Did you ever check how much the US spends on it's military?
Did you ever check how much money Afghanistan Cost the US per year?
Okay let me spoon feed you some pure stats.
The cost of the war in Afghanistan varies greatly depending on what is included, but the US spent roughly $100 billion per year
United States' annual military budget was approximately
$874 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2024
EU Member states spent €343 billion on defense, which accounted for 1.9% of the bloc's GDP.
Japan's defense spending is increasing significantly, with the fiscal year 2025 budget set at a record ¥8.7 trillion (about $55 billion)
And now the crown of it all.
According to the Costs of War Project at Brown University, the United States spent $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel from October 2023 to October 2024.
The US has provided Egypt with approximately $1.3 billion in annual military aid since the 1979 peace treaty with Israel
So the question of can Ukraine count on it allies to pay it all? Yep it sure can. Because so far Ukraine is PEANUTS compared to Afghanistan. And unlike Afghanistan the US military is actually getting direct feedback and combat data on a potential war with China.
Considering the very real prospect of a war with China. Considering that the US left Afganistan in 2021.
US spent about $187 billion appropriated for Ukraine since 2022 through 2024.
So just so you realize this. the US is right now spending only HALF of what it spend on Afghanistan on Ukraine.
ONLY HALF. With no actual military personnel lost or countless veteran benefits needed to be paid.
So let's say Afaganistan is the USes Maximum spending limit right.
The total amount of money spent on Afghanistan varies by how it's calculated, but estimates for U.S. spending alone range from about $955 billion to over $2.3 trillion
.
So US can fund Ukraine for another 15 years. Without occurring any significant penalties back home.
