I dont disagree with your general premise.


But if you think 50 or even 200 billion to ukraine is what has financially crippled this country then you might need to do some more searching cause you lost the thread.

You’re right, but it certainly has not helped matters printing more money and driving the dollar into the garbage even further. It’s funny though how almost a quarter trillion of this country’s tax payer dollars is laughed off, not just in the amount, but in the fact that it’s our money entrusted to our government to provide for our infrastructure and needs rather than Ukraines.

BUT be that as it is. This country’s NUTS and keeps on taking it because I suppose it’s conditioned to take it now.

The initial question still stands. Will losing an American city be worth supporting Ukraine in lieu of brokering a peace deal instead?

That's also ignoring that most of the aid isn't in actual dollars but an accounting of all the equipment we're sending over that was sitting idle and/or mothballed anyway.

We're shipping older gen tech over to expose Russia's military as weak and at the same time backfilling our arsenal with new shite. Money that will mostly stay within the borders of this country. Sure, it's to the military industrial complex and some of that money will be skimmed and grifted but most of it will go to American citizens working for those companies and their suppliers that produce our military equipment.
