Yep, we haven't forgotton what Russia has done with MH17. I'm totally fine with spending this much and more if this means for more Russian losses.

The actual revenue of the government is only ~10x smaller though, so it'd be more like if the U.S government sent $26.7 billion in one package.

So far, the U.S has earmarked ~$68 billion in aid to Ukraine, and there's a new aid request for $37.7 billion in the works that will bring the total up to ~$105 billion.

And then more people will come. That’s like trying to solve traffic congestion by building another lane.
