War funding

American journalist Even Gershkovich is in a Russian prison and has received a great deal of news coverage here in the United States. Gonzalo Lira, an American journalist was imprisoned in Ukraine after allegedly spreading Russian propaganda which violated his bail conditions has died in jail. Mr. Lira sent out a video which was posted on Twitter saying that the US State Department knows of his situation and predicted that if sent back to jail he would die there but nothing was done to help him. It is difficult to find any news about Mr. Lira. Nothing on the major networks. The war is between a corrupt autocracy and a corrupt democracy. President Biden has been given a way out of this war. The republicans are tying any future money to Ukraine based on closing the southern border but Biden is not interested so Biden can say that the republicans refused to fund the Ukraine war so the US had to pull out support. It couldn't come at a better time since the American people are slowly coming to realize that this war was a mistake from the start. According to a Gallup Poll taken in November of 2023 American views about support for Ukraine have shifted. 41% believe that the US is doing too much while 33% say its about right. 55% of Americans to not think that Congress should authorize more funding for Ukraine. Some feel that there are no winners in this war but some suggest that US defense contractors are winners.
