The destruction of the Russian military without the loss of a single U.S. soldier is easily worth a fraction of what we normally spend on our own defense budget each year.
For those who want the burden of NATO reduced, this is perfect. The rest of NATO is increasing their defense budgets in response to Russian aggression, and the Russian military itself will be far less capable of aggression by the time this war is over. That will enable us to reduce our presence in Europe, and let the Europeans handle more of that responsibility.
At the same time, we will have strengthened our position to build a coalition should China, Iran, or anyone else decide that military expansion is a good thing. Allies will have seen us stand up to Russia, seen how much superior our military equipment is, and be more inclined to join us in collective defense.
That's a lot to gain for simply providing weapons to Ukraine.

Bingo. Russia is bleeding out, and it's at a much higher rate than it was during their ten years in Afghanistan (and they started that war as well). Despite all the pee-pants whining and lying that we see around here from the Putinistas, there are no US boots on the ground in Ukraine, and NATO and the US has spent relatively little money.

Yup, the Russians still embrace their communist heroes.

“The horror of statues I disagree with!!!!”
You’re naiive. Russia is honoring its communist past, a past that caused the deaths of millions of people.
I guess you’re okay with that.

How about a statue of Stepan Bandera? Would you be okay with that since you’re a champion of unpopular statues?

Melitopol can become a sister city to Seattle.
There is a funny German movie, Good-bye, Lenin, about the end of Communism in East Germany. One scene has a giant statue of Lenin being carried through the air by a crane.
To: aMorePerfectUnion
No, you missed your point when you support a regime that thinks Communist scum like Lenin deserve to be memorialized.
