It's scathing because for seven months, Congress has shipped the American people's money, some $65 billion (and counting), to Ukraine – money that could have gone to disaster relief or even (perish the thought!) returned to taxpayers.

In July, after four months of support for Ukraine and when the total was "only" $54 BILLION, that figure accounted for more than what U.S. taxpayers paid for the first five years of the Afghan conflict.

Just last week, when Congress passed its Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded through mid-December, they included $12 BILLION in new aid to Ukraine.

So as The Fed recklessly prints more and more money, I have to ask:

What has this $65 billion gotten us – and when will it end?

Never since the Cold War have we been so close to nuclear war. The thought is terrifying.

This is a conflict that could make Iraq and Afghanistan pale in comparison. Unlike those countries, Russia has an enormous military and a nuclear arsenal. Their allies are not insignificant, either.

Whatever hope for peace there was in the early months of the conflict has been eclipsed by months of escalation, with no end in sight.
