Serious Question, how much money or equivalent has USA sent to Ukraine since the war started?

Posted on 07/15/2023 12:35:58 PM PDT by MNDude

I haven't paid much attention to this for awhile. It is someone too demoralizing, but I see most 2024 candidates are falling over themselves promising to be the ones to send the support that Ukraine needs.

I could be wrong, but I thought I remember hearing we had sent $50 billion by the end of 2022.

Does anyone know what the figures are by now?

Probably about 10% of what Congress allocated to the Ukraine. Biden is skimming and using it for his domestic projects.

More than a 2,000 mile border along Mexico would have cost. Heck, bet it would have covered alligators in the Rio Grande as well.

Do you want the REAL NUMBER, or the announced number?

Probably north of $100bn in assistance now. Keep in mind we’ve reimbursed other countries for what they’ve sent so that isn’t counted as direct aid...even though it should be.

Yes, too much but we will NEVER know the true total amount. Substantial “black budget” money has been going there.

Enough to pay for eight walls on the US / Mexico border.

I thought it around $140 billion in money and equipment.

But not one dime for Trump’s wall to protect the borders of our own nation. neoCONs are scum.

The Congressional Black Caucus needs to ask Brandon why all their reparations money is going to Ukraine.

Source is Kiel institute which keeps a running total by category. Source includes their breakdown by category.

Depends on who is responding:

USAFacts says $115 billion since Feb 2023.

US State Dept says more than $44.1 billion since 2014.

[Google search]

They seem to be hiding an exact figure in gobbledygook.

Too much that can’t be accounted for.

They’ve intentionally made it hard to track. I’ll look for the link of an independent effort at auditing and it included money I’d never seen mentioned elsewhere, and I’ve been posting on this.

I initially saw data from the White House press release saying how much Biden had given and I posted it to FR. Then I found out they spread the reporting around so Biden’s money is reported separately and was only a piece of the puzzle. The Pentagon reports it’s money separately, State Department reports separately etc. They all report a piece so you never see the whole. It is over $100 Billion combined - likely WAY over that number.

As someone else pointed out, they don’t report the black ops money. And as I said, that independent audit was partial and yet listed some stuff I’d never seen before. Some incredibly stupid and unrelated stuff in that little audit, too. But congress shoots down efforts to initiate a government audit.

Anything over a dollar is too much. Corrupt governments cannot be trusted with money.

In anticipation of the upcoming elections, the nation is concerned about Brandon’s physical condition but no one seems to inculcate Biden’s lack of moral integrity. Morality does not seem to play a role in American politics.

Amerika ist vorbei.

The nation seems to prefer a crackhead who can stand up straight in Xi’s pocket instead of someone with moral integrity. Remember how this stumbling clown has already given this nation away by opening our borders to a buch of foreigners.
