Imagine spending 100 billions on something more useful
Sovereignty of a nation and an ethnic group's right not to be genocided by their neighbor isn't something worth spending money on?
Donetsk and Luhansk Republics
Ethnic Russians in Ukraine
1991 isn't real.
If someone invaded your country, would you still have the same opinion? If Trump invaded your country(assuming you are not an american), would you still say "why are we spending billions to fight Trump, when we could have spent them on education and housing?".
If my country was a Nazi shithole then I'd have the same opinion yes. If my country was one of the most corrupt states in the world and run by a puppet fascist government of the USA, then yes, I'd have the same opinion. if my country's puppet rulers did everything they could to provoke an invasion and then cry about it then I wouldn't have any sympathy.
