Lol just cut out a portion of the US military budget and give it to Ukraine, I mean like... what is a peacetime military doing with it anyway, just give it to the country at war.
Honestly that’s technically what’s been happening.
It’s not like the 50 billion in aid have been going towards producing new weapons, but its just the value of the unused ammo boxes, shells, tanks who were sitting around in warehouses, the US have been sending to ukraine.
So many people don't grasp this. They see the dollar amount like they could use it to hire a million ICE officers. No, it was literally a generation or more out of date and rotting in warehouses.
