The U.S. military just told it’s own soldiers to use food stamps to keep their families fed during this ongoing period of high inflation, caused by the Biden regime’s own flawed economic analysis, coupled with the establishment’s COVID-19 lockdowns, and the war in Ukraine.
Which is why the full list of the $15bn+ in aid being sent to Ukraine by the U.S. government is likely to hit harder in the solar plexus.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense, there has been a whopping $15.8 billion “in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration, including more than $15.1 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24.”

That’s… a lot of stuff. And 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.

At least they found a way of stuffing their pockets full of money without killing a lot of Americans. But I don’t think the Russians are going to be to happy about it.
oughta put some of those PGMs right up Davos’ ass.
The Complex is generating their Christmas list for replacements for what NurembergJoe is GIVING AWAY right now.
They still have a long way to go to catch up to what they gave to Afghanistan. As far as food stamps and the military I say let them eat cake.
Why all the wars!?!?
To test and sell all the wonderful ways to kill people by the military industrial complex… Without wars you can’t test ur shit…
Wars usually occur during a financial collapse. Gotta distract the plebs somehow.
That is some huge stuff that will never get to destination. In-frickin-sane.
I’d rather see the list of what has been funneled back to the bank accounts of the Biden crime family and the Pelosi, Graham, Romney, etc. crime families.
“Thank you for your service” is not doing anyone any favors.
If by unprovoked, you mean Russia saying I don’t want NATO pointing missiles at my capital and then NATO proceeds to move forward with pointing missiles at Russias capital.
The Ukrainians have a way to catch up with what Old Joe left in Afghanistan, since that was estimated at 80 Billion
worth of armaments.
What ever it takes to save the bankrupt shithole (AKA the USA) and the ability to print the worlds money. We must be able to export $1,000,000,000,000.oo a year of printed money to buy foreign junk or we are totally vucked. Long live Putin
this article says 16billion but i thought that we had given them 40+ billion ?
i just read an article about the deal schumer & manchin made to get manchin to vote 4 the big tax bill–
the catch is that it funnels $700 billion to biden to dole out as he pleases–
That’s a shitload of weapons.
Surely, with so much advanced firepower, the Ukies must be kicking Russia’s ass. Right?Recapturing Crimea surely is around the corner. Right?
