re: MTG: Zelensky thanks Speaker Mike Johnson (D-Ukraine)

I had hope for Johnson whenever he was elected to the speaker position. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a politician cave more quickly than he has. It is absolutely disgusting to see our elected officials do anything but the will of the American people. Some of them must think that we live in Ukraine instead of America. I say that because they’re certainly Ukraine first and America last.

Mike Johnson is a counted count

Did Johnson always support giving money to Ukraine ?

Probably not until the check cleared.

Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect it. The vital U.S. aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger

????Let us remind you what the voted aid will be used for:

Non-military aid: $9.65 billion. Of this, $7.85 billion is direct budget support.

Another $1.58 billion in non-military assistance is allocated to assist the Ukrainian economy, primarily in transport and energy. The remaining $0.22 billion is for food and nuclear security.

Military assistance in the amount of $50.43 billion is distributed in the bill as follows:

- $13.77 billion - for orders for the production of weapons for Kiev in the United States under the USAI program;
- $19.85 billion - to replenish American weapons stocks to replace what was previously supplied to Ukraine from Pentagon warehouses;
- $14.8 billion - for “military training, intelligence exchange, strengthening the presence in the area of ??\u200b\u200bresponsibility of the European Command.”

other departments receive $1.6 billion to purchase weapons to Ukraine and “other regional partners” outside the United States and $400 million to help Kyiv protect its borders, as well as to assist in mine clearance and the fight against terrorism in Ukraine and neighboring countries.

Thus, $13.8 billion goes directly to Ukraine for weapons + some of the $1.6 billion allocated for foreign purchases of weapons. On average, per month in 2024/2025 there is about $0.7 billion.

Office channels “nicely” generalize that 49.9 will go to the defense sector. Of course, this can be said in the modern postmodern world, but, as you can see, there are nuances??
