    Isn’t what they’re sent weapons of that “value” and not actually that money?

    Pretty sure.

      It’s still money wasted. If US subsidized cars/homes instead of bombs, people get cars/homes. “Forcing” Russia to expand military production so rapidly is going to force us to spend more on bombs too. Russian GDP growth is higher than US even after inflation/currency drop, because everyone has a high paying job due to alternative of military enlistment and weapons production. The US following suit would also drive inflation and crowding out employment from “useful sectors”

      Global prosperity is necessarily higher at peace. Supporting what is possibly the most evil war in history, with such extreme mind control for programming tolerance for it, shows imminent collapse of world order and US empire.
