      It’s something we should all be happy about if we value peace and stability. If this aid package (and others moving forward) will help to deter an aggressive authoritarian power from pursuing their expansionist goals in the region, it’s money well spent. The cost of war is much higher and lives, unlike dollars, don’t come back.
