Are you kidding? Russia is collapsing. All the "aid" is actually just military R+D dollars and probably exhorbitant defense contractor pork under a different account. Reminder: the defense budget is almost a trillion dollars, so 75 billion is chump change for some of the most effective battlefield weapons development and tactical strategy development ever. Normally we just waste a half trillion dollars of the defense budget on this with no real guarantees to efficacy of the weapons system procurements. Just look at the Iraq / Afghanistan war costs, and how little we got out of that geopolitically. Now look at what we are getting from Ukraine for a paltry ... 1/100th of the cost? maybe less? This is the cheapest most effective proxy war possibly in history. The second effect of this has been to make China seriously reconsider an invasion of Taiwan. The third effect is the worldwide acceleration towards EVs and alternative energy. The fourth effect is to create a stable democracy right on Russia's doorstep. There are very few US budgetary expenditures I can point to that would be more productive that what we are doing in Ukraine. Edit: fifth: we committed to defending Ukraine as part of nuclear disarmament/anti-proliferation: we told ukraine: we will defend you if you surrender your nuclear weapons, https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/05/science/ukraine-nuclear-weapons.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/05/science/ukraine-nuclear-w... SO defending Ukraine is critical to nuclear disarmament/proliferation, such that the notion still exists.
