[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 414296, member: 35"] There isn't a simple answer to your question because nobody involved cares about the Ukrainian people. They're sadly caught in a power play between the West and Russia. Sending billions in weaponry to Ukraine will not "get them out of this mess." All it will do is keep the war going indefinitely, which is exactly what the West wants. I don't like the idea of Putin or any ruthless leader being able to conquer another country's land, but indefinite wars are typically more costly in terms of money and bloodshed. Billionaire businessmen are certainly part of the problem, but the majority of US politicians are sadly in bed with the military industrial complex. Many US citizens are angry at their government for provoking this war, as well as using it as an opportunity to line their coffers. By the same token, they're also angry that they're forced to foot the bill. The US always has an abundance of money when it comes to funding wars, but they're always broke when it comes to helping people at home. The average American is sick of it. We're not heartless people who are indifferent to the suffering of Ukrainians, but it's by design that these wars are an endless money pit. As the saying goes, you've got to spend money to make (or steal) money. Similarly, the Iraq War was about stealing their oil (as Trump blurted out,) rather than "liberating" them. [/QUOTE]
