Funding of Ukraine in their war vs. Israel is totally DIFFERENT!

 via Real Clear Defense

So what does comparing these numbers tell us? In Israel, we are supporting a military operation. 74% of the proposed support to Israel flows through the Defense Department, and 100% of the International Assistance Program funding is for foreign military financing. In Ukraine, however, we are supporting a nation. 66% of the proposed support to Ukraine flows through the Defense Department, and only 8% of the International Assistance Program funding is for foreign military financing. The majority of the International Assistance Program funding to Ukraine is for an Economic Support Fund.

The debates over supporting Ukraine and Israel are necessary and important. But, as the President’s budget request confirms, the difference between funding Israel and Ukraine is not a difference in degree but a difference in kind. In order to properly debate each conflict, we cannot debate them together.

Here 

I've been shouting this from the rooftops.

With Israel we ARE supporting a war effort.

With Ukraine we ARE and HAVE BEEN supporting an entire nation!

Zelensky doesn't govern a nation.  He governs a welfare state. For all intents and purposes Ukraine as a nation no longer exists. They are a failed nation in the heart of Europe.

The current war is bad.

The aftermath will be worse.

The stunning thing?  Winning this war could bankrupt either the EU/US or Russia.

On this one we might want to take the "L" and let Russia have the basket case.  Either that or have the EU step up hard and deal with this nonsense on their doorsteps.
