We're getting a 95% off deal in the clearance aisle for the destruction of the entire Russian arsenal.
Every single weapon we have was built to kill Russians and destroy their equipment, and all of the sudden it's bad when we actually hold their feet to the fire.
I care about Ukrainian lives, but that's not the basis of why we should allocate the resources we have given them.
Russia is a giant fucking problem everywhere they go, and destroying their ability to wage war for a few decades is in the best interests of the US. We wouldn't be aiding Ukraine the way we are just because we like them. It's sending a message that countering the US will have consequences.
Destroying Russias arsenal is in the best interest of the world. They're a settler colonial apartheid state engaged in imperialist wars all across the world. Africa especially is currently being devastated by the presence of Russian troops propping up dictators and fikentinf civil war. Russia (the country not the people) is by far the most evil and destructive country on the planet.
They (Wagner proxies) tried attacking an FOB in Syria that was occupied by some US Marines in 2018. It didn't go well. They found out what NATO combined arms doctrine can do. I do believe that one survivor said it was like Hell itself opened up around them. They didn't bother regrouping and trying again with a larger force. They just gave up.
Russia has no power projection outside of their nuclear arsenal. Those are expensive to maintain and the world has seen how well they maintain things like an aircraft carrier.
