Canada

Just pointing out that healthcare is handled on the Provincial level of government, not Federal (although that isn't exactly the point you were trying to make).

You should also consider consequences if Ukraine loses the war. Does Russia start invading other Europeans countries, and does Canada start sending troops if that happens?

Pretty big ROI for the people actually.

1. Proxy war is better than a war on our own soil. While the straight conflict is one part; Russia is also fantastic at information operations, and those are greatly subdued here due to that federations current conflict.

2. All the donated vehicles are Canadian produced, so we get a subsidy for the vehicle industry (might of heard some issues around that regarding a trade war) and defense industry (a good strategic asset to have).

3. The Operation Unifier mission training Ukrainian soldiers also allows our soldiers to learn from Ukrainians, keeping them up to date on the latest tactics of the war.

4. With the current rumblings from another one of our neighbours, Canada has a pretty fucking huge interest in supporting a rule of law, over might makes right, international order.

So what's the people's ROI, and in what public form does it come in? A reliable healthcare system hopefully?

Just a quick reminder that Russia, which is a dictatorship, has been attacking Ukraine and killed hundreds of thousand people, including civilians and children, abducted minors to 're-educate' them in military camps, and caused material damages in infrastructure and other property, and committed some 200,000 war crimes so far.

And this is a tiny sample of what has been happening in Ukraine.

Asking then for the "people's ROI" when Canada supports Ukraine reveals a abhorrent mindset.

This line of “thinking” brought down the usa, but here you are anyway
