@realcaseyrollins he didn't say the US is having Ukrainians slaughtered in the first place.

He acknowledged the price they were paying while claiming that it's in the US interest to support them, but that doesn't mean the US is making that trade.

Whether or not he's right is a different question, but no, he didn't say the US is having Ukrainians slaughtered.

@realcaseyrollins it's the difference between calling for something, causing it to happen, versus (to use the harshest wording) taking advantage of what's happening anyway.

So what he's saying isn't that the USA is paying for the degradation with blood of Ukrainian soldiers, but that Ukrainians are spilling blood through their, fight with Russia, and the US, even though it doesn't cause that and wouldn't choose that, does experience benefits from it.

Again, I'm using harsh words.

More reasonably he's saying that they are paying a price that works out in the US favor, and the least we can do is support them, and this is why.
