Hey guys, check this out.
Remember that accounting error the Pentagon told us about last month? Well, thanks to that accounting error, we're now able to send an additional $6.2 BILLION DOLLARS to Ukraine so they can start World War 3.
Isn't that awesome?!?!
The Pentagon announced Tuesday that the accounting error revealed last month was significantly more than previously stated and aid provided to Ukraine was overvalued by $6.2 billion rather than $3 billion.
The accounting error includes fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and occurred because "in a significant number of cases," when the US transferred weaponry, military officials counted the value of replacing the weapon instead of the value of the actual weapon, deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh explained at a news briefing.
I love how we just casually have an extra $6.2 billion laying around and we're like yeah, screw our people at home, this cash goin' straight to the Ukraine!
Good for us!
Anyhow, here's Sabrina Singh now:

"We have confirmed that for FY23, the final calculation is $3.6 billion, and for FY22 it is $2.6 billion, for a combined total of $6.2 billion," Singh said. "These valuation errors in no way limit or restricted the size of any of our PDAs or impacted the provision of support to Ukraine," she added.
The extra $6.2 billion is likely to mitigate the need for Congress to pass an additional assistance package before the end of the fiscal year in September.
Yeah, I bet you $6.2 billion they'll have no problem putting together another aid package for Ukraine in the fall.
You watch.
These people never run out of money, especially when it comes to their favorite corrupt country on the planet.
Biden administration crime family at it again!
They’re not even hiding it anymore. I’m kind of surprised they don’t come to their press conferences, make these nonsense statements, and then flip the bird at the reporters and anyone else watching.
Translation, we’re just giving them money and we’re blaming discrepencies on accountants.
Wasnt there another accounting error a few months ago that allowed them to spend 3b more in Ukraine? Are the accountants working from home? I wonder.
I think if you dug into this....this was money allocated in FY 22 for US operations in Afghanistan, and it simply wasn’t spent.
😂. I need it.
🙄
I suppose the American public would prefer that the Ukrainians be the beneficiaries of a windfall. Lord knows we don’t need it!
Its called insulting you intelligence. They have contempt for the Taxpayer and Citizens.
Error, my foot. 10% will be kicked back to the Big Guy.
Heaven forbid the excess be returned to taxpayers. I am so sick of our money being sent to those perverts.
They are indeed flipping us the great big giant double-fisted bird, but most of us drones don’t see it, and when we do see it like you and I, it simply provides them with grinning entertainment.
This is child's play, peanuts really.

It’s a difference in how to count the value of weapons and ammo taken from the stores. The amount sent is not in dispute.
The questions asked here are like - how much is a 40 years old Humvee or anti-tank rifle worth now? There are many accepted ways to do this accounting and right now the military used a method different from what Congress had originally ordered.
They used replacement value, but sometimes the replacement purchased today is much better and more expensive than whatever was in the stores.
A perfect example here is a Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle. The Mk2-s in the store were like old reliable retail bicycle frames from the 60s. The replacement Mk4 is 15 pounds lighter and instead of iron it’s made from carbon-fiber-titanium-something. That’s like a Tour de France bike.
Still won’t be money that is shipped.
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate doesn’t care how much taxpayer money has to be spent to cover up Democrat crimes in Ukraine.
People...We have to end this sh*t in 2024...We have to or we won’t survive...
