What is the cost of being able to not repeat ww2 by giving into a dictator?

What is the cost of defending democracy as an ideal form of government to ensure a better world for future generations?

Money and resources is a small cost versus what it could be.

The ROI on stopping Russian expansion and crippling their military has got to be insane.

Especially considering the human cost of blood sweat and tears is "externalized"

So - were helping knock out China’s last regional threat and renewing an enemy that could have been turned into an ally two decades ago?

That seems like a terrible investment.

That's a problem but it's Russia's problem, not ours. For the US and Europe, every month of the campaign in Ukraine, every month of utilizing Russian equipment and personnel, buys at least a year of peace for the whole Europe. At the end of this war Russia will be at bay for another 50-100 years. That's awesome!
