Because of our bill the administration already has pre-existing authority to provide substantial defense aid without any new congressional action.

Has Marco not been reading the numerous reports that Biden has redirected 80% of artillery aid from Israel to Ukraine?
“Without any new congressional action.”
The reason military aid to Israel will not face some of the obstacles Ukraine aid has faced is because back in December of 2020 we passed my bill authorizing a minimum of $3.3 billion a year in aid for 8 years (2021-2028)

And has Marco not been reading up on the Nine Billion Dollars in aid Biden has allocated to Iran/Hamas?
Ah, that wasn't about redirecting aid meant for Israel to Ukraine.
It was about taking American munitions stored in Israel (but still belonging to America) and moving it to Ukraine.
Not that I care whether our military aid is squandered on Ukraine or Israel or Sri Lanka. It's all still squandered.
Our munitions should be protecting our borders. Our money should be reserved for us.
