I don't know about you... But if my country were able to spend 75 billion dollars helping foreign countries, I'd sure hope they'd use some of it to solve problems here at home too...

US gets to do very real long term damage to a hostile nation without risking any American lives? All while gaining battlefield knowledge and liquidating aging munitions? Sounds like a great investment to me.

Yea, FUCK affordable health care and giving teachers proper wages

The funding for Ukraine is not the thing holding those things back. Republican regressive politicians are the thing holding those things back. We have plenty of money to do both.

Oh yeah? Are there any Democrats in power pushing to do those things? Or are they only pushing for more war. Neither party gives a shit about pay for teachers or healthcare. All they both want is more bombs and more death.
