> We sent 4 times that amount to Ukraine for the war by an emergency vote.

Not sending money to Ukraine means people die. Not sending a man to the Moon? People would just wonder why.

Yes, and lose their freedom, and it greatly increases the risk that many more will die and lose their freedom.

    Sending money also increases the risk of nuclear war in which even more people will die and lose their freedom.

      > Sending money also increases the risk of nuclear war

      In which way?

      • willcipriano 2 months ago

        1. Increase conflict between you and a nation with nuclear weapons

        2. Make nation with nuclear weapons more desperate

        3. Make nation with nuclear weapons more angry

        If the point is to prevent nuclear war you must either prevent nukes or prevent war. This accomplishes neither.

    Minor nitpick, but Ukraine does not have many young man fighting for it, the average age of the combatant is over fourty.

Doesn't sending weapons to a country at war ensure more death and destruction? isn't that the point?

    Well, if you send weapons, instead of killing people you have the aggressor's army just pumping cheeks and pretending to look fierce. No death, no destruction, just maybe threats. No?
