  1. The world was due for a correction after years of solid positive growth and continued policies from the financial crisis era (quantitative easing, namely which was never discontinued). Americans should be happy about spending money to help Ukraine because, as mentioned in the vid, cost per person is miniscule AND as soon as Russia leaves Ukraine, global monetary policy can adjust to normal. Just letting Russia annex Ukraine would be more expensive because it would signal to Putin that there's no consequences to attacking former Soviet or Warsaw Pact nations, some of which are NATO members and which would draw NATO into a European war with Russia.

  4. The pre sanction Russian budget was about 370 billion USD. If they spend 30%of their budget on the Ukraine war, Russia is spending about as much as the US, Ukraine, and the other countries helping Ukraine. Meanwhile, everything in Russia degrades as the war pulls resources from every aspect of the country and its infrastructure.
