$300 Billion Given to Ukraine?

$300 Billion GIVEN to Ukraine amounts to $1,000.00 for every man, woman and child in America, or $2,500.00 for every American federal taxpayer (not all Americans pay federal taxes).

After insulting America, Zelensky then went to London and signed a LOAN agreement for $3 Billion with the UK.

Of course, the only way that the UK can hope to get their money back is by ridding Ukraine of the Russian menace. And of course the UK will expect the US to bear the lion's share of the cost and effort. And if Ukraine does eventually wear Russia down the UK may get that $3 Billion back, and the US will get ... the middle finger.

It’s not like we sent them palates of money…that was spent right here in the US on the equipment we sent them, which keeps thousands employed and helps our economy. Just sayin’ 🤷‍♂

@Zaphod42 he’s ignoring those truths.

The actual figure is $175bn, 70% of which was spent within the USA.

But don’t let facts get in the way of their delusions. Sometimes better to leave them to it…

@Zaphod42

(rolling eyes) The excuse that the weapons are made in the US and the money spent here is a bit shallow. It's kind of like saying that bank robbery isn't so bad because the robbers will spend they money they take in the local community :)

There's a whole other side of this when considering opportunity cost. Like how much of our economy is now based on military weaponry for someone else? Like what else could all those skilled military industrial workers be doing? How about repairing our crumbling infrastructure? Or high speed rail? Maybe make US manufacturing competitive again?
