Money for Ukraine.

[Woodznutz]

The media and the government would have you believe that we are sending $Billions to Ukraine.

How much money has the US given to Ukraine?

A year into the conflict, some are wondering where the money goes - and if the aid is worth the cost.

Actually, we are sending weapons, ammunition, and other aid to Ukraine. The money stays here.

Just wanted to clear that up.

America's military leaders will consider that the breaking up of Russia is a good investment for America in the long run.

It can be of no benefit for the remaining Ukrainians.

Jes' wanted to clear that up.

I never thought it was stacks of greenbacks, but as you said "weapons, ammunition, and other supplies to Ukraine".

It's great for some sectors of our economy (war usually is).

The money stays here. The supplies it produces goes to Ukraine.

Lots of Americans are finding employment here supplying Ukraine.

Don't GAF....It's still all a grift for Reytheon, Boeing, et. al.

Sad, but true. Ike made valid warnings, leaving office.

More broken windows.

It's economic idiocy to be spending as much as we are, when we have so many problems we need to worry about here. Russia has spent $9 trillion on their war so far, in spite of the sanctions against them. We're playing a game of "Let's see who can go bankrupt first."

So we destroy Russia's economy, ok. What are the effects that's going to have on the global markets, at a time when we have high inflation and energy instability?

OP is invoking the stale old Keynesian "broken window" fable....

As long as there are wars, we should be major players.

Hasn't our education system prepared us for this?

Bullshit. Maintenance and repair are vital to any economy.

 

[Oddball]

Bullshit.

No bullshit, Sparky....This war spending is what we call "miscalculation of funds"....The money being wasted on war would otherwise be saved or invested/spent on peaceful production of goods and services.

That's the way the world works.

It just sounds like a dangerous thing to do at this time. Collapsing another country's economy could have some pretty serious global consequences. I have no love for Russian but they do supply much of the world with food and oil. So what happens to those countries who are dependent on them for resources? They starve, which means more political unrest in the world. This whole thing wouldn't have happened under Trump.

The article clearly says that the US payed 26,73 billion USD to Ukraine as financial aid.
