We’ve spent hundreds of billions more. Where did it go?

Tie any future Ukraine payments to full disclosure of Biden and Democrat bribes for past payments.

Does the estimated $189 billion include the monies given to prop up their economy?

At the link, the State Department dated their breakdown of support to Ukraine Jan 20, 2025 but they actually uploaded the file January 1, 2025.

The data never seems to match and this breakdown is highly detailed and mentions other elements...*sigh*...

State Department funds are reported separately from Defense spending, usually, but this State Department dispatch seems to include Defense? But I have seen content on WhiteHouse.gov which reports a separate amount for just the WH.

I see they spent 34 million securing Ukraine's borders. I'm jealous. Note the tone of the text is rather histrionic; I'm picturing a man in a dress crying little streams of mascara while typing it.

Border Security

Since 2017, the Department of State’s Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation has provided over $34.8 million in Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining, and Related Programs support to Ukraine through the Export Control and Border Security (EXBS) Program. The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) has been a primary recipient of EXBS assistance. EXBS also provided assistance to Ukraine Customs and export control and sanctions authorities. Until Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, a major focus of EXBS efforts was the development of SBGS’s Maritime Border Guard operational and sustainment capabilities to replace capabilities lost during Russia’s unlawful annexation of Crimea and introduce modernized equipment, training, and procedures.

I liked how our politicians were more worried about border security for a foreign nation but our own border was “just a line”.

Think of how many bridges, roads and public buildings could have been built with all that money right here at home. Totally wasted on the MIC and our disgusting D.C. grifters.
