Yes, it is propaganda bullshat. Even if Congress passed a bill it wouldn’t help any time soon.

So this is pure BS.

Finely crafted and made from the most expensive ingredients. It is classic BS of the most ordinary kind.

“About $60 billion in the bill would go to supporting Ukraine as it defends itself from the Russian invasion that began nearly two years ago. There’s nearly $14 billion to allow Ukraine to rearm itself through the purchase of weapons and munitions and another nearly $15 billion for support services such as military training and intelligence sharing.

The support also includes nonmilitary assistance. About $8 billion would go to help Ukraine’s government continue basic operations with a prohibition on money going toward pensions. And there’s about $1.6 billion to help Ukraine’s private sector.

About a third of the money allocated to supporting Ukraine actually will be spent replenishing the U.S. military with the weapons and equipment that are going to Kyiv. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly emphasized that point, saying in a statement Tuesday that the money is about “reaffirming a commitment to rebuild and modernize our military, restore our credibility, and give the current Commander-in-Chief, as well as the next, more tools to secure our interests.” U.S. News

Most of it isn’t even planned to be used by Uke soldiers. You’ve got tens of billions directly to the MIC to “replenish the U.S. military”, pensions, buying and paying corrupt Uke officials, all the big guys’ cuts, etc. $14 billion to allow the Ukes to rearm, the rest is graft, pay offs and billions in MIC profits. Everyone wants one last cut now that the jig is up.
