So who in his right mind would think it is a good time to start a war with Russia over Ukraine? And worse, who would commit the United States to bail out a Ukraine that will need at least $35 billion to survive the year? The costs of US regime change efforts in Syria are likely thus far enormous, both in dollars and lives.
President Obama’s illegal invasion of Libya cost at least a billion dollars and left that country devastated. The cost of the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq may be more than six trillion dollars. Officially, US debt stands at more than $17 trillion.
