Almost as if a preventable policy shift happened.

That would be a compelling argument (unpredictable policy shift) if it hadn't been predicted by socialists all over the world when the war started

Socialists predicted that the US would cozy up to russia?

Socialists predicted that Ukraine would be betrayed by the US, there's literally a 2+ year-old meme in the comment section of this post with the picture of Zelensky being welcomed by Gaddafi, Saddam and Bin Laden

Has it? Ukraine is stuck with a loan because Biden did not give them the weapons but loaned them. If this was not the plan all along, why would they be loans?

Have they? As far as i am aware, the Lend-Lease act of 2022 hasnt been used once. The weapons weren't loaned, but the 4.4 Billion dollars for buying weapons were. Thats a fraction of the 176 billion the US spent in this war.

That 500B debt is number pulled of Trumps Ass.

And as if half those pictured were never allies. For pete's sake Libya was in the non aligned movement from 1964 on.
