Pentagon — The United States will provide another $300 million in new military aid for Ukraine in a package that is expected to include munitions for Ukraine’s Patriot missile defense system, defense officials tell VOA.
The officials, who spoke to VOA on condition of anonymity ahead of the package’s expected release Wednesday, said the latest aid also includes rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and more tank ammunition and anti-armor capabilities ahead of an expected Ukrainian offensive.

China spends 300m and has something to show for it at the end of the day. New infrastructure. New universities. Scientific research. Forecast this out long term and it seems inevitable that they're going to surpass on every metric.
Now is the time to focus on self investment.
Gold guns and ammo. Russian lesson 9
I know a lot of people who have really been suffering financially for the last few years. I also know a lot of people who have had their dreams of owning a home and starting a family either crushed or pushed further back in life. Big cities around the US are struggling with homelessness, violence, crumbling infrastructure, pollution (ie E Palestine, Flint, etc etc.), massive personal debt, sky rocketing rent, and it goes on and on...I absolutely don't think all of this is the responsibility of the federal government, however, some of the problems--like inflation--are intimately connected to massive government spending.
I just find it incredible that there is always ALWAYS so much money to just dump into offense (er "defense") or to pour all over the world with or without accountability or even an expectation of return on investment.
When it comes to bullets and bombs abroad--for Repubs and Dems--there is always a blank check.
Russia spent 300 million on artillery shells and it has something to show for it

Think of it as not art Deco but art Russo
Ike said it some time ago: beware of the Military&industrial complex.
1. the Pentagon submits a budget.
2. Congress ALWAYS adds billions more.
3. when recently the budget cap was being negotiated between the Dems and GOP, Defense budget was not only OFF THE TABLE it was added to even in discussions on cutting costs!
We spend more yearly for defense than Russia, China, Germany, and the UK spend all together!
4. so yes: we have lousy infrastructure, housing, health care education etc etc
Fools
Fund wars
Go 2 hell
It's not funny when u self destruct
Fuck! How much money is Joe Biden going to send to those corrupt assholes in Ukraine? The US people cannot afford this!
