That number is how much Russians have destroyed in Ukraine and not how much any country has given them.
In addition a lot of the aid the US sends is counted in dollars, when it shouldn’t.
Why not?
Example - America sent 30,000 105mm artillery shells from army reserves. The chances of the US army needing to fire an outdated 105mm shell in anger is about 0.0%. It most probably costs more to safely dispose these shells than to just give them away.
I see pallets of Benjamins disappearing into the void.
more Money Laundering for Bidens/Romneys/Pelosis
....and 10% to the Big Guy
Does that include the new gold palace with Diamond ceilings for the President-for-life Zelenskyy? The more weapons we send to Ukraine, the less China has to fight in the real war.
I think they are trying to drain American taxpayers dry for something that has nothing to do with or caused by the taxpayers. I have always questioned why our government insists that we should work our asses off just to send billions to foreign nations to support their causes. We have more than enough causes in our own country that should be using that money. Like natural disasters. Road and bridge repairs. Etc and etc.
You do realize that the Russians have habitually been dropping 40,000-60,000 artillery shells a day given various operations, etc.?

Sending Ukraine 30,000 artillery shells was what, charity, or an indication that Ukraine’s artillery is near non-existent when compared to massed Russian artillery?
