    So hold on, no troops in Ukraine, because they’re not NATO, but troops in Israel no problem?

    Or is it because US is scared shitless of Putin? Or is it because a lot of prople sympathise eith Putin?

    Maybe there’s no profit in aiding Ukraine?

      We have a top secret base there, just like Korea and Vietnam early troops usually come in and break shit you can’t let go.

      No it’s because Russia is preoccupied and we’re testing near peer weapons from 3+decades ago there with little to no risk to mainland usa. It’s morally wrong sure but it does at least make sense.

      I mean sorta but not really, we’re selling most stuff at a loss. The benefit is really seeing how well our stuff works against the enemy or was designed to fight. Don’t get me wrong people are getting rich but that’s from buying more weapons to replace the ones we sold.

      If Putin didn’t have the nuclear card in his pocket US boots would have been on the ground in Ukraine 2 years ago.
