An American veteran wounded on the Ukraine front lines calls for more U.S. funding, and says some people don't "understand the repercussions" of a Russian victory.
Volunteer. The USA never told him to go. It was his decision and he knew the risks. But that doesn’t mean these volunteers can be the butt of your jokes or memes.
Secondly: because its to the American Benefit to have the Ukrainians test out our war-capacity. 155mm, Drones, and HIMARS, and Stinger Missiles have been proven to be needed. Thanks to the Ukrainian war, we’re building up capacity but we need someone “using” that equipment to justify the buildout of these production lines.
Its an obvious way to get US Steel and manufacturing kick-started again. Stinger Missiles in particular were in a sorry state, with all production lines torn down. Its going to take another 4 years before we get another Stinger Missile, but it was thanks to the Ukrainians that we discovered the problem.
The data on the US Patriot system vs Russia’s hypersonic missile will be good practice vs the hypothetical Chinese hypersonic missiles as well, if China vs Taiwan ever goes hot. Its to our advantage to have our technology tested in Ukraine. Why give Europe the field-practice when its so much better for us to get the data instead?
Alternate headline: Vet goes to fight for another countrie’s army and finds out it’s not the most funded military in the world like he is used to.
Yo, asshole. Some of us know US Veterans who have died volunteering for Ukraine. So shut the fuck up.

This is all true. But more importantly, Russia is attempting to remove Ukraine from the face of the planet while kidnapping their children.
It is morally correct to help the Ukrainians defend themselves from this evil.

I urge you to stop and think about what you’re saying, the US did this already before well both world wars and it did not work.
