$67.1 billion “defense related” support to Ukraine may have been authorized in 2022, but now 5/6th’s of the way through 2023,

a bit under $50 billion has actually been committed, with not all of that yet sent.

Don’t get me wrong, ~$50 billion is still a nice chunk of change, but, exaggerating does not help the argument when accurate numbers are not that hard to find.

$50 billion over 2 years is actually pretty weak support for a war this size... OTOH, Trump’s policy of not looking weak in the 1st place and thereby deterring Pooty would have been vastly preferable.

Don’t you get it?

The amount is secondary to what it was used for.
