That would be the sensible option however at this point it's become a massive transfer of wealth exercise. Print money which is a tax on the middle and lower classes via inflation, transfer it to the arms companies with the ruling class directly and indirectly benefiting from the profiteering. I had hoped that negative US public opinion on sending so much money abroad to a war with no stated aims or goals at the same time living standards are plummeting would pressure a rethink on peace negotiations however the Republicans and Democrats are now the one party and this ponzi scam will continue until the last Ukranian breathes there final breath. The final stage will be splitting up the remains of the country and selling everything off to Blackrock & Co. This isn't geopolitics anymore its corruption and greed.
