Full list of Joe Biden’s US$16 billion military aid to Ukraine

0

The US Department of Defense claims US$15.8 billion “in security assistance” has been sent to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration, including more than US$15.1 billion “since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24”.

But before we get to the list of what that US$15.8 billion entails (and Team Biden has also indicated it will send aid money to pay the salaries of Ukrainian officials), here is something to consider:

The Pentagon just told its own soldiers to sign up for food stamps to keep their families fed during the ongoing high inflation caused by Team Biden.

As Raheem Kassam points out in a September 17 substack.com post: “Just like in Afghanistan, there’s no mention of what happens to all this stuff after the war is over, assuming any of it still exists. The likelihood is, just like America’s last forever war, it’ll end up in the hands of unsavory characters. Considering the recent bans on political opposition in Ukraine, as well as the forced national consolidation of media, you might say it already has”.

WorldTribune.com last month cited a report out of Ukraine which indicated that much of US aid never reaches Ukraine’s troops on the front line.
