We are diverting money we do not have to wars eg Ukraine and Russia is sitting tight demolishing the Ukrainian army and equipment we send, making us throw more good money after bad, bleeding us dry financially and military equipment wise. Does any one else see how we are weakening our economy, military equipment reserves and still losing without them firing at us?

Well we learned a lesson from that war that if you appease an aggressor once, you simply invite more aggression. Whether you believe it or not, the entire world is at a tipping point right now with the western democracies on one side and an axis of autocracies on the other (ie China, Russia, Iran and North Korea). If we dont stop them now then the consequences will be too dire to contemplate and thats why the US (and pretty much every other western democracy) has voted to stand up to Russia and its allies now
And just for the record, the US has comitted only around 3.2% of its GDP to aid Ukraine (infact much less than most other EU countries). That's equivalent to around just 1.5 days turnover out of 365 days in a year. It is having ZERO effect on your economy
Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas) they are in hell now.....
