So then we're not worrying about the "anti-war" position anymore, alright. I mean, grassroots Republicans elected Reagan who beat the Soviets and Bush who wanted to "fight them over there so we don't face them here", they're certainly comfortable with spending money on the military. They haven't historically wanted to spend that money on welfare though, so I'm not sure that Americans are going hungry because of Ukraine.

The GOP spent trillions in Iraq and Afghanistan but billions for Ukraine is too expensive.
Iraq didn't have the money or influence to buy US politicians.

Russia does.
