So we pay for oil from our “enemy” and fund them while fighting a war w them. I think they were thinking of doing this w Russia also. Basically paying to kill our troops while spending lots of money to send our troops there in the first place.

It's not exactly "US" so much as it is Trump and Bessent if you read the article. The obvious conclusion is that Trump will do anything to stay popular and avoid a Blue Wave at midterms. Other presidents, who at least tried to gin up public support for their wars, could ask the public to bravely make sacrifices. Trump can't do that. He painted himself into a corner.
