The answer of course is in the US military-industrial complex, as Eisenhower warned 70 years ago. The bizarre element in the current situation is that it is the US that is paying itself for it. The chance that Ukraine will contribute a cent is below zero.

It seems that the one line no one in DC crosses is that of the military industrial complex. This is the one thing that even the most extreme on the left or the right end up agreeing on. Curious to see if the Republican grow any cajones after January and stop funding Ukraine.
I wouldnt say the American people........ but some of the American politicians do, along with their buddies in the weapons business.

These suppliers of military arms are also among the largest lobbying groups in the country.
👀 I work or worked for three of those US companies at one point or another.

Might as well sell them off, if a war breaks out we're not going to have enough fuel to run them anyway.

i give this top post a greater than 50-50 probability of originating from a state sponsored social media troll in Russia.

@SusanInFlorida that's the official wisdom from the Dems and the GOP.

@SusanInFlorida You don't dispute the facts? SIPRI is a highly regarded Swedish Institute for peace studies. Its research is first class, and this is merely a continuation of statistics they have been producing for years. Does it matter who posted it if the facts it contains are correct. I suspect your bias persuades you that anything vaguely anti American or anti its unfortunate commitment to the Ukrainian kleptocracy must be a Russian troll. Go to
