And progressives conservatived will say "We're wasting all that money giving it to Ukraine", not realizing we're not giving Ukraine straight cash. We're giving them American manufactured weapons and ammunition. In the begining it was just giving them old leftover backstock to clear out warehouses.

By now I'm sure those have been depleated, and now we're giving Ukraine weapons and ammunition based on government contracts, that progressives conservatives were the ones that decades ago advocated for.

So America basically just gave American companies 2.3bn in cash, to produce weapons and ammunition, and then gave those weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

Now, if those progressives conservatives DON'T want us to do that, we'll STOP giving money to the American war machine, and the next time we're at war, we'll be behind in tech. All in an effort to lower taxes for billionaires who wouldn't even notice.

Edit: oopsie! I typed "progressives" when I was thinking of "conservatives". It's hot, I'm gonna blame it on my brain being fried.
