How much money was set on fire for Ukraine?

Where does that fall in relation on the righteousness rubric?

Certainly a lot less per day, but regardless, the two wars have very different aggressors. If the US has an argument that Iran was a real threat, it certainly hasn't tried to make it yet. Conversely, Ukraine had no choice about whether to be in a war.

It's easy to be cynical around "righteousness" but morality means something. I hope Americans with any kind of influence or vote are introspecting hard right now on what they feel confortable with.

It was not set on fire, it was ”invested” in dead Russian soldiers.
