The Geopolitics of Ukraine Aid
from Typhoon Bearing · host Chase Dalton
Why are we giving money and weapons to Ukraine? In light of the recent news that 48% of Americans think we are giving too much money to Ukraine, I discuss why, in fact, Ukraine aid is the single most cost-effective American foreign policy win since (at least) the end of the Cold War for a whole bunch of reasons: Aid to Ukraine allows the united States to focus on China. It destroys Russia's military for $0.10 on the dollar with zero American lives lost. It revitalizes our defense industrial base while long term hurting Russia’s. It is the morally right thing to do. It shows our allies we will support them in time of need. ...and we can easily can afford it.
