I didn't realize the disgusting 'foreign aid' package showed any interest in 'replenishing' American military stockpiles; wonder how far 23bn will get us after Trump had originally funded 3 trillion to rebuild our military before.
Another 8 billion in non-military assistance to prop up optics falsely portraying the Ukraine as financially viable with funding for salaries, pensions (government), emergency services after their workforce has fled (refugees), is dead, or is in the process of being forcibly conscripted.
Yang Tian and agenciesSat 20 Apr 2024 22.33 EDT"In the Ukraine bill, of the $60.7bn, a total of about $23bn would be used by the US to replenish its military stockpiles, opening the door to future US military transfers to Ukraine. Another $14bn would go to the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, in which the Pentagon buys advanced new weapon systems for the Ukrainian military directly from US defence contractors.
There is also more than $11bn to fund current US military operations in the region, enhancing the capabilities of the Ukrainian military and fostering intelligence collaboration between Kyiv and Washington; and about $8bn in non-military assistance, such as helping Ukraine’s government continue basic operations, including the payment of salaries and pensions."
