From lib-talk.com...

America and its allies spent Trillions of dollars over a few decades fighting the cold war. Now the Ukrainians are willing to spill their blood to fight that last war and all they ask is that we spend a relatively small amount money on weapons for them to fight with. They are bleeding the Russians white. They are fighting what could be the last battle of the cold war if we help them. ... Otherwise, there are likely to be American boots on the ground before long.

... And many of the Republican don't seem to want to support them... Reagan would whack the Putin Puppets upside the head with a champagne bottle.

.

Much of America's arsenal was built up to counter the Russians during the cold war. Now it is being used on the Russians anyway even if it is the Ukrainians who are doing the shooting.

The United States and other NATO countries have gotten a treasure trove of information about Russian capabilities: quality of equipment, will to fight on foreign soil, stability of military leadership, quality of tactics. The information gotten from Russian military equipment in real combat, is invaluable. Especially because the Chinese use mostly either direct Russian equipment or a copied Chinese version.

All this info will save NATO 10 times that cost over the next couple of decades. This is a tremendous investment for the U.S., even if it wasn't the right thing to do ethically, purely from a monetary standpoint, this is a slam dunk investment and now it applies to drone warfare as well. What the US will learn from Ukraine is priceless.
