Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was forced to come up with lend-lease, due to......Republicans who were at the time isolationists!

While the transactional nature of the upcoming minerals deal is unsavory, I think the dreadful and unfathomable issue is lying. Ukraine started the war??? Zelensky is a dictator??? The aligning of the US at the UN with Russia??? Something is very, very rotten. Like many others, I also am ashamed of the United States America.

Unfortunately for the cartoonist, if you dig down into the financial arrangements the UK accepted, it came to something close to it. Take a look at the Wikipedia article on the Anglo-American loan, which the UK accepted in 1946 because it was pretty much bankrupt.

Note your Representatives response. If one who has not answered is one of yours, demand that they answer that question as one of their constituents/bosses.
