What do us taxpayers get? Besides the shaft.
๐บ๐ธ I cannot blame the current generation on FreeRepublic for being historically illiterate, as the system most have been brought up in deliberately wanted an insane, revisionist, and debased historical illiteracy, not unlike Joseph Stalin’s effort to rewrite modern world history to align with Global Marxist Communist objectives and goals.
*******
๐๐บ๐ธ As nearly every country has stipulated to Ukraine for all weapons purchases from the beginning, the US has also from the beginning openly required Ukraine weapons funding (= loans) from the US be used for the purchase of US weapon systems.
From 24 FEB 2022 to the end of SEP 2022, the US WEAPONS funding/loans to Ukraine has formally been APPROX $14.5 Billion Dollars.
As such, UAโs weapons purchases of $14.5 Billion dollars from US, have resulted in both DIRECT, and INDIRECT payments from Ukraine to either US defense companies, or from the Pentagon, which then replenishes itself with new purchases from the defense contractors.
AGAIN —
๐น๏ธ So $14.5 Billion Dollars in US WEAPONS FINANCING/LOANS to Ukraine since February 24, 2022 to the end of September 2022, has been $14.5 Billion Dollars which has go e to US Defense companies and the Pentagon, AS ARE the financing/loans to Ukraine from other countries.
*******
๐น๏ธ As such, the Ujited States is literally funding the *BACKFILL* of new weapons systems and R&D/development, and procurement of the US arsenal’s.
๐น๏ธ As well, the $14.5 Billion dollars in weapons loans to Ukraine, have been set up nearly the same to WWII’s US “Lend Lease” to Britain and Russia. (Albeit the US outright forgave CCCP’s massive “Lend Lease” war debt to the US.
Britain only more recently paid off it’s WWII war debt to the US.
Basic modern non-revisionist history here folks.
Countries around the world which have provided loans to Ukraine have stipulated the same for weapons funding.
๐น๏ธ Chinese and Iranian lending to Russia is ultimately the SAME, but have utilized more direct energy as a form of payment, which in Iranโs case has been sold at higher profits, often through Russian, Chinese, and Iranian NGOโs.
So while hate the fraudulent puppet anti-God/anti-liberty government we have, and t Bi eye are acting to morally weaken the entire DOD, IC, DOJ, etc...,
๐น๏ธ NO, the war in Ukraine is not weakening US weapons posture. ๐บ๐ธ๐

US taxpayers get a lot of real benefits:
(1) The money spent to build advanced military systems gets spent on salaries to the American workers who design and build these systems. All of America in machine shops, factories, and offices the money spent on these systems will go to Americans who will use it to buy guns or new cars, or improve their houses, or save for retirement.
(2) When other nations see how effective our military systems are they will want to buy them. That will increase the sales of our defense contractors and feed even more money to the Americans working in machine shops, factories, and offices that design and make these systems.
(3) Russia will be less of a threat. As their military is destroyed and everyone sees that their missile launches are less and less effective the risk of a greater war with Russia decreases. If Russia can be defeated by Ukraine NATO will be able to reduce its expenditures dramatically. That will save the US taxpayers money for generations.
Sounds like winning to me.
No shaft
The weapons are a good investment and cheap way to continue the obliteration of the. Russian military
