    Exactly.

    OK, if you’re worried about Russia, let’s build a few more nukes and drone factories, and call it a day. Unless you’re trying to project power (the US) or use weapons manufacture as a fill-in for failed industrial policy (the US and now Germany), that’s all you need.

        If you want to help Ukraine, feel free to go volunteer. There’s plenty of conscripts there happy to change places with you.

        Using them as a proxy to bleed Russia is not helping anyone except the US and weapons manufacturers.
