Seem’s like America just forget that they to have poor people to be feed too

Absolutely ridiculous. We should not be giving these people another red cent.

Oh,so that’s where the baby formula has gone. Biden reminds me of the stepdad attempting to buy acceptance from his stepchildren. Meanwhile his biological children go without shoes (baby formula).

$215 Million in overseas food assistance to one country compared to $28 Million to tackle the current baby food formula in our country! Charity begins at home American politicians!

More killing

BLACK AMERICANS BEING KELT FOR SPORT BUT NO PROTECTION LAW. BUT AMERICA CAN FOCUS ON OTHER CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, BUT THERE OWN PEOPLE, THIS IS AMERIKKK

Tell Ukraine to get money from the other Western European countries.

Americans need zelensky to sell their weapons, never mind abt the low income families. Its capitalism.

All this help with weapons is either captured or destroyed by the Russians, a million shots can be found on the Internet today ... Just to make American citizens a little more aware of where their tax money is going.

its cheaper to just go to war

This could send all students to Harvard University with this kind of money.... President Trump.... How far is 2024 we need a break.... while Europe is contributing by joining nato letters & discussions😭😭😭

America will do anything to look good internationally while food banks here in the U.S are struggling and social service programs are underfunded severely

Uh oh here come the baby formula comments….

Food? Mmmm....

One day Americans will be sorry for helping out terrorists drug attic’s ultranationalist and child prostitution international dealer’s coming from Ukraine

OOOOOO HELLLL NOOOO

Are we the only ones who are giving money. I havent heard any other countries assisting

Lol

Vlad-lin, your brilliant Soviet-inspired calculations are working out no If this happens, Europe will be stuck in Red tape, Nato will be divided, Ukraine will capitulate easily, I'll intimidate the world, the sanctions won't bite because I'll brandish nukes if the going gets...

Lest we forget the words of the ex-defeated President. He can’t wait to get back in the Oval Office so that he can kiss Putin’s ass.

Mariupol fell after almost 3 months of defiant resistance. Just how long will the UkraineWar continue is difficult to judge, for the Russian assault has more or less stalled. Or is it Putin's aim to simply pelt Ukrainian cities with shells and rockets?PutinWarCrimes

中国高官犯贱,有辱国家。。。。 不要以国家内政为由,反说全世界干政 ! 可以反驳的!!! 犯贱,找人那么精准? 事实嘛,故意看不见? 无关内政,个人独白

At this point Americans need to fire every politician and start from scratch. This is nuts.

What a load of crap?!

I would think most Americans would be against this…

Vote Democrats out!

We still have food lines at the almost-empty food pantries in New Jersey if they want to throw some our way

I truly care about what is going on in Ukraine but you notice other nations don’t help in the same capacity we do. Care for your own citizens living in poverty every day

Yet, these bitches don’t have money to buy us any additional Covid vaccines!?

$ 40 billions in weapons. $ 215 millions in food. This is too much America.
