Please reconcile the contradiction between these two statements:

"Very little of that money has left the USA because the funds were given to the Department of Defense and the State Department."

" Ukraine is not getting the weapons that this money was supposed to pay for so where the hell is the money going? Is the Big Guy tapping this money? Hmmm?"

If you did your homework you know that there is no contradiction here.

Congress isn’t actually buying weapons for Ukraine. They’re replacing all the old or obsolete weapons we’re giving to Ukraine.

The 300,000 155mm cluster munitions we gave to Ukraine were not new. They were at the Sierra Army Depot awaiting disposal. Ditto with everything we’ve given to Ukraine. Even the F-16 fighters we’re giving them were in storage at Davis-Monthan AFB and for whatever reason they were reactivated along with a bunch of F-15 and A-10 starting in 2017.

The “money for Ukraine” is really money for the DoD and State. Only about 5% of the total funds have ever actually been transferred to Ukrainian accounts and then much of that money never leaves NYC.
