In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled US Announces Plans to Send $400 Million More to Ukraine in Military Aid , Cronos wrote:

Sending the Ukrainians $400 million of surplus or older equipment is less than 0.1% of the USA military budget and we get a future war prevented. The Ukrainians are fighting the invaders and we don’t need to.

"This drawdown will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to an unprecedented more than $18.3 billion since the beginning of the Administration." ~ Blinken

It looks like Congress has separate requests for billions to, and Biden has asked for another 12 Billion.

So let's see, so far we can trace 2.5% of our Defense budget going to the Biden money laundering operation in the Ukraine. Both Biden and Congress say they have requests 'on par' with one another for another 12 Billion - so that's another 12 to 24 billion. And, we don't know how much more Blinken will be independently requesting. So 4% of America's defense funds is likely going to the Ukraine which militarily speaking, the Ukraine will lose. The globalists will pocket the lion's share of the 'donations' and Zelensky's puppet replacement will beg for humanitarian aid.

So, let's see -- $18.3 billion in surplus or old equipment that gets battle tested and a potential threat (Putin) to world stability is eliminated.

18.3 out of 743 is 2.5%

2.5% of the budget and in return no American troops and Putin's threat is reduced or eliminated.

win-win
