Ok, $46.6B in direct military assistance to Ukraine since the war started in 2022, which is...(checks notes)...2.9% of the US DoD budget for that time period. For this amount, we help Ukraine build ties to the west, and skulldrag Russia. Seems like good ROI to me.

I'm Brandon. I post under my real name, I find it helps me restrain my inner a-hole. I'm a political centrist, former Republican voter. That said, at this point in history, I'm much more worried about the far-right than the far-left. Welcome.
