These statements from the hohols are getting increasingly bizarre and deranged.

Ukraine has no alternative to US aid in its conflict with Russia and must rely on Washington’s support, Kiev’s Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba has said, urging for additional weapons as American lawmakers remain deadlocked over the next arms package.
Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour for an interview published on Wednesday, Kuleba argued that Western states have “sufficient resources” to meet Ukraine’s urgent requests for aid, saying efforts must be “stepped up and expedited.”
What a sickening argument.
Imagine a homeless beggar coming up to you and saying “you have sufficient resources to buy me a case of Colt 45.”
Unless you’re a homeless person yourself, you certainly do have those resources to provide this hobo with malt liquor.
But that is not the way money works. You are not obligated to give people free things because you have more than them. That is insane.
“All the West has to do is start believing in itself – in its capacity to prevail,” he said. “And of course, time matters. We cannot sit and wait [for] endless discussions on this matter. So we call on everyone to expedite the decisions that are pending, because the West has shown that it is capable of defending democracy.”
Asked whether Kiev had other options in the event that American largesse does not arrive on time, the Ukrainian FM answered in the negative, saying his country could only rely on US and allied support.
Well, I guess if the hobo said “there is no one else on earth who can buy me this malt liquor,” I may have to reconsider.
“We don’t have a plan B. We are confident in plan A. Ukraine will always fight with the resources given to it. And…what is given to Ukraine is not charity. It’s an investment in the protection of NATO and in the protection of the prosperity of the American people,” he said, citing recent remarks by NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg.
Yeah, but then if the hobo said “it will help you if you buy this for me,” I would again be disgusted.
Kuleba went on to note the ongoing debate in the US Congress over the next round of military aid, observing the dispute is “centered on the domestic issues of borders in the United States.” While the White House has asked lawmakers to pass a $61 billion aid package for Ukraine, some Republicans have vowed to block the measure unless Democrats agree to various border policy reforms. The legislation has been stalled for weeks, though independent US Senator Kyrsten Sinema said lawmakers are “closing in” on a deal, which could authorize billions in military aid for both Ukraine and Israel.
Earlier this week, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby acknowledged that Washington had provided the “last security assistance package that we have funds to support” just ahead of the new year, adding that any additional aid would have to be approved by Congress.
“Absent supplemental funding, there’s no other magical pot to dip into to try to get support for Ukraine,” Kirby added.
Kuleba did not deny that Ukraine is “rapidly burning through” Western arms and ammunition supplied earlier in the conflict, agreeing that Kiev is now seeking new air defense capabilities, combat drones of all types and long-range missiles, in addition to stepped-up sanctions on Russian officials and organizations.
I can’t even work the hobo analogy into that. No analogy is perfect.
These people are so repulsive.
Why do we owe them? This goofy war over a post-Soviet border dispute has caused mass devastation throughout the West. It’s completely transformed the global power dynamics in such a short period of time, while also mangling Europe. Germany is deindustrializing.
I don’t owe shit to these freaks.
