Lend-Lease is coming back. On Wednesday, the Senate unanimously passed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022.

Russia signed the Budapest Agreement which acknowledges that Ukraine is a sovereign nation and Russia agreed to “respect Ukraine borders”.
There’s nothing stopping us from “respecting Ukraine’s borders” per the signed agreement and send in our own supplies and troops and whatnot. Russia has shown a military weakness in their operation, so we would be able to mop it up and help “assure” Ukraine’s borders per that agreement.
My perspective is that if we ever send US boots on the ground, then I would expect a strong Lend Lease agreement in place, wherein we build emBASEees to fight all that terrorism going on in the region.
