    Your daily reminder that Zalushny said they would need 350 - 450 Billion to "liberate" Ukraine. Feeding them in drip increments is simply extending the war, and needlessly so, but this whole war was avoidable as a whole 🤦🏾‍♂️. Play stupid games, and now 500k Ukranian troops are dead.

      Don't forget that most of the money allocated to Ukraine actually ends up being spent in US. The whole thing makes a lot more sense when seen as a money laundering scheme that diverts taxes from things they're meant for back into the hands of the oligarchs.
