Ukraine is a democracy fighting for its right to exist. We should be helping them. These idiots who think we're shipping money to them are beyond redemption. Much of that money goes to making weapons here in the United States.

We should not be shaking them down when Trump's word is worth nothing and he blames Ukraine for being invaded.
