I hope my president does the right thing for once and vetos this thing.
Why would a Russian care?
I'm Turkish and Turkey is in NATO.. We have a veto.
I know NATO doesn't have unlimited resources, but given that this is an explicit proxy war with Russia, doesn't $100bn seem kind of paltry? That makes it appear that they're planning on continuing cash infusions from the US.
EDIT: I'm saying that the US can't be relied on to continue supporting the war effort because the GOP in particular has become increasingly opposed to funding it.
Or ya know, fucking assassinate Putin already
chances are he has dementia
