US announces $5.9 billion in military and budget aid to Ukraine
Summary
The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.
This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.
Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.
Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.

Agreed though I struggle with it. It's not the best choice but it's better than nothing. So by default, better world than before the decision. Still struggling though with separating a good deed from way too little way too fucking late and, sorry I can't stop myself, a decision by way too fucking old a fart thst won't last to see the end of the next four years.
And again Tha ks for he call to civil ty and objectivism. Just do fucking hard...
/ed: adjusted for correct English figure of speech. "too little too late"
Send it all today or I guarantee you Trump will find some excuse to withdraw it.
Trump would never! /s

WTF, they cut funding to the IRS, they could have easily increased funding and it would pay for itself.
They could literally afford to give everyone 2’000 dollars. You saw Trump do it to get reelected.
They just don’t want to. Never believe their budget resictions.
“We can’t afford it” = “We think not taxing corporations and billionaires is more important”
Too little, too late Biden. You played for Russia for your entire presidency.
Imagine 91.4 billion dollars going to the country that the tax payer money came from.
Imagine if the US didn't do a lend-lease deal to the USSR during WWII... There wouldn't be a Russia today. Most of Europe would be known as "Germany". And Japan would be ruling most of the Pacific.
The U.S. gave a ton of military aid to countries getting invaded by the Nazis too.
What a terrible idea, am I right?
It's a proxy war so the US military industrial complex and politicians can make more money. It's unfortunate two countries are fighting but it's not the problem of the US people. Also you can't fix other's problems if you (the USA) have too many problems of your own that need attending to first. I would not compare this to WWII, and hopefully it doesn't turn into a nuclear WWIII because of the US antagonizations.
