The US Congress has passed the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022 to expedite aid to Ukraine – just as Franklin D Roosevelt did.
The sums of money being contemplated in Washington are enormous – a total of $47bn, the equivalent of one third of Ukraine’s prewar GDP. If it is approved by Congress, on top of other western aid, it will mean that we are financing nothing less than a total war.

My opinion on this is that the US intends to help Ukraine win the war.
I don't think the intention goes any further. If Congress approves it, there will be a response from Putin. There could be consequences and it is there that the escalation truly transcends.
We are experiencing very hard times and uncertainty, those of us who believe in bitcoin know that we have to hold on.

If the civilized world had jointly taken tough measures against the military invasion of Russian tanks on the territory of the sovereign state of Georgia in 2008, then there would most likely not have been a subsequent Russian attack on Ukraine in 2014. In 2014, light symbolic sanctions followed against Russia, because they were afraid to anger the aggressor. This prompted Putin to launch a large-scale invasion of Ukraine in order to take over this state and enslave its people in February 2022.

After the publication of the atrocities committed by the invaders against the civilian population of Ukraine, and also due to the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to the Russian invasion, and thanks to the effectiveness of such a rebuff, many states finally realized that indulging the aggressor only increases his appetites. That Ukraine will be followed by the Baltic countries, Moldova, Poland. Now the civilized world has seen that the hands of Ukrainians can put an end to such an aggressive monster, which is Russia, and therefore they began to help Ukraine with serious weapons.

The adherents of world peace need to finally understand that evil must be punished, otherwise it will grow and come to your homes. There is no other way out, because impunity breeds new aggression.
