Biden okayed a new $100 million aid package for Ukraine, announcing more artillery rounds and anti-aircraft munitions. The Biden package includes 155 millimeter artillery shells, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, small arms ammunition and Javelin and AT-4 launchers.


Biden and the Democrats eagerly arm foreign countries but grabbing guns from Americans is an obsession w/ them. The same “Congress” that gleefully tramples Americans’ 2A rights, is hell-bent on supplying weapons to foreign countries.


Not content w/ mega US billions already in his pocket, Zelensky now says
he wants US tax dollars to Ukraine “according to the Israeli model”......here’s what he means:

Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report

https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL33222/44

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.


Biden keeps gaslighting Americans about the “need” for American
foreign aid tax dollars to Ukraine. Here’s why they DONT need it:

About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.

US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>our tax dollars assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>our tax dollars provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>our tax dollars provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>our tax dollars helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>our tax dollars bought supplies for farmers,
<><>our tax dollars financed finding markets for small business.

Utterly sickening, made even more so by the certainty that a good amount of this money has been filched by corrupt scumbag bureaucrats and parasites of all stripes in both Youcrayne and the US.
