No. You stop it. I’ve been fleeced like every other American by that little Ukrainian bisexual who has been given billions of our tax dollars and the guy is always demanding more!

“fleeced”?

How? Because the US has given Ukraine a mass of obsolete military junk? Even the ATACMs they just got are almost 30 years old.

And in the meantime the US has gotten invaluable real-life R&D that wouldnt be possible otherwise. The hardest thing in peacetime is anticipating what the next war will be like. Militaries tend to get solipsistic.

The dangers and opportunities of Naval drones. The first large scale (truly massive) implementation of aerial drones. The military use of Starlink and similar universal satellite internet. The next time the US has to unblock the straits of Hormuz you will thank Ukraine. Or, perhaps, if the US has to break a Chinese blockade of Taiwan.

Perspective is a difficult state to achieve.
