Exactly .... national aid means helping billionaires and share holders of major corporations
There is always debates, discussions, arguments and special committees when it comes to talking about helping people who actually need help to stay alive or even lead decent lives in their own country.
Giving money to billionaires? It's never a question of 'if' ... it's always a question of 'how much'.
As others said, it's not billions to Ukraine really, it's billions to the people who are about to profit off Ukraine (if they aren't already). Want to buy a piece of the country's assets? Have at it, here: https://privatization.gov.ua/en/
A lot of people assume the US is just giving money mostly like cash too when a majority is really military equipment/training. It's kind of a win for the US because it supports their political goals in the region, gives them a chance to test weapon systems in real conditions, replace these weapons with more modern and advanced versions for the US military, and the money "paid" for these systems also mostly stays in the US economy anyway.
How many people are starving in the western world?
