Although the amount of total money put into Afghanistan will be much higher, my guess is the ROI is going to be much higher in the Ukraine for US and Ukrainian politicians.
The Ukrainians are expendable ants at best, hopefully someone can save a few of those women... hot. Hot women only get you so much.
Yeah. Biden's son, Pelosi's son, Romney's son, and Kerry's son already drained so many millions of dollars of dirty money from Ukraine than any of those families will ever need while Ukrainian women have been slobbering knob in Istanbul, Beijing, Amsterdam, and every other city in Eurasia just to get by from being a citizen in Europe's poorest country. But these American politicians and the people who vote for them really care about Ukrainians!
American and Ukrainian politicians are not only getting phat paydays from weapons companies, but Monsanto owns 20% of all of the farmland in Ukraine, so that's another big payday right there. Ukrainian men are basically dying to defend Corporate American soil.
Interestingly, Ukraine and Russia already had a whole lot more women than men even before the war started. In the past, it's been hard to get into Russia without a work visa and I imagine it's even harder now and probably not worth the risk of the US government prosecuting you if a $3 lunch at Uncle Vanya's shows up on your American Express Skymiles card.
Ukraine, on the other hand, has always been wide open, but the best place to meet the best-looking Ukrainian women is the dive bars between the Hyatt and Hilton in Taksim district in Istanbul. A lot of them are very well-spoken ladies fluent in English who are obviously very well-educated but with zero opportunity in their homeland since their nation's wealth gets sucked out to Washington DC, so they have to suck off outside of Ukraine to suck money back in. The best-looking Ukrainian I've ever seen, though, has been a streetwalker in China. That one was pre-Maidan, but all the coup did was swap out a corrupt donkey for an equally corrupt mule.
Due to the war, the gender gap in Ukraine and Russia is growing, particularly in the 18-40 age range, especially in Ukraine since it's losing more men both nominally and especially per capita than the Russians. That being said, I've seen a lot of articles about how wives in the UK and elsewhere are angry because their fat middle-aged husbands are leaving them for Ukrainian pieces of ass in their 20s that moved into their home as refugees. Plus Ukrainian women are saturating Tinder and those sites in Western Europe. Russian women are banned for traveling to most of those countries, so they can't leave their husband on the front line for a much wealthier Jody in Germany or Poland the way Ukrainian women can. The war in Ukraine is perhaps the best thing to ever happen to Ukrainian women and one of the worst things to happen in decades to Ukrainian men, except for the "brave" Comedian and his crew who are becoming fantastically wealthy men.
