So I haven't dived any further into this fiasco for quite some time. For those of you that have, can you clarify the details behind the $10.6 billion in military aid that the USA has sent to Ukraine?
In other words, I've read from a few places that it's not FREE money (tax dollars) that the USA is sending to Ukraine, but instead it's money in the form of loans (either currency or military weapons) that Ukraine has to pay back over time either via currency or through their commodities and other exports.
Has anyone heard what the ultimate geopolitical gain will be for the USA? Is it merely to strategic positioning between Russia and the rest of Europe? Is it to have majority say in whatever natural resources (commodities) Ukraine puts out? Is it to own Ukraine on the cheap, while they are at their most vulnerable? Is it something else all together?
