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."
what’s the carve out for the DNC? big election right around the corner.
If I had to pick one, the part about continueing to pay for UKE pensions really sucks. And it would seem that’s where Z-man got the bucks to buy Bonnie King Charlie’s old house for 10 mill, or so? Can’t blame him for wanting a summer house in Jolly old England?
Beyond that , I still want to know who taught the Ukes to shoot. They just seem to shoot dirt. That first 30,000 rounds of 155 we sent them is more ammo than Patton used to run the Krautz out of North Afreeka.
