We’ve spent Trillions to counter Russia overvthe decades.
To support Ukraine in a proxy war that weakens, destabilizes or destroys Russia where no American soldiers die and we get to test out our arsenal in a real world scenario is a worthwhile investment not to mention the moral and humanitarian aspect.
Do we have problems at home? Yes but that’s never been a good enough reason to reduce military spending.
I do think the military budget is out of control and more money should be appropriated to the issues that matter like healthcare but at this moment in time we should absolutely continue to support Ukraine.
We are the world leaders and other countries follow. We can’t let our support erode. We can’t let Russia win this one.
Not a fan of Team America world police but crippling Russia with a small percentage of our defense budget is a pretty good deal in geopolitics.
This isn't team America world police. This is team America, international arms dealer.
Which may or may not be better, depending on your outlook.
