With just 5% of annual military budget, US has been able to cripple 🇷🇺 army, while upholding int'l stability & sending a powerful message to would-be invaders. Hard to think of a better ROI, especially given that much of the aid is outdated equipment US looking to replace anyway. https://t.co/kb9uTbTIOU— Stand by Ukraine | Call Russia Initiative (@StandByUkraine) December 22, 2022
Look, instead of advocating the impoverishment of America and Americans, couldn’t you spend time helping to advance the further impoverishment of Germany and Germans? Give the Ukrainians the current inventory of German weapons, fuel and ammunition. Consider those gifts to be of obsolete materials and therefore of no cost to Germany.

The above is one of the best economy-of-words posts ever. Of course, the lion’s share of the credit goes to the young Ukrainian lads at the front lines who are willing to do their duty. Afghanistan got mega tonnages of military assistance. Ukraine actually uses theirs with courage and intrepid strategy and tactics.
