Ukraine has quickly devolved into a bottomless money pit for the countless nations and corporations that have been bankrolling its war against Russia.
On Friday, billionaire Elon Musk hilariously trolled a pro-Ukraine reporter who tweeted that SpaceX may no longer be able to supply its Starlink satellite internet terminals free to Ukraine due to the prohibitive costs of operating them.
In response to the Kiev Post correspondent’s tweet noting that the move “comes days after Ukrainian Ambassador @MelnykAndrij told Musk to ‘f*** off,’ the SpaceX founder quipped: “We’re just following his recommendation.”

The Ukraine is the most corrupt country on Earth. They have been a conduit for American foreign aid to be sent to Ukraine and given to Hunter who pockets 90% with 10% going to The First Vegetable. Am appalled by the loss of life and property damage but we can't be the World's Policeman. It's time we started worrying about the USA. We are broke and our nation is being invaded through the non existant Mexican border. America First.

I would go further and make my satellites inoperable to Ukraine or monitor their communication for fraud or corruption.

Starlink is not the only or even best satellite service available in the Ukraine. Russia even hacked another provider on day 1 of the war but those modems have been replaced with newer models and are working fine.

But that's the way it always goes: you try to do good and help out someone in trouble then suddenly they feel permanently entitled to your largesse. As no good deed goes unpunished, no one would blame Elon for walking away now.

The ambassador is an idiot.
And #1, is a avid consumer of Russian propaganda, without facts.
The USA is probably more corrupt than Ukraine now.

They might as well be the same country. Neither is worth one penny of our tax dollars. The politicians from both parties and most countries can get their bribe money elsewhere. Maybe Burisma will hire their kids to ghost jobs.
Like most places we go, we have no legitimate business there.

In my opinion, we should support ANY country that is fighting for it's independence from a big, overbearing oppressor.
Marquis de Lafayette, Compte de Rochambeau and Compte de Grasse were valiant Frenchmen who supported our very difficult fight to get out from under the thumb of Britain, and with troops, their personal leadership and ships.
Many/most Americans either are so ignorant of history or forgetful that they don't realize that we wouldn't have won our freedom without French suppourt, including troops, weapons and the critical ships of de Grasse preventing the British fleet from rescuing Cornwallis at Yorktown.
I see this as our chance to pay it on, and help another country defend themselves, like the French helped us. And we aren't even asked for troops, only weapons.

Here's how I now see the "Ukraine War." It is meant to drain the treasury of the United States. It is meant to put Klaus and Company in the drivers seat of the western economy and political system. It is a way to destabilize Russia (we really don't want that). It is a way to reward the military industrial complex. It is a way to empower the global media with their fantastic stories of whoa and intrigue. It is also another shiny thing to keep our minds occupied with nonsense while they destroy our God-given rights.

Ukraine needs to be dismantled, from the top down to the ground. And the Swamp needs to be exposed for all their corrupt dealings in this country. I think we would be truly shocked how many members of congress have dealings themselves with Ukraine. Even their staff have their own dealings. It must be really REALLY bad if the Chechens are joining Russia's side in this war. They hate Nazi types, and there must be a groundswell in Ukraine.

So many experts who have never been to Ukraine, never met a single Ukrainian.

1. The Ambassador is not the chief executive of a country.
2. If Ukraine wasn't a corrupt country, they wouldn't have joined with some second rate American crime family.

No worries. Zelensky has suddenly become the Brandon regime's best friend and they will find a way to continue to "support" their efforts against Russia with our dwindling supply of tax money. If Ukraine is overrun by the Russians, their records of deals with Hunter and the Cabbage Head will be published by Putin for the entire world to see. As it is here as well as it is in Russia and the Ukraine, the citizens are not to blame, the corrupt leadership is and all efforts to remove the head of the snake are honorable. The US used to be the undisputed leader of the free world and still everybody hated us. Imagine what they think of us now.

Speaking of Ukraine as being a money pit...who is getting wealthy at the U.S. taxpayer's expense there? Money laundering anyone? And if anyone argues about our involvement with Ukraine...like Hannity haranguing Tulsa Gabbard the other night about her resistance to war. Why another war in another country? Military industrial complex demands it?
What has happened in this country when those of us question the billions of dollars sent to Ukraine without any accountability of where that money is going??? Or as Tulsa asks, are we trying to provoke WWIII? A TAXPAYER WANTS TO KNOW!

I agree it is noble and right for the United States of America to try to support a country that is under siege by a totalitarian country.
And it is shocking and sickening how the people of Ukraine have suffered under Russia's assault. But from day 1 there has been something troubling about this entire situation. We know, Ukraine is an incredibly corrupt country. And we also know, (and one does not need black and white confirming evidence) that many, MANY of our electeds are feeding from the same Ukrainian trough as the corrupt mafia (apologies to the mafia) Biden family.
Also troubling, is Zelensky's and his hacks' responses to Elon Musk. Really guys, have a little humility and thanks for a guy that didn't think twice about stepping in, putting his company's resources at risk, to help this once noble cause. And now you guys tell him to F-off when he speaks of peace? Something is very, very wrong with this entire situation.
US taxpayers are being bled once again, by a war that really is none of our business, from which many corrupt politicians and businesses are making millions. I would ask Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and others, if you believe US involvement in this war is so vital, are you willing to have your sons and daughters fight and die for it? Tulsi Gabbard knows a little bit about this topic.
If Zelensky does not want to pursue some type of peace negotiation with Russia, the US must pull the plug and let go of this mess. I fear the current crop of elected officials have neither the will nor the economic interests to derail yet another taxpayer scam from their pockets.

And #6,8,9,12 is an avid consumer of Biden propaganda. How’s this for history, you LOUT: the Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union who loved killing our men and women fighting for OUR freedom. Ukrainians and their GARBAGE SUPPORTERS deserve an extra-warm corner of Hell.

#12 (et al), I have done both. Whatever your beloved Ukraine may have once been, it is no longer. The Obama administration saw to that when they overthrew the previous Ukrainian administration and put this cocaine-addled, little puppet and his corrupt regime in its place. Ukraine has been, and continues to be, one of the main financial spigots of the Global State. It is corrupt to its core, irrespective of your colleagues and friends there. Do the people in the streets of the Ukraine deserve what has happened to their country. No. But their enemy is their own leadership, as is ours. Until they solve that problem, no amount of American taxpayer money can save them.
Your condescending assertion that those of us who disagree with you don’t know history is pathetic. And, to equate the American Revolutionary War with the depravity of the Ukrainian situation is ludicrous.

A cold-warrior from birth on a USAF SAC base in the '50s, my early, instinctive, supportive sympathies for Ukraine evaporated into their sucking maw of arrogant entitlement, with their dirty hands out, palms up, and fingers rubbing together like punks ever-signaling us to increase our US dollar flow. As their government cares not one whit for US interests, it's time to cut bait before Biden uses their war as a vehicle for our own demise, while suborning wholesale foreign invasion of our homeland.

#20 - Thank you for your honest and measured comment. I hope #12 will be able to appreciate it as well. I have long admired his wide range of international experiences, but his friendships and emotional attachments to Ukraine have clouded his judgements regarding this horrendous war. I pray his friends can safely navigate the danger they face. I pray we all can.

'Scuze the second post, but #17 is right. Biden and Zelensky know there is a lot of money to be made when a country goes to war. Google WWII if you don't remember how many ''American'' families got very rich* during and after the war and the rebuilding of most of Europe the USA paid for. The stupid Sniffer can still smell money afar off. (*soft drinks, OTC medicines, rubber, shoe leather, tobacco companies, metals, etc.)
