What have we gotten for the first $100 billion to Ukraine? A victory for “freedom” like we were promised? No. We got rampaging inflation, decreasing standard of living, and demands for another $100 billion!

The rampaging inflation is 3.5%. You're not going to see a rate cut this month, but it's not "rampaging". And it was due to over stimulus to avoid a covid recession, not giving Ukraine weapons that would have been replaced anyway.

What's the data behind the main that standard of living has dropped?

Let's not conflate it with non intervention. What Israel is doing is unconscionable. Everyone should be standing against Israel and condemning their actions. Had any other country acted this way they would be absolute pariahs excluded from international trade, had all their internationally held assets seized, and face reparations and limitations on their military.

Non intervention applies when there is a legitimate conflict and you don't take a side. Simply not participating in Israel's genocide is not what the vast majority of people want.

Military intervention against Israel isn't on the table. Nor even supplying modern arms to Gaza.

It should be put on the table. Starting with cutting off all aid, employing sanctions, and putting peace keepers in gaza.
