I’ll go down that path. The citizens of Texas defeated the Mexican army during a time that they were stretched thin due to several regional civil unrest issues and won their freedom at the battle of San Jacinto. The United States didn’t invade Texas under the guise of “defending the Texans from Mexican genocide tactics” and attack Mexico. The individuals you listed were not representatives of the US government but I know you’re absolutely gonna jump the shark claiming they were. It’s what you do after allNow wait, Texas was Mexican at one time. Are you sure that is the path you want to go down? WTF were Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie doing over there?
Good news. We are funding small businesses and subsidizing salaries
Appropriately, the 60 Minutes episode invoked memory of the late John McCain...
In total, America's pumped nearly $25 billion of non-military aid into Ukraine's economy since the invasion began – and you can see it working at the bustling farmers market on John McCain Street in central Kyiv.
The late senator is revered in Ukraine because he pushed the U.S. government to start sending arms to the country... back in 2014.
Lol, it's a literal direct quote from their report.

There's nothing stopping you from pursuing a definition from the OIG that alleviates the substantial amount of butthurt that you've put on display concerning the issue.
You just posting the same vague BS. You know why the .gov uses percentages and vague terms like substantial? So people like you won’t question the real numbers.
When you say "remain neutral," do you mean siding with Russia over the all others prior to the invasion or surrendering immediately upon the invasion?The best thing for Ukraine was to remain neutral. They eff'ed that up. Did Russia mistreat the Ukrainian region at times in it's history? Sure. Did the US mistreat the south at times in it's history? Sure. China? Same. Welcome to the complicated history of large Countries. In your list of mistreatment, you failed to list the West's mistreatment of proxies like Ukraine, over the last 40-60 years.
Bottom line, the West destroyed what was Ukraine and when given ample opportunities to avoid this outcome, the West ignored them. Why? Because the West was advancing THEIR agenda, not Ukraine's. The West was looking out for THEIR best interest, not Ukraine's.
He meant 3 days.I stand by what I said. Trump is a pile of human excrement. It's absolutely possible, albeit improbable. Your inability to understand the distinction and difference and you thinking it's some sort of zing to keep trotting it out demonstrates how dumb you really are.
Franky given gems like "Russia is stronger now than 1.5 years ago" is all anyone really needs to know to get a measure of your intellect.
I have tried and can’t find their definition. Since you’re a true believer I thought you might be able to help.

Regarding the Cook Islands, it remains that the US is still far behind China in establishing formal ties. China along with over 50 other countries have already long recognized it. Cook Islands has long had a "free association" arrangement with New Zealand, and most of its residents maintain New Zealand citizenship.
Given US recognition is very belatedly coming at a moment of simmering tensions and a low-point for US-China relations, Beijing is likely to see Biden's announcement as yet more geopolitical maneuvering for influence in the region, aimed at thwarting China alignment among small nations.
