Really? CBS News has “discovered” information which has been widely publicized as being part of the aid packages for Ukraine and also has been publicly available information for quite some time? https://www.crfb.org/blogs/congress-approved-113-billion-aid-ukraine-2022
“In addition to the military portion of Ukraine aid, Congress has also approved $46 billion of non-military support. More than half of that amount – nearly $27 billion – has come in the form of economic support funds. This money is used for various purposes including funding the Ukrainian government, repairing and securing Ukraine’s energy grid, providing food security, and supporting the economy through infrastructure repair and other means. Another $7.9 billion has been provided for international disaster assistance; $6.6 billion to support and relocate refugees; $1.5 billion to support allies in Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia; and more than $3.1 billion for other nondefense-related purposes.”
So this comes as absolutely no surprise to those that are informed. It’s a legitimate policy debate as to whether or not the US should be involved and even greater as to what extent, if so. But this yet another line of ridiculous threads where have the usual suspects mocking people for *not* being ignorant. You form your opinions based on nothing - just narratives you and your “sources” make up out of thin air - amazingly with apparently zero embarrassment or shame. Has anyone even claimed the aid was entirely just military? War has many fronts - economic is a major part of any war for survival of a given side. Why do you think sanctions were imposed on Russia? How can you all not know something so basic?
It is ridiculous and ghastly all at once. And Lindsey Graham, a key architect of this tragedy is one of my Senators, and the other plays along with the Neocon team. At least Marina Abramovic has no SC ties, even though we’ll probably help pay her salary as Ukraine’s new ambassador at large.
