There are serious responsibilities that come along with being a superpower and the richest country on Earth. If one wants to look at it from the most self-interested perspective, every single international bank wants the most stable global climate in which to do business. Additionally, those same banks and the biggest corporations make more money in a country of laws and not one in which the leader (Like Putin or MBS) can demand 50% of every dollar made. For those purely selfish reasons alone, a superpower has a responsibility to help maintain peace.

It is one of the reasons that the United States has always provided Israel with billions for its own defense forces. It is meant to keep the Middle East stable by keeping Israel strong. We have military bases in South Korea, Japan, and Germany, in order to provide a deterrent in the region and, thus, stability.

Seen from a purely global-strategic point of view, one cannot have Putin rampaging through Ukraine and controlling access to the Black Sea, as well as threatening Poland and other nations in Europe.

These are selfish reasons for wanting Putin defeated. Aid to foreign countries, including military aid is the price one pays for being rich, free, and alive, all at the same time.

Then there is humanity which has always been the reason that the world looked to the United States as “exceptional,” even when we weren’t quite that. Sending hospital ships to Haiti, dropping food and supplies into areas in utter devastation, ending hunger, suffering, and disease that’s what we do.

Junior understands. He doesn’t oppose “welfare” to Israel. He only opposes “welfare” given to a man fighting Putin. The brave man, President Volodymyr Zelensky, who acknowledged that his country must fight its own war for independence, does want aid to keep democracy stable in Europe. Ukraine is literally providing the world with a service. If Ukraine defeats Putin, it will be a win for Europe and a win for the United States. One could say that our aid to Ukraine is an investment. Zelensky said just that. But not if you’re cheering for Putin to invade and shell apartment buildings. From

“We are not in an easy situation. The enemy is increasing its army. Our people are braver and need more powerful weapons,” Zelensky said, according to the Associated Press. “We will pass it on from the boys to the Congress, to the president of the United States. We are grateful for their support, but it is not enough. It is a hint — it is not enough.”

The comments prompted outcry from some Republicans who criticized Zelensky for his requests.

“Zelensky is basically an ungrateful international welfare queen,” Donald Trump Jr. tweeted on Wednesday.

“Ungrateful?” Zelensky thanked the American people (Not just Congress/Biden) more times last night than we suspect Junior has ever said “Thank you” about money.

Anyway, this little snot-nosed b*tch has never made a dollar that didn’t involve defrauding someone (Dad had to pay off the D.A. in Manhattan from having Don Jr. and Ivanka arrested over false information to potential buyers at Trump SoHo.) Who is he to put anyone down, especially about money?

Zelensky sleeps under Russian missiles flying over him. Additionally, the Republican “outcries” over more military aid, strangely, come most strongly from the people closest to Trump, who – as well all know, is very close to Putin and has never crossed Putin. Indeed, Trump has never once demanded that Putin pull his forces out of Ukraine. The furthest Trump went was that the invasion was a mistake. You don’t hear Don Jr. saying, “Putin needs to get his murderous ass out of Ukraine, so we don’t have to continue sending money!

Nope. He wants Putin to win.

  1. A noise from a pissant with more snow up his nose than is blowing across the Midwest. One thing I know absolutely is true, he wouldn’t say in person to his face. One is a hardened warrior living in the midst of atrocities. The other a pampered pooch living in a gilded doghouse. I’ll go with the warrior.

  2. DJ Jr knows how to get attention. Say something shitty – about anything. DJ Jr never served. He worked for daddykins. He is still the little Scapegoat son of a narcissist. Never grew up to become an independent man.

    Zelensky is 100% more a man than DJ Jr will ever be.
