Dramatic events unfolding in Washington DC have put the future of US aid to Ukraine in jeopardy, with hardline Republicans insisting their country simply can’t afford to keep funding Kyiv’s fight against Russia’s full-scale invasion.

But the argument that the US is simply writing “blank checks” and handing over bags of cash to Ukraine is both simplistic and incorrect.

As the German Marshall Fund (GMF), a US think tank, wrote recently: “US military support for Ukraine is helping put American industry back on track.”

GMF added: “The numbers suggest that sustained support is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people. A large portion of the money designated for Ukraine is being reinvested at home, bolstering the defense industry and sustaining American manufacturing jobs.

2. The US economy is structured around

a never-ending war.. and has been since 1940.

No-one should be surprised by the above OP.

3. If reducing aid to Ukraine limits profits to the Military Industrial Complex the MIC lobby will

talk to the Congress to "fix it" Thats what they pay for, right? Influence to make profit...
