    Won’t need to. Trump’s pick to handle it already said he’s not only planning to cut new funding, but going to remove the US provided weapon systems from Ukraine. That’s why the Biden administration is trying to get the already congressionally approved funding and weapons out the door before the end of the year.

      Plus, I’m sure he’ll be happy to offer Papa Putin a big ol’ bailout.

      I don’t imagine it would fly with congress, but I would not be surprised to see funding to Russia.

        It’ll be hidden somehow. Probably by lifting or undermining sanctions and deregulating crypto-laundering.

          “See” was the wrong word. “learn of many years after the fact” seems a better fit.

        Well it has dropped a lot but that’s pretty zoomed in to distort how big the drop is. I’m hoping for Russian economic collapse

          It’s still pretty significant. It means a lot of Republicans basically got a 10% pay cut overnight.

          I’m hoping for a removal of putin from power and the Russian people get a chance to create a more democratic system where they actually have people in power that are genuinely want to help the population.
