This is not a special military operation. It involves the citizens of both nations directly involved.

The War in Afghanistan. The War in Iraq. The War in Gaza.

The War in Ukraine. Started by Russia after their puppet government was ousted in Ukraine.

The assumption would be post war the support would be reconciled similar to the way we handled Lend-Lease. Most of the aid would not be recovered but a portion would over a VERY long time. The US would basically have Ukraine paying interest forever while making trade deals to reduce the principle. All of them s was a play by Zelensky to kiss the ring and secure continued support. Trump just showed the world how much of a Russian ASSet he is, again.
