Sad, you just can't take off your political hat and answer a simple question. 

We need solutions to offer up to our current/future leaders. Trusting the right decision will be made is naive at best.

What is your solution for funding Ukraine? Does debt and our deficit mean anything to you?

The sarcasm was certainly the first thought that popped into my head to. I'm sure Trump proposed it this way because hey, getting favorable loan terms and then refusing to pay it back worked for him so why not Ukraine?

But at the same time, it's what would happen anyways. Instead of giving them money, we'll give it to them in the form of an interest-free loan. OK, cool. How will Ukraine pay it back? Simple answer: they won't. They won't be able to. So then what? Are we going to engage in debt-trap diplomacy like China? Invade Ukraine ourselves? Or just forgive it anyways? Trump's idea just makes it seem more palatable to maga folks and the "America First" crowd.

We're already getting great return on our investment by alienating Russia on the world stage and setting them back decades.
