You and others that think this way need to read the following concerning the great need America has what is called conservative internationalism.

Yup just print and spend resources we don't have while allowing China to expand its international waters and control over Asia as we are totally unprepared to confront them.... If Putin and the Ukraine war were such a threat then the European nations would do more. As it is NATO only serves our arms industry and the military industrial complex, Eisenhower's warnings seemingly have gone unheeded.
The EU is perfectly happy to suck at the teats of the American taxpayers even though our treasury has run dry.

By the wording you obviously never bother reading the Foreign affairs piece I posted.
In addition you should actually research what EU and others are doing :

And

It would be interesting to see what percent of our defense budget is our Ukraine support versus other countries .
I don’t know tigers but our is 4% , with no American blood spilt .
And finally, everything is not dollars and cents, there are actions America must do because of who we are and what we believe.

BS! Trump tried to fill the reserves at $30/barrel, he proposed buying 92 million barrels but congress would not authorize the funding for the purchase.... Biden is an idiot, he used the reserves to keep his polling from going into the toilet and now he is faced with the problem of having the lowest reserves in decades as he tinkers around with two wars and possibly a third walking the edge of WWIII.
Don't act as if Biden is somehow a smart president, he is a dithering fool.

I read it, it was little more than a prop piece for Raytheon.

If we (the U.S.) is sending all that ammunition to Ukraine, then that would mean even more people are being employed manufacturing the “goods”.
A great “plus” for Biden and the liberal democrat-socialists, right?

What we are sending Ukrain is older arms that we are replacing in our stockpile with more modern ones.

Apparently Raytheon isn't one of your holdings.

I keep hearing this 4% number out there, must be that new math as I am pretty sure that we have spent in excess of $100 billion in aid to the Ukraine, apparently we are not only funding the war but we a paying government workers and pensions, how benevolent of us.... Of course there are cities and towns here in the states that could use that funding but they are not even a thought of this administration. This country has its own problems that go unaddressed, it is time to let the EU fully handle the Ukraine.

So, would you have rather had the oil reserves replenished while the price of oil was high, or during a downturn in prices?
I don't know about you, but it seems like the smarter financial choice for the United States was to wait for a downturn in the cost of oil!
Right now the demand for fuel is down from the summer use levels, which tends to drop the cost of oil.
Remember the old adage, supply and demand?
If there isn't enough supply when demand is high, prices tend to go up.
Now that the demand is lower, prices are heading back down again.

Actually it's your perfect deflection on the right, because you refuse to post a single source to back up your claims of bs by others, which your full of most of the time!

LOL, so Slo is buying 2.7 million barrels of oil to replace the 180 million barrels he released..... And you have the nalgas to act as if it is some sort of windfall for the American taxpayers.
The 2.7 million barrels is just the start in the replenishment process.
You don't think that there'll be more purchases in the near future?

Hummm, did you forget the Infrastructure Bill which IS investing in our Cities and Towns all across the country!
Bridges which used to take months or years, are being rebuild in mere days BECAUSE of the Infrastructure Bill!
What are your proposals for additional spending which you want sent to Cities and towns? Have any of those Cities and towns applied for funding or services since the Infrastructure Bill passed?
A few specifics to back up your bs claim are needed for context.
trump was never even close to getting an Infrastructure Bill out of committee, much less passed!
