The
U.S. Air Force has announced that it is ordering AMRAAM missiles worth $1.15
billion from Raytheon Missiles and Defense to supply to Ukraine, the U.S. Department of Defense reported on June 20.
If your chief concern really is grain supply, maybe you should oppose the country who invaded the Breadbasket of Europe and is actively fucking with that supply.
If Ukraine continues on the expected path, then it will be as wealthy as Germany in a few decades. It has the resources and the human capital to do so, all it needs is peace and a bit of help to get started.
Unlike russia, which paid fuck all after WW2 lend-lease and stayed a shithole to this day.
Most of the hardware and financial aid is donated. As far as I know the Biden administration even expressly rejected a lend-lease program so there is no pressure for Ukraine to pay it back.
Investment is a fun thing. You give people your money, and then they spend it on things that allow them to make money. Then they take some of the money they’ve made, and pay back your money, with interest.

They are doing it every single day by blowing up Russian invaders. The payback is having a free democratic nation instead of enemy occupied territory.
The payback is also the destruction of Russia’s military.
Ukraine is basically providing a free service, the US (and rest of the world) is just paying for materials.
Most importantly, the US gets to see Russia destroyed without dead US soldiers or nuclear war.
Why do you want to destroy the Russian military? How many Ukrainian lives is enough for your entertainment?

Russia can end this war tomorrow by simply leaving Ukraine. Why does Russia continue to fuck with the grain supply?

Haha, good luck with that.

I’m sure we’ll draw up a Marshall Plan when its over.
