And lol, can you imagine if Trump was sending hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons to Russia? I’m betting you suddenly wouldn’t oppose stopping it because it’s “a useless gesture”
If you can’t understand why voting against things that only pretend to help without actually changing anything might be a good idea, there is no point in continuing to talk about it.

So, to be clear, you would support Trump sending billions of dollars worth of ‘defensive weapons’ to Russia?
Username checks out.
Yes which is why AOC should have voted for the amendment to not send weapons to Israel. That is kind of the point here.
Except that’s not what the amendment did, it only stopped some money for a portion of particular types of weapons.
Yes and AOC voted against that and said she did it because she supports sending weapons to Israel. Which is what she says in the tweet
I must have read a different tweet.
You read a tweet full of lies and deception the likes only MAGA normally publishes
This is some trickle down economics level of “being anti war”.
