totally agree on almost everything you said, but whilst we’re kinda “expecting it to be paid back”, we realised some time between the end of WW1 and the end of WW2 that expecting to be paid back for stuff like this tends to leave a country very very bitter and generally unable to pay back the money anyway (from what i understand)

i think whilst it’ll be “on the books”, in the long run it’ll be a case of “you owe us one; make sure you vote to align with the west”

and TBH, that’s good for everyone (not that the west is perfect, but it’s - in general - a heck of a lot better than the other alternatives)

afaik this is specifically not for weapons: it’s for helping to run the government

could definitely backfire… who knows if NATO want an excuse to show russia that no matter how small they’re not fucking around

let’s play word association! okay

… Russia … Pyrrhic
