We have borrowed to date $200 billion and Europe about the same to send to Ukraine. Zelensky estimates it will take $800 billion to rebuild what was before the war one of the poorest and most corrupt countries on the continent.

Ukraine is a gold mine for special interests and Ukrainian oligarchs. For the US taxpayer, it is a bottomless pit.

“Oh, so we’re drifting towards war not altruistic reasons for but for economic reasons. Good to know.”

**************

Economics won’t matter much after the nukes start flying. Just saying.

[sport]

Oh, the nukes will be flying if the Biden Worshipers and Neo Cons get their way. And they will, it may take a while, but they will get there. Day by day, inch by inch, second by second we are being guided by them to that point in time. Count on it.

His grift money will dry up. Keep the war going!

None are so blind

“we no longer have an industrial base that can even resupply the artillery shells Ukraine uses”

I think that’s changed since the phrase first appeared here. at FR.

[Does so]

Ukraine, holder of 5% of the world’s supply, exports most of its raw titanium, iron, gallium, manganese,zirconium, germanium, coal and lithium to China.

...and sits on the largest gas supply in Europe—still largely unexploited.

The US can artificially manufacture titanium, but it’s a drop-by-drop process: nowhere near enough to make our submarines as strong as Russia’s, and to operate at formerly unachievable depths.

Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive America of access to vast mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says

Lord, please take this evil man home, amen.

[piasa]

The Russians see it the same way, only they don’t want to trade for what they can simply take by force of arms, like they are doing in Sudan...

[piasa]

So have the Russians.

And even Iran’s got a finger in there.

[piasa]

Don’t forget maple syrup!

[piasa]

Deport them to Russia and China

[piasa]

Well...he is right. Except the Russians aren’t stupid, they won’t share it, they might sell it, in exchange for all that technology we let the Chinese steal from us.

[Vigilanteman]

It certainly was a gold mine for the Biden Crime Family, the Globalists and the Military Industrial Complex.

[Navy Patriot]

Harsh, but accurate regarding Linda Grahamnesty, ... and your Homo Zelensky certainly has been "in" your Homo Lindsey and probably visa versa.

Justa lettin' you know!

[Navy Patriot]

Putin an existential threat to Euro-sodomy !

True and Nicely Put!

[Justa]

This:

Is worse than this:

You got severe issues if you're more concerned about politicians than the destruction of cities.

[Navy Patriot]

Says you.

Destroy certain Politicians, save the cities.

You certainly have severe issues if you can't figure that out.

[citizen]

If there’s an R senator (supposedly) that I trust the least, it’s probably Graham.

[Colorado Doug]

Ukraine is a gold mine, alright...for US politicians, not for minerals.

bingo!
