Try 500 billion. That 170 figure is rife with accounting tricks and chicanery. One example is those 155 cluster munitions. They were slated for disposal. So we claimed giving those away was saving money because we wouldn’t have to store and dismantle them. So we subtracted that amount off the air total! Those constant P-8 patrols in the Black Sea aren’t supporting Ukraine, they are just normal US military operations. Same for deployments to Poland, B-52s charging up to St Petersburg. Same for the constant stream on C-17s, including one flying Zelinsky to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala. Same for extensive use of satellites for targeting.

It’s easily 500 billion. Like everything else coming out of DC about this war, it’s a lie.

Long past time for a comprehensive audit of where/how/what form the funding was delivered, and where it circulated thereafter.

Q. Does the US have a defense treaty with Ukraine?

A. The “US-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership” highlights the importance of the bilateral relationship and outlines enhanced cooperation in the areas of defense, security, economics and trade, energy security, democracy, and cultural exchanges.

I didn't say it was the "fault" of the US. I said if there was any big impropriety with Ukraine spending, it was in the US, since most of the money was spent here.

And if there was big impropriety with Ukraine money in Ukraine, look at USAID operations there.

Ukraine was being extorted by the VP of the United States and corrupt programs run by USAID, yet they now are constantly blamed for supposedly "Ukrainian" corruption.

I remember them. I had to educate people I work with about the reality of this war. How it was none of our business.

Remember of everyone was with Blue/Yellow flags and pins?

You'd sooner see a swastika flag than any of that now.
