https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts This article is pretty good at showing the OBSCENE amount of US Aid given to Ukraine. It EASILY surpasses the money we gave to Taiwan, Pakistan and Latin America during the 60s. We’ve given more money to Ukraine in 2 years than the entire state of Virginia’s annual budget. 61% of the US Aid is directly related to military training, weapons and building bases. Great info in this article I highly recommend it.

I suspect they seem see them more as laws of nature than obligations.

In Danish we have an idiom which says “der er intet der er så skidt, at det ikke er godt for noget” which roughly translates to “there’s nothing that’s so bad it isn’t good for anything”

Only the end of capitalism through socialism will war ever not be the primary focus of the ruling class.
