Pentagon Money For Ukraine Will Run Out By Summer

Politico: The end of Ukraine aid is rapidly approaching. Reupping it won’t be easy

That’s raising fresh concerns among lawmakers about what the White House is planning next, including when the administration will ask for another major package and whether it will be enough.

Update #2: Ukraine Aid Funding Expected to Run Out by Mid-Summer (Antiwar.com)

Was it not about 2 months ago that the WHO or World bank or someone did an estimate of about 1 trillion dollars to rebuild Ukraine?

What a sink hole. Yes, The USG under uncle Joe will poor billions more in to this loser. Why??, Because the Neocon ideologues hate Russia and somewhere along the line a lot of the BLOB is making big money off of it.

money will run out in a few days unless congress and the president do something about debt limits.
Dear anti Joe readers: you ought to know that there is always enough money for the outfits that make munitions and sell or lend or give to our allies , for that is what congress people gift to their home state folks who elect them.
And yes, even under Trump congress gave more than was requested by the Pentagon.
