For anyone's interested, as of Feb 23 2023 the total GDP spend of the US on supporting us (all expenses) is around 0.37%[0]. Arguably, far more damage to US and its economy was done through deep infiltration and billions of spend on destabilizing campaigns was done by ruskies. But, well, both the left and the right are too busy with self-inflicted inner turmoil and complete dismantling of Western values through what looks like a mass ritual of self-hate.
It is likely that current inadequate policy and political actions would be written into history books as cowardice precipitating a tragedy, because when the aid in the early stages of the war proved to be too good, the next tier of equipment required for southern counteroffensive was being constantly delayed, and blocked, giving ruskies a lot of time to make our south the most mined territory in the world, and when the equipment arrived, it was both too little and too late.
And now the support is being cut off entirely, with some EU countries (and UK!) left to patch the gaps where they can. On top of that, we are finding ourselves in what is effectively a blockade by our own neighbors through successful ruskie op done at crucial time of elections in Poland and openly pro-russian Hungarian govt.
Personally, I don't see much justice in the world in general, we shouldn't have given up nukes and I dream one day our government restarts the nuclear program because it is the only insurance policy left and I promise, everyone's taking notes. Say goodbye to nuclear non-proliferation, say hello to re-ignition of all frozen conflicts because sides realize that you can get away with anything as long as you have the military power, for the US and the West will do nothing but watch.
