Support for Ukraine is what the White House spokesperon said was the #2 objective for the lame duck Congress. We have given $18 billion of the $52 billion appropriated so far. So an additional $47 billion will bring the appropriations up to $47+52-18 = $81 billion more that the US can provide before needing more appropriates from the new Congress.
52 billion appropriated and another 37 billion is a total of 89 billion. This isn’t just cash, its money for rockets, bullets, uniforms, military gear, CIA and Special Forces training, and money to NATO nations to replace the weapons they have given to Zelensky. One of the reasons is, Zelensky has lost the same percentage of equipment that Putin has lost which is enormous. There are tanks and trucks and APCs all over the country that are blown up junks now. Thousands from both sides. So for the arms industry, they will employ more people making bombs and bullets and artillery cannons and shells. And we will make new jets and helicopters for Poland and Romania and Germany gave up to Ukraine that are now burning junks on the ground. It’s madness. Russia is buying arms from China, India and Iran and its all burning junk now also This madness will continue for years. This is a giant money pit
