It's never been about the money.
The Republicans and their grifters want Putin to win. It's just that simple.

And they want more tax cuts (until barely anything can be funded).
It looks to me like this war is pretty cheap on both American lives, and on the American taxpayers' pocketbook.
And pretty profitable for the military complex which finally is used for a good cause. Didn't these republicans receive their yearly lobby cheque?

"The war is cheap in terms of American lives" is a right wing, nationalist sentiment. "American" lives dont have any more value than any other lives.
Sure, but the American government's entire point is to collect American taxes and provide benefits for Americans. To minimize monetary cost and maximize benefit to American lives is exactly what it should be doing.
Wait, are you telling me that nations are oriented around nationalism?
This is why I'm for stateless global communism

Your current crop of Republicans don't really care about the US or American values - they want to live in a Margret Attwood novel.
The war is cheap in all terms (expect Ukrainian's). I believe most of the dollar numbers you see includes equipment value when they were going to be scrapped anyway. The accountants have to give it a fair dollar value, but in practical terms it's zero.
Any Republican against giving aid to Ukraine is essentially a Russian asset.
You spelled ass-hat wrong
It's the same picture
One has to be a truly deplorable piece of human garbage to say “The war is cheap in terms of American lives”. This is basically an admission that Americans don't give a fuck about the lives of Ukrainians and re cynically using them as a proxy to fight Russia. Americans continue to expose themselves as the scum of the earth that they are.

Crazy idea, how about we have a few years where we aren't involved in some war?
Wouldn't it be nice if all these tyrants like Putin would just stay in their own homes...?
If only it were that simple to look the other way from your neighbor getting attacked and raped.
As if such persons ever stop after their first successful house...
Oh man, maybe if there was some agreeement between Russia and Ukraine that avoided war, it could even be negotiated in a third country, maybe in Minsk? That could have been a great way to avoid war, too bad nothing like that happened. Imagine if NATO even broke such treaty? Would be too far fetched even Call of Duty haha
