British economist Timothy Ash told Newsweek that America sending aid to the war in Ukraine is "an incredibly cost-effective investment. "

The U.S. giving financial aid to Ukraine is an "incredible" investment for the country, as Washington is spending "peanuts" for what, economist Timothy Ash told
Newsweek, would eventually produce wins "at almost every level" if Russia is defeated.
Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24,
Congress passed a
spending bill worth $13.6 billion in aid to Ukrainians and, in
May, the Senate approved nearly $40 billion in additional support—a major package including military, economic and humanitarian assistance.
"These sums pale into insignificance when set against a total
U.S. defense budget of $715 billion for 2022,"
wrote Ash in an article published on the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA).
"The assistance represents 5.6 percent of total U.S. defense spending. But Russia is a primary adversary of the U.S., a top tier rival not too far behind China, its number one strategic challenger. In cold, geopolitical terms, this war provides a prime opportunity for the US to erode and degrade Russia's conventional defense capability, with no boots on the ground and little risk to U.S. lives."
that's an interesting read ^
wasn't thinking about mandrágora, haha.
and basically started this shit by dumping billions into Ukraine and staging a coup so they can have their oil and royally fuck Russia back into the stone age.
