UK's Cameron Irks Internet With Claim Funding Ukraine 'Creates More US Jobs'

Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron has drummed up some tone-deaf new arguments in favor of committing more money to the bottomless void of ‘Ukraine aid’.
Funneling billions to support the Kiev regime stimulates the US economy, creating more jobs, contended Cameron, who recently resurfaced as the UK’s new foreign secretary. As Ukraine’s failed counteroffensive racks up massive manpower losses, Cameron told reporters at the Aspen Security Forum in Washington, DC, that funds being sent to Ukraine "are being used very effectively."

 The Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost more than 125,000 people and 16,000 units of weapons over the six-month so-called counteroffensive, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said in early December.

Cameron hailed the West’s commitment to fight “to the last Ukrainian” as an “investment in the American defense-industrial base.” According to him, the West needs to “stop thinking of how we are running down our existing stocks in Ukraine.”

At this point, the British politician was not off the mark, as a recent analysis of US military assistance to Ukraine revealed that a substantial share of the funds Congress allocated for bolstering NATO's proxy war against Russia was stimulating domestic industrial activity. Out of the $68 billion in lethal and related assistance provided, almost 90% is inadvertently boosting the US economy, being primarily funneled into creating new weapons and replenishing America’s military inventory depleted by deliveries to Kiev, as per the latest findings by a research team from the American Enterprise Institute.
