    60 billion is a drop in the bucket, the majority of which isn’t cash, it’s equipment that’s been sitting and is no longer being used. That 60 billion is put back into our own economy because it means jobs are being made to replace said equipment. It’s a win win for both sides. We’re also the richest country on the planet, we have plenty to do what we need to here at home, but it’s not getting done because of Ukraine, it’s not getting done because we have politicians who are beholden to the rich oligarchs here.

        No, Ukraine’s survival is not good for American oligarchs and nowhere in the comment you’re responding to was that even vaguely implied

          Sinking Ukraine in endless debt that they default on so it will be swept up by the oligarchy is good for American oligarchs.

            Yes, we should let them be swept up by Russia, which has a far worse corruption and oligarchy problem, instead.
