Brandon would tout this as a “Hot economy — look at all the jobs I’ve created!”

You should be FLUSH with cash, even less the Ten Percent for The Big Guy.

Actually it is raining Iranian drones, for some reason the Russians can't even build their own drones.

You are confusing the value of weapons and ammunition sent to Ukraine with where that money is spent. The money spent on the weapons and ammunition went to American families who work at places like Lockheed Martin, or Federal Ammunition, and the many other US companies that make weapons and ammunition.

This is what happens with a weak president. Biden should have sent Ukraine a few ATACMS long ago.

Then Ukraine would have been able to wipe out a Russian plant for each Ukrainian one hit.

You are right, Ukrainians are tough, and they will survive the winter better than the Russian guys in the trenches who will die shortly after they light a fire to stay warm.

But Russia is still a terrorist state.

—> Russia’s military spending in 2021 hit $66bn, says the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

How much has the US sent ukraine so far?
How much more in aid and supplies and intelligence?

Certainly a total of well over $100 billion as a swag…

Close to 40% from what I have read via various sources, but whose counting other than ZelesnkyyIdiot.

Can’t mess with super inexpensive suicide drones...will be studied for years after this war/conflict/SMO has ended.

You are correct. If Ukraine could strike targets at longer distances the Russian invasion will come to an end more quickly saving the lives of many civilians, and even the lives of many Russian soldiers.

Price per unit of ATACMS verses the unit price of a suicide drone?

LMAO!

Idiot logic: use the biggest and expensive cannon you got in an attempt to shot a fly....and folks wonder why the US has a $700-800+ billion dollar defense budget.

Just like in the space race, the US spent millions developing a pen that would work in zero gravity.
The Russians used a pencil.

LMAO!!!

Actually, it is mostly raining converted SA-300 missiles, and some Iranian drones. If reports are to be believed.

One of the world’s bigger manufacturers of large power transformers was in Zaporizhzhia. However, it is no longer operating and cannot supply new power transformers for substations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporozhtransformator

And, at any rate, large power transformers are long lead time devices which are also heavy and difficult to transport.

Global production is limited. I don’t think that the US has a manufacturer.

Oh dear, we must send a bunch of million dollar umbrellas to Ukraine, so they can kick back one in ten to Jao Buydung.
