This post made a lot of people angry, but the reply section is a fascinating dive into the most prevalent anti-Ukraine talking points:
• "Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"

"Our taxes shouldn't go to foreigners"
Good news, they're not!
Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90% is going to Americans.

CODEPINK is an explicitly pro-Assad, pro-Putin, and pro-CCP organization partially bankrolled by a pro-CCP millionaire, which the New York Times recently reported.
Pelosi was obviously referring to the New York Times report + the protesters were all white women. Be serious.
I don't think people understand that Pelosi (and many other members of Congress) are very aware of CODEPINK mostly by force because CODEPINK has been shoving themselves in members' faces for decades at this point.
Imagine you had none of this context watching that video of Pelosi — did anyone not stop to think for a second that it would be very weird and random for Pelosi to tell a bunch of old white women to go back to their HQ in China for no reason? Let's use critical thinking.
The website cites the leader of CAIR Minnesota saying "we don’t have two options. We have many options. And we’re going to exercise that."
