All the money being lost for nothing

I can assure you that the money spent isn’t “lost” at all. They all ended up “somewhere”. There is a reason why Biden is so keen on pushing the $60 bil funding to Ukraine even though everyone knows there is no way Ukraine can win. But yes, agree with the rest of what you said.

I didn’t expect the state propaganda campaign to convince their people to accept welfare cuts and to embrace austerity to work this well.
