Russia Ukraine war, page-242423

There has been much ado on this thread about the expected
economic impact of Western (US lead) economic sanctions
on Russia and the expectation that not only would these sanctions
render Russia incapable of conducting this war while maintaining
a massive Nuke arsenal but ultimately creating social upheaval
in Russia to debunk the Putin regime (As Dickins might say "Great Expectations),
but in typical aggressive Western style,
no one has asked the question:
"Can the US afford to be the major economic backer of this war
and the Israeli Arab war on the credit card when its debt is
already $35.7 Trillion and if Trump is elected that will
baloon to a staggering $50 Trillion + over the next 4 years
($43 Trillion if Harris is elected.)

And most of this massive mountain of debt has been
accumulated during a good US economy. It begs the
question how will the US be should it hit another GFC style recession?

IMO ongoing massive US financial support is needed by
the Ukraine in order to maintain the status quo, let alone
win this war!

PS: US budget is currently running at minus $2 Trillion (+ or -)
for this financial year and has been doing so annually since 2016.
