Russia's entire defense budget is ONLY 61 billion dollars and the U.S. has already sent 50 billion in military aid to Ukraine?

 Bill Maher was mentioning in one of his monologues on his show recently and I began to think about this more.

It's true people don't make much money per hour in Russia and so they likely can manufacture their weapons more cheaply than here and also use Gulag prisoners to build weapons too there. So, their costs per weapon no matter what it is will be incremental compared to American costs for weapons.

But, the point of all this from my point of view is "How many billions of dollars of weapons can the U.S. send to Ukraine before this becomes problematic for the U.S. economically?

On another level I suppose we have to do whatever it takes to keep this from becoming another World War (which is what it looks like right now). However, it is much more likely that this is more like the Korean War in the early 1950s like we had with China as a proxy war. How will all this turn out?

Unknown.

But, it likely is resulting in at the very least the worst food famine worldwide (when you combine it with 2 years of Covid effects on the Supply chains for food worldwide combined with Global Climate changes and Flooding in China and droughts in the western half of the United States interfering with growing food in the western states of the U.S. as well as other effects of climate change preventing food from being grown various places on earth. Then you have to combine this with the fact that Russia and Ukraine supply 30% of the grains for people to eat on earth.

So this is becoming the worst food disaster now since World War I for the next couple of years for Earth.
