    Healthcare is broken, agreed. But All the aid being sent to Ukraine will absolutely be reflected in the 2023-24 military budget, where it will be multiplied 2-3 fold. It’s not free, it’s not a “good value” it is absoltuely a waste of resources and it is only being spent to make the war-pigs at lockhead martin, and the other MIC richer.

    Make no mistake, if you support the US spending more money on Ukraine, you 100% support Imperialism.

      Aw yes, the imperialism is when US do stuff abroad. That’s why when an hyper capitalist dictator invades and annexes its democratic neighbor for resources and land under the justification that said nation used to be part of its empire, it’s the US that’s being imperialisitc by not letting the dictator add to his imperial empire.

      This makes sense. This line of reasoning makes sense.

      As to the other thing, you realize that the US defense budget had gone down the last two years right? That these aid packages are explicitly labeled in the cost to replace with modern weapons, even if they were going to be replaced anyway, so i don’t see how it will suddenly be multiplied two to three fold.
