America's support for Ukraine, but at what cost? WashTimesOpEd
As the sun shimmered over the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial, I joined thousands of others over the weekend for the peaceful Rage Against the War demonstration decrying the fact that U.S. taxpayers are sending more than $112 billion to $120 billion to a corrupt, graft-infected country led by a former television comic actor who is basking in his ego-driven glory.
According to a CNN report, authorities recovered a large amount of cash, luxury watches, and cars in a raid carried out on the tax chief’s home. Is this the hill that Americans in the grip of the highest inflation in 40 years are willing to die on? When I spoke with some of the protesters in Washington, they knew nothing of the country’s history. Most couldn’t find it on a map I showed them. They were just outraged at the amount of money, tanks and military hardware the United States is rushing to provide.
