Zelensky Talks US Troops, Forgetting US Funds Already There
Zelensky's desire for US boots on the ground is framed as boosting security, yet the mainstream media conveniently omits how much 'security' American taxpayers have already bankrolled. Since February 2022, the U.S. has provided over $75 billion in aid to Ukraine, including a $61 billion package passed just this April. This massive transfer of wealth, often facilitated by politicians who echo the
'security' narrative, largely benefits defense contractors—companies like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin—whose stock prices soar with every escalation. One might wonder if 'boosting security' means directly involving US personnel in a proxy war, effectively turning American soldiers into high-stakes poker chips. The idea that a deployment is fresh news ignores the established fact that US financial
and military support has fundamentally shaped the conflict from its inception. How many billions does it take before we question whose 'security' is truly being boosted?
