If this would prevent WW3 as you say, why not do something more than send cash over there? Weapons help. Troops help. If it's anything like the COVID PPP loans it will go to the wrong people. You have more faith in the govt than I.

We are sending weapons, though... It's hard to keep a country that is being invaded somewhat functional without an influx of money as well. Ukraine is one of the largest grain producers in Europe, if I remember correctly, which is pretty important.

I am sure there is some corruption at some level as would be with any system, but we can clearly see the outcome of our investment. Ukraine is holding its own against Russia, and the Ukrainian people are still holding strong thanks to a coordinated effort from the US and our allies.

People might take you a bit more seriously if you didn’t jump from one argument to another when confronted with a little pushback.

Yeah this is reddit so there are several arguments and may sound mixed up. These are all just opinions from internet know-it-alls anyways.
