It’s the price Biden has to pay for the disastrous pullout in Afghanistan. No Afghanistan debacle, no invasion of Ukraine by Putin.

They broke.
Economy is in tatters.
Matter of fact, truth be told, on the verge of bankruptcy.

If the money dries up from US/UK/NATO/EU, the Ukrainian House of Cards implodes faster than the Titanic sank.

It's now topped $100 Billion.

A sizable portion of the US 'aid' was in kickbacks to candidates (mostly 'D', with some 'R') in the recent 11/8 US sElection (sic).

They don’t even provide a fake justification or any details about what exactly the money will be spent on.

We all know this is politicians laundering money.

The Republican led Congress had better start using their authority.

[Chad_the_Impaler]

We tossed an amount that is a huge fraction of the Ukrainian economy, but the Ukrainian economy is only a tiny fraction of the world economy. These facts are at cross purposes in any argument, but the product of the two numbers is only 0.07% of the world GDP.

Hi-

Does the $100B total include all the military hardware as well?

[PIF]

Why spend money on Puerto Rico at 103, Panama and Costa Rica at 64, “Palestine” at 16, Bahamas at 11, Kosovo at 9????

[ClearCase_guy]

Ukraine has clearly attacked NATO. The US and our European allies should respond by invading Ukraine and overthrowing Zelensky and ousting the Nazis.

Does the $100B total include all the military hardware as well?

Yes

The MONEY for the military hardware stays in America in the bank accounts of the bosses of the MIC.

It’s a giant grift and money laundry.

American taxpayers spend billions to pay Raytheon, Lockheed Martin etc to build weapon systems.

They were shipped to Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine, where they are expended, blown up, or abandoned.

The bosses of the MIC keep the money.

Rinse, repeat.

Ukraine is ultimately screwed.

Just like Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan - Ukraine is utterly controlled and dependent on the West and USA for literally everything. Ukrainians are already cynical about graft and corruption (which is why 7 million fled the country)

Ukraine is totally hollowed out. When western resolve (and $$$) waiver, which it will - the hollow shell which is Ukraine Government, will collapse.

The $100B is a tally of all the individual ‘gifts’ from congress to ukraine since february. There was another large one (amount?) in the last 24 hours.

Under each ‘gift’ might have been details for this weapon or that one, however there is the grift of it all, and opens IMHO the question of how real the hardware might have been versus the cover of legitimacy for kickbacks and the like to fund the whims of congresscritters that voted for it.
