The article doesn't mention that a lot of this is Lend Lease and Ukraine will eventually have to pay the money back to the US.
Lend-lease ultimately brought the British Empire to its knees. The UK's lend-lease debt is still on the books today, nearly eighty years later.
Ukraine, being the worst performing country economically from 1991 onwards, has absolutely no chance to ever pay off this debt. The country is already being divided up by Blackrock to milk for what little more it has to give.
Oh, so they're being enslaved?
Indebted would be the accurate word.
You think they should get things for free? If you want a 500000$ missile, you better be able to pay for it. Wishes and thanks don’t pay the bills or put food on the table.
I’m all for removing idiotic export restrictions to Ukraine, they should be able to purchase anything they need, but if they don’t want to pay, that’s theft.
unless youre willing to provide billions for free ffs 🙄
