So put up a counter figure. To be fair: Ukraine ia an economic basket case, and without proxies with deep pockets, Ukraine would have collapsed. Also, you imagine long term hundreds of billions support?
If the West could not afford to support Ukraine, if it did not think that the price was worth it, the West would have ordered Ukraine to sue for peace.
As I indicated earlier, if you believe otherwise, then go buy a bunch of long-dated deep put of the money puts on T bills.
I heard Biden say Ukraine conflict was a vital US interest. I disagree. If it isn't one, then Biden is making a mistake. It has been elevated into a contest over a unipolar world order, which is bad for the US unless it is a vital US interest.
Again, three billion a month d all the rest of it is obviously a cost that the US is willing to pay. The EU isn't given a say.
To put it another way, are you buying deep out of the money UST puts?

You're assuming that because the West made a certain decision, it must have been a rational and sensible one.
That's an invalid assumption.
Check out these two pieces that analyse how the sanctions on Russia backfired:

The West has been tripped up by hubris.
I am not sure what makes you think that I made such an assumption.

I'll spell it out for MAGA-level reading comprehension:
Deflating Russia is a vital US interest.
The Kabal that putsched Kiev just withdrew 18 billion from EUSSR pockets.
This after demanding and getting orders for 4 billion gene-jabs for 400 million citizens.
