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.
Imagine 91.4 billion dollars going to the country that the tax payer money came from.
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.
Russia is the only antagonist here.
I disagree. NATO kept pushing military equipment closer and closer to Russia when that went against the initial agreement years back.
So this is a reason for a war of aggression?
I mean Hitler had the same narrative about Polen.

Nations are allowed to determine who they ally themselves with. I mean, Russia keeps pushing their version of NATO. Does that mean the US is allowed to start invading countries, with that excuse?
Can we invade Russia because they are “moving to close to us”?
Too little, too late Biden. You played for Russia for your entire presidency.
