We keep hearing about how much this war is costing Russia, well so far it has cost US taxpayers well in excess of $53 billion. We're the losers here... again.
Agreed. This is a European issue and Europe needs to settle it and fund it. Not one dime of our $$$ should go there. The only thing Ukraine produces that is important is grain and we are paying farmers to keep millions of acres of farm land out of production. Plow that and plant it and Ukraine becomes inconsequential to us and we can export grain to the nations that have been dependent on Ukraine. So rather than spending $$$ we should be making $$$ off this.
