Gen. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, announced Tuesday that the United States will continue to offer financial support to Ukraine indefinitely. This comes as disappointing news to Americans who are stretching dollars, counting pennies and growing increasingly opposed to further support of the Ukraine war.
Milley boasted about the United States’ continued involvement in the war while delivering an emotive speech about what life is like for Ukrainians. But attempts to appeal to American hearts may be a fruitless endeavor today.
Americans are being bled dry. Many consider the $113 billion sent to Ukraine since February 2022 to be a part of the problem. The solution seems simple: Pull out of the war. But Milley conveyed that’s not what our government has planned for us.
Milley reiterated, “As President Biden and Secretary Austin have said many, many times over, we, the United States, will continue to provide support to Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
It appears American tax dollars may be at the mercy of Moscow’s timeline. Milley made it clear that the U.S. will forge ahead with more financial support of the war effort until Putin says it’s a wrap.
Per Milley, the U.S. has doled out military equipment, such as “javelins and Stingers that helped stop the initial Russian onslaught.” But it didn’t stop there. We’ve handed over artillery, air defense weaponry, armor, mechanized vehicles, breaching equipment and more.
Milley added the end goal is to, “Support Ukraine until Putin’s unwarranted, illegal and ruinous war of choice comes to an end.” In the meantime, many Americans are left feeling they have no choice in the matter.
Despite a government shutdown looming at the end of this month, bipartisan support to fund Ukraine isn’t surfacing. Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) speech in the Senate on Wednesday represented the majority of the American people well. He won’t support further funding of the Ukraine war because he is standing in support of his nation’s people instead.
The average American has withdrawn their support for Ukraine over the last year, too. But the government is still spending our money.
Milley also claimed U.S. efforts to support Ukraine’s combat against Russia would brand us as a leader of the rule of law in our adversaries’ eyes. Americans aren’t likely to buy that. They’re concerned with the growing deficit, the rates of homelessness, illegal immigration and the cost to feed their families — not what future enemies may think of them.

Claims that an overwhelming majority of Americans support this war effort might be based on outdated data that represents a more stable time in our nation when we could afford to have bleeding hearts.
A more recent Morning Consult poll attests that 58% of Republican voters don’t feel the U.S. is responsible for helping Ukraine. In contrast, 53% of Democrat voters do. Only 38% of American voters believe we should be lending a hand in Ukraine — the lowest figure yet since Russia’s invasion.
The more U.S. tax dollars are sent to Ukraine, the higher we may see inflation rise on American soil. The more members of Congress ignore the constituents they are to be representing, the more unstable the nation may become. Nevertheless, our government’s focus remains fixed on the people of Ukraine.

It is not up to him to decide!
If Trump or even VR wins, he should be fired. He failed the Kabul soldiers.
Gave Bagram and $ billions to the enemy. Milley an agent of the M-I complexes.
Revolving door btw industries and gov must locked once and for all.
Milley is aiming for a cushy position on the board of some defense contractor
Milley has no place in the US army. Not as a general and not even as a regular soldier. He is a danger to the army and to the US citizens. He is the enemy within. Along with his boss, Biden and too many others to mention here, they must all go to Ukraine immediately. If they are so onside with Zelensky (the Jewish hero) and Ukraine (a simple democracy), let them go fight the Russians.
What wasn’t mentioned in the article are the tens of thousands of top US elite troops and CIA who are already on Ukrainian soil! Milley, who’s top priority is to ensure proper pronouns are used in the military, is focused on getting the US embroiled in WW3 with Russia and destroying the world’s economy. Like the nazis before him, he’s just following orders.
General Milley has no credibility as a spokesperson for the US military as he offered to commit treason during Donald Trump’s presidency by calling his equivalent in China and telling him that he would let him know in advance if President Trump had any military plans against China. Not since Arnold Benedict has a US General behaved so treacherously towards his own countrymen.
No, the problem isn’t capitalism which has lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic system. The problem is the fusion of multinational corporations and government, which is fascism. This is the system of government of the Biden junta.
It is the crony capitalism of the CCP. In China the workers make a dollar a day. This is what Obama wants to bring to the US, as does the WEF and their puppet, the brain damaged Biden.
The more people living on government checks, the more they can control the people.
Capitalism isn’t the cause of our current dystopia. In fact, if we return to a true free market enterprise system, it can be the cure.
The problem is that the American constitution has been smashed by the globalists, through the perverse use of a “medical emergency.” This essentially creates martial law in the country.
We are living in a Stasi police state under martial law, with billionaire globalists calling policy decisions that benefit only them at the expense of all American citizens who are not billionaires.
This was all made possible by Obama who illegally commandeered a supercomputer surveillance system (THE HAMMER) meant to track and find foreign terrorists, and keep Americans safe, to be used against Obama’s political rivals.
Now it is used by many deep state agencies, not just the CIA. (It is illegal for the CIA to spy on Americans, but that didn’t matter to Obama, Brennan, and Clapper).
Obama’s treason accounts in good part for our current plight as Americans.
If only the people of America could really see the hell that it’s government, not the hapless Russia, has inflicted. Biden and his NeoCons didn’t suddenly and mysteriously appear on the scene. Way back in the 80s on YouTube there’s an energetic Joe Biden thinking aloud about engineering a war on Russia’s border – just as it happened. And Doug McGregor is sure of one thing in America today it really is a Uniparty. A Uniparty which is defending the system which is the Uniparty of the rich, of capitalism, we in Ireland have our own such parties (Ireland has Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and capitalist Greens)
America today is not unique in this at all. Our earthly problems emerge out of a certain system called the capitalist SYSTEM.
