"Follow the money" is almost certainly in play.
Political donations from defense contractors to politicians who vote to donate, expend or simply waste defense materials. Even worse, Russia is no longer our nation's principal adversary, and we are not supposed to talk about just who is.
Defense contractors can’t control how much of their weaponary gets to the front and how well it used when it gets there.
Yes, it’s modern-day imperialism in Ukraine and its being conducted by a Biden regime that constantly smears those that founded the nation as imperialists.
No. But after spending 7 trillion in Iraq and afghanistan for absolutely nothing, 200 billion is not much.

Oh well that makes me feel better. /s
Meamwhile, we have homeless vets & fentinyl pouring into our country. God help us.
The Democratic folly will continue until the economy of the USA collapses or Trump is elected to Office.
Imagine how many children’s weather balloons we could pop with that money
“We’re going to support Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
China is about to send arms to Putin now he can double down on the front it’s insane the thing Biden can out spend the both of them.
Ten months to $100 billion.
Six weeks to $200 billion.
Are we back to Farrakhan math again?
And in 2023 that $13B would be $173B.
And exactly how much is Europe paying?
You know, the ones who this REALLY matters to and who should be dealing with this backyard problem themselves…
Send $200 billion to Ukraine.
Cut $200 billion from Social Security.
The Republicans have gone from the stupid party to the insane death march stupid party.
How many weather balloons could be popped for $200 billion
Depends on which side you want the answer for.
Sir, If the General and the SecDef wish to know how many balloons the United States of America’s Air Force NORAD Command could be intercdicted, Sir, if we deployed IAM5-Bravo Sidewinders to interdict them, Sir, then 500,000 could be interdicted, Sir. For $200 billion, Sir
But, Sir if the General and the SecDef wish to know how many weather balloons could those Junior High kids deploy to be interdicted by USAF NORAD Command’s IAM5-Bravos, Sir, them kids they could deploy 15 Billion weather balloons, Sir. For $200 billion, Sir.
The USA’s entire defense budget is about $800 million.
$200 Billion? We’re already into 1/4th that amount going to the corrupt Ukraine.

If you add the $85 billion in weapons this clown administration left in Afghanistan, we’re at almost $300 billion in wasted money. Add to that the airport we left for the Chinese to run in Afghanistan, it’s easier to understand why they don’t have funds to help the people of Palestine, Ohio.
I am sure it would be very easy to add up over $1 trillion wasted money by the idiots in the biden administration.
Russia spends $69 billion and has held off more advanced weaponry.
We spend about $800 billion for our defense. We’ve got $200 billion committed to the corrupt Ukraine? That is just a shocking number.
Also, don’t forget about the $85 billion we left in Afghanistan.
We’re going to soon waste the amount of our entire defense budget. There wouldn’t have been $85 billion or $200 billion going to Ukraine if they had not stolen the election. Neither would have happened.
I am so glad our “betters” have decided that our tax dollars are theirs to just throw away anyway they want. I think I will forgo paying taxes for a couple years...LOL
Russia should be forced to pay every penny. And the restoration that will be needed. They don’t call Russia the evil empire for nothing.
