Where’s your money going? An anniversary
breakdown of the $113B in taxpayer funds
for Ukraine

113B to Zellouttskyy and his oligarch pals--with 10% all round for the big guys. i dont see any heroes here.

Several good friends from Ukraine are still living in Crete, after their city was bombed flat. They certainly haven't received any of this money...

So far, it's only treasure,But like Veetnam, we will assist with Police Action advisors soon.

How on earth have we reached this point where a crooked, senile, old imbecile can destroy our safety and freedom with no opposition?

I was in Putin's corner because I think he crossed the border to get rid of the 40+ labs built and supported by the US.

$113B to protect Ukraine from foreign invaders -- but we were told we can't afford the $5B it would take to finish our border wall.

I hear Zelinskiys wife needs new shoes in Paris.

A HUGE portion of that "$113" is BS accounting.....like saying a armored personnel carrier that was built in 1967, used for two decades and then put into storage is worth what it cost to buy new. Try that with one of your cars and see what the IRS says about it. Much of the equipment we gave them is worth far, far less than the dollar amounts that these aid packages claim. That is just accounting foolishness. And we do this all the time with other countries, too. Our old M113 APCs, designed in the 1950s and used starting early in Vietnam, have been superceded in the USArmy for decades since the Bradley fighting vehicles took over most of the roles of the APCs. Giving them to other countries is considered by the US Army to be cheaper than paying to have them cut up for scrap. And a lot of the munitions have a definite shelf life. If you buy an artillery shell in 1990 for $3,000 and it has a shelf life of 35 years, and it is 2022, so the shell is 32/35ths of it's way to a burn pit in the desert....is it still actually worth $3,000? Is the shell worth it's new price all the way out until it hits 35 years and 1 day and then it has a negative value? (It costs money to ship and destroy safely). Don't try that with your machinery in your factory when valuing them for the IRS. The value of your stuff in industry is depreciated over time. We are giving away a lot of fully depreciated equipent that we'll never use again, and nearly aged out ammo. Certainly much of the equipment is relatively new, and much of the ammo is, too. But - this stuff goes bad on the shelf, too. We've given away a hell of a lot of our old equipment to various countries around the world....dozens, literally, of different countries operate our old M113 APCs, and we still have many in storage. Seems like a good thing to let someone use them to fight for their own freedom.
