?
NATO has 300K troops with a 100K US troops. Are NATO and Biden going to secure special energy contracts from Putin before or after they attack to save a nation and its people from the terrible, sick, power mad Russian autocrat? My guess- these shoot, aim, ready specialists will definitely strike first, then promptly run out of fuel. Let’s go Brandon!
A little off, the US has 1.4 million active duty military personnel and over 800,000 reserves.
I’m sure if you offered Russia 1/5 of those $ to leave they would take it! How stupid do the think we are? The Democrats have to go away, far away.
You do not understand Russia. When you consider the geography Russia is in there is a very large broad area with no real natural barriers to expansion. For a thousand years Russia has been all about controlling all that region. They have done an excellent job. The fall of the USSR took away a good portion and the most productive portion (the former Warsaw Pact countries now mostly in NATO). Putin wants it all back – Poland, the Baltic States, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Hungary etc. He sees it as Russia’s destiny. He could care less about $10B or $50B just as the US would not give up Alaska or Hawaii or Maine for a cash payment from China. Putin’s strategic interest is in conquering all the territory he can hold. Count on it. The correct response is to bleed him white for attempting to do so, make him fail in Ukraine, and then strengthen Ukraine so any further attacks he makes against Finland or Sweden or the Baltics or Southeast Europe can be cut off by a flank attack from NATO in the Ukraine. Geography is destiny. Always has been.
A good analysis. I’d agree with 90% of it but not aggressive enough with the bleeding. Don’t cut off his arm or leg. Rather start with the left aorta right after you take off his 3rd leg.
Trump tried to straighten out the mess made by Democrats in the Ukraine. His thanks: lies and impeachment.
think most Americans feel sorry for the people of the Ukraine, as we do the the deserted Afghanis. But the graft endemic in that country makes giving money just plain foolish. The longer the dems control the government the worse it will get. Vote wisely in November.
Overstated argument. Ukraine is more corrupt than the US but less corrupt than say Mexico or Greece or many other US allies, let alone China or Russia. Having worked around the world you realize that core values of non-corruption are strong only in Western Europe, the Anglosphere (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ), Japan and South Korea. The rest all has a significant degree of corruption. But the rest is easily 80% of the world population. We cannot stop working with them and just concede all of them to China because they are corrupt – if we do, long term we lose badly.
His coke habit is much worse than I thought
Sounds like they can’t afford to be in a war so maybe they shouldn’t be in a war. The USA is broke.
We have plenty cash for illegals.
I don t deny there is real war over there but still, this has turned into a scam.
A money making scam for Zelensky….and Biden probably gets his 10%
“They” could care less about Ukranians…they are going all out to ‘make a war’…to deflect the coming November…
