Abandoning Ukraine Has Backfired on the U.S. Massively - Paul Warburg



The United States has lost money by NOT supporting Ukraine.

This is a fact that is now backed by numerous different angles - most clearly in rising energy prices. In this video, I break down the true cost of U.S. military support to Ukraine in their war against Russia and put that in context next to other costs. I also explain the second-order costs of higher future military expenditures and reputational damage that the United States has suffered due to the policies of the Trump administration.
