US funding for war in Ukraine in 9 months:
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) November 16, 2022
Mar: $ 13.6 billion
May: $ 40b
Nov: $ 37.7b: Biden's new request
That $ 91.3 billion is 33% more than Russia's *total military spending for the year*
It's *double* the US's average annual expenditure for its own war in Afghanistan
WNU Editor: This does not include all the aid that Ukraine is receiving from the EU, Canada, and other Western countries.
I would just like to know if anyone is tracking this money and military aid, and if anyone is being held accountable for it? My gut is telling me that everyone is turning a blind eye to it all.
Vast majority doesn't even go to Ukraine. It gets set aside to put in orders for weapons to be manufactured in 2024-2025+
ReplyDeleteAKA you can consider it Taiwan military assistance by that point.
You betcha no one is monitoring this.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is white money going out.
It does not even touch the Black budgets which are significant in their own right.
Ukrainians are killing more russian invaders than the Afghan Army killed Pakistani backed terrorists.
ReplyDelete2,000+ fascist tanks turned to scrap
150+ helicopters turned to scrap
etc
Very cost effective
Exactly as I am thinking, If russia is to destroy infras, Ukraine to drain russias military.
DeleteThink of a known powerful Russia has to start realignment of military equipment production, they were exposed by Ukraine. Russia no longer super power. Even their arm personnels were exposed having low morals that seems cannot perform a critical task in an event of a mahor conflict specially with a super power.
No not cost effective at all. Every dollar spent on defense is one less dollar you have to grow your economy.
ReplyDeleteTake money to buy a tank or jet fighter. That item contributes nothing to the economy. Use that same money to build a tractor or bull dozer. That item goes on to build other things or products.
You are 10T in debt ...how are you going to pay it back?
These commenters are ghouls--don't expect much.
DeleteWar is a Racket

+120T in unfunded liabilities.'
ReplyDeleteYou can wave a wand and those go away.
The wand in question? WW3. Hmm really makes ya wonder why the State Dept is so hungry for it.
