The neo isolationists whine about spending American $$$.
Being economically challenged, the neo isolationists can’t differentiate between expense and investment.
America and other NATO nations are investing in Ukraine. The investments will yield dividends in the form of a permanently weakened and debilitated Mother Russia.
Terrible “investment” if I ever saw one. Worse than investing in even Afghanistan.
I look at it as having attributes of both an investment and insurance.
I’ll bet Germany and several other EU countries would really like to see those Ukie gas fields opened up in competition with Russia, too. That’d actually be good for us, too, indirectly. Contrary to some tinfoil theories running amuck, a strong Europe has more benefit to the US (esp. under a Trump level-field trade scenario) than detriment.
