First, stop with the "bankrupt us" nonsense. Sending money and weapons to Ukraine is not going to bankrupt us.
So the question is really should we be supporting Ukraine or not. On one hand, there is the isolationist argument that who cares about what happens in other countries when it doesn't directly impact the US but on the other hand I don't think we can sit back and watch Russia expand farther until we are left without a choice but to get involved. The way we have handled it so far is fairly ideal. No US troops at risk and we send a message to Russia (and China) that we are committed to aiding in defense against their aggression.
We're not "giving" it to them as it isn't our money. It was their money which we are unfreezing.
Getting the hostages home is good but if you just give them money for hostages then that is a bad deal. Lots of articles about a nuclear slowdown from Iran as well recently though so you can't just look at everything in a vacuum when it comes to international diplomacy.
That's not why they are being sued.
They were violating discrimination laws. You may not like the law, and they may not like the law.. but the law is the law.
Not sure what you're referring to there. Sanctions / freezing assets?
That's not on Joe. That's on all of them. No one has offered anything that would fix the issue.
Too politically damaging on both sides to actually address it.
If we continue to send Billions of aid every month to Ukraine with little accountability and no end in sight, we will go bankrupt. There is no way we can afford to outspend China and Russia. The military has already stated our military stockpiles are dangerously low. Biden has depleted our strategic oil reserves in a bid to lower gas prices and now has announced that they have stopped trying to refill them at this point because its too expensive.
Essentially, we are in the beginning stage of WWIII in this proxy war. Now both Iran and N Korea also supplying weapons to Russia. So it makes no sense to me that we are preparing to handover more money to Iran which will then use the money to build more weapons for Russia.
The migrant invasion is on Joe. His administration has blocked every attempt by the border states to stop the flow. He has used Executive Privilege to get lots of things done but mysteriously is not using it here.
As for spacex, the DOJ seems to be singling them out:
Critics have been quick to point out that the DOJ’s own hiring guidelines also prioritize the employment of U.S. citizens. The department’s careers page explicitly states that being a U.S. citizen is a requirement for many of its positions.
According to Alex Tabarrok, a professor at George Mason University, it’s common for industries that work closely with the military or deal with dual-use technologies to restrict jobs to U.S. citizens. This includes companies like SpaceX. While jobs that require security clearances are typically only available to U.S. citizens, many roles that don’t necessitate such clearances also specify U.S. citizenship as a requirement.
“Here, for example, is an ad for an
engineer at Northrup Grumman in aerospace structures that does not require security clearance but advertises US Citizen only. The U.S. military, of course, mandates citizenship or a green card for enlistment, a policy that is shared by another federal employer—can you guess? Surprise. The Department of Justice
