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.
FDR and Churchill were between rocks and hard places. Sadly, most Americans were at best reluctant anti semites if not all out Jew haters. After all, the Nazis came to America to learn how to be racists. Lindbergh was decrying America and going to Germany to support their Nazi rise. There were legions of Americans wearing silver shirts (color not well remembered, I think Germany had the browns and fascist Italy had the blacks so maybe America had the silver). There were Nazis influencing the U.S. Senate helping senators create propaganda and send it out via senate mail post on tax dollar dimes. FBI were investigating and senators were frightened enough to leave notes in their offices only to fall out of the sky in airplanes. Yes. People. We are here. Do something. America is the enemy thanks to the orange turd. We will all be Dietrich Bonhoeffer and be killed days before the downfall of the orange Mussolini if we do not strike back with precision. Support Ukraine, vote for democrats, support democrats who you can’t vote for. This is serious. Wake up. As my mother said, use your damn brain.
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.
Agree with the sentiment, but FDR was forced to come up with lend-lease, due to......Republicans who were at the time isolationists!

Winston would have replied, “close but no cigar.”
