HomeUkraineThose complaining about the taxpayers’ money being spent on weapons for Ukraine should keep in mind that most of those weapons are returned to the US economy as payments for weapons and equipment, which are produced by American companies

Very little money even goes to Ukraine. It goes directly to the companies, and the weapons are delivered to Ukraine.
US has previously practiced lend-lease, and I’m surprised if Ukraine receives aid without ever returning the favor. It’s more likely that Ukraine will be paying the loans for a while. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, but US will get the payment one way or another.
It’s also good to note that potentially without this aid Russia goes unchecked and we are a stone throw away from a NATO/US involved war with boots on the ground. Which almost certainly means poor diggers like me in Australia will have to fly to A bumfuck shit hole in the mountains to star chinning russian cunts, Instead if watching footy and drinking cans.
The coin is well spent imo. Would people rather billions in arms or tens of thousands folded flags given to families from dozens of nations?
The government is just moving money from the US taxpayer’s pocket, into the pockets of the defense industry, then moves money back into the US taxpayer’s pocket. $1.00 turns into $0.50 which is turned into $0.01. Ukraine wins. The defense industry wins. The US taxpayer loses.
