You look at a company like MU, who beat earnings by 16 points, made a billion more in revenue than last years Q2, and hit all time record for earnings. It beat last Q by 45 points and Its down 40% for the year with a 5 forward PE. Market is broken.

As they saying goes $ doesn’t grow on trees.

So where is the $ coming from (out of) for the Ukraine?

Google has that as the top hit when you get to the last few words, yet no link I looked addresses that question. All of the links point to where it’s going, what it is (supposedly) being used for and how it compares to the other significant parts of Federal aid.

I’m not intending to debate the war, literally just want to know, are they “printing” $ or is it being taken from other pledges/projects etc.?

All money is printed out of thin air.  Always.

I'd think a discussion of Ukraine would be interesting, but perhaps you could start a separate thread where we could discuss that. 

I will tease this.  I think every dollar we can beg, borrow, or steal to pump into to Ukraine is the best value we could hope for if it ends in more dead Russians.
We are at war with Russia.  It's just not publicly acknowledged yet. Like the WWII "Phony War".    The next phase is going to be US youngsters getting shot at in NATO countries.  For as long as we can (and this sounds cruel), I'd prefer to expend US dollars and let the Ukrainians fight for us in a proxy war while we gear up for the real fight (i.e.  Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania).  That's money well spent IMHO, it buys time while we shift to a war-time footing.       

Ukraine isn't the end goal.  It is the corridor they need to clear to access Poland.

"We" are not at war with Russia. The NWO is at war with Russia, after the US sold them uranium. What a shocker. The NWO did it to themselves thinking they could use Ukraine for its bidding, and the Ukrainian people paid the price. Its unfortunate, but don't pretend like Putin wasnt warning them for atleast the last 7 years or so.

The US government could have caused there to be no war in Ukraine.  Instead, it took actions that made it more likely to have war.

Who benefits from that?  Not the plebeians.

So what are the reasons?  Ineptitude?  Or on purpose for the benefit of groups other than the plebeians?  Maybe both?

My wife is pole/Uke/Russian depending on the time frame with a little chek thrown in for good measure and still have family over there that have been displaced.

She asked why Russia would want to go to Poland as there nothing but polocks there…. :devil

We were in contact with family there and they said both sides are lying and then asked if we had heard about the rapes and other atrocities that were happening.  Unfortunately we haven’t been able to contact them these past few weeks as they’ve moved/exiled to another country and have to wait until they try to contact us which Imsuspect is a low priority ATM.

2016 - 2019 seem like paradise compared to the last 18 months...

What's the difference?

Thought we weren't going into the latest distraction from the crumbling economy in this thread?

I wasn't the one to introduce Ukraine into this thread.  Start another one and I'll join you there.

[Edit]

I moved my response to a separate thread.  It would be better to continue this topic there.
