The US was spending approximately $40B p/a in military + humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
By comparison, the US was spending something like $200B each year for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. So $400B simultaneously.
1. The enemy in this war is a much clearer threat to the United States than Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
2. This war is pretty cheap to run. So why bother to pull out?
3. We are underspending, in comparison to the Russians, by about half.
A counter point is that if it's so cheap then Europe could pick up the tab. This is true so I don't particularly understand the screeching from continentals, but orange man saying things does that to them.
If I were in the White House and someone told me I could really annoy Chiner for not much money, and that Japan, Korea and some other Asians would match whatever I spend - why wouldn't I do it?
Is there really an obviously better use of this $40B?

It's not about the money.
If anything, it's either about Trump wanting a green light to do the same Russia did (maybe with Greenland or the Panama canal), or about trying to fuck China by partnering with Russia.

But the at same time, if US refuses to play this role of protecting allies – this will inevitably lead more countries to have nuclear weapons. Which, okay, the world won't be less safe if Japan or South Korea had one. But what if Turkey had one? What if Saudi Arabia had one? Which at the long term would be bad to everyone, including US. When in 2047 some terrorist group explode small nuclear weapon in New York that they stolen from Uganda.

> trying to fuck China by partnering with Russia.
This is the only reason to try and force a peace treaty I think. I suppose there may be hidden discussions we aren't privy to about China's capabilities which the US wants Russia to help counter.

I have to deboonk myself. Russia has spent about as much as Ukraine has on their side of the war. Other estimates include loss of economic activity as 'war costs' which isn't a fair direct comparison.
>>25537847
I suppose you're right. I think the war not being instantly won by Ukraine doesn't tickle the instant-gratification button in the Trumpian brain - so they shouldn't pay for it.

We can find millions of reasons on why they want peace but one of the main reasons - if not the most important one - is that the USA won't have a white/European majority soon.

the original deal was that both sides invest annually 40 billions in the war and bring their best weapon tech to the battlefield
the idea was that there's no point of doing full scale conflict, just do the test run and find out who will ultimately lose
wectern side lied about the amount of forces they bring in, grossly overinflated their spending by claiming they're paying the officials salaries, and still lost the war
now the choice is, whether wect would accept they've lost, or scale up the conflict, hoping for the miracle
all while no white men wants to fight for the wect, and they would much prefer to move to Russian refugee program, getting free 2,4 acres of land on term, that they should use it and they will own it in 5 years only if they've built a house or a business on that land
+2,4 acres extra for every group member, up to 10 people in a group
there are also preferential loans for basically state-funded business development
so their choice would be to move to Russia and work for allbeit flawed, but still white Christian nation, till the war ends, after which they can choose to stay or go, or die for nazi troons and nazi niggers, that tax them for the rain, because it can be used as a free shower

So by your logic (and the logic of neocons and democrats in america) is that we fund a war that ultimately kills millions and costs trillions so that we can weaken Russia while completely destabilizing the world and sending us all headlong into potential WWIII (I know I know, they won't do shit blah blah)
The alternative is that we try to end it. And you're arguing for the former.
I guess the best way to put it to you is that there is a large section of the USA population who aren't thirsty for blood and who disagree with Iraq, Vietnam, etc deep state wars that put lives in danger for petty regional power plays.
Of course there is a large section of the USA who agrees with you too. We consider those people evil.

What role do you think Russia plays in the international economy? If sanctions are dropped on Russia that's actually a GOOD thing for China since it'll result in more trade for them.
If you think Russians are going to significantly increase the import of F-150's or American soy and corn you're delusional.

Military spending typically has a multiplier effect though. For the average bumpkin in fly over country it's not necessarily the most regressive tax, Trump's tariffs are the opposite and actually increase prices in a way that result in decreased economic activity that will cause job losses.
