It is rare, but there are also articles in America that want the USA to deal with problems at home rather than pouring money into the war in Ukraine, which has a doubtful outcome. Among them was Ron Paul, who ran three times in the US presidential election and is the founder of the foreign policy think tank Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity.
At the beginning of his article on Mandiner, he refers to a video clip that shows President Biden speaking at a recent NATO summit about the seven billion dollars that the US government provided to Ukraine at the time.

The video of American cities is shocking: endless filth, garbage, homelessness, open fires in the streets, drug-addicted zombies. It doesn't look like the America most of us remember.
According to Ron Paul , all this characterizes American foreign policy in a nutshell , as Biden brags about sending billions of dollars to corrupt leaders overseas, while American cities look like bombed Iraq or Libya.

He also asks the question, do they really think that a working American in Ohio or Pennsylvania is better off or safer because we are supposed to be protecting the borders of Ukraine?
Last Friday, the Pentagon announced that another $775 million will be sent to Ukraine. As reported by Antiwar.com, this was the eighteenth arms package to Ukraine in six months. In this regard, the question arises for Ron Paul:
Has there ever been a more idiotic American intervention in history?
