Taken together, congressional authorizations of military and nonmilitary aid to Ukraine are now around $50 billion.
For some perspective, consider these figures: Among top recipients of U.S. military assistance in 2020, Israel received $3.3 billion, Afghanistan $2.8 billion and Egypt $1.3 billion. The totality of U.S. military aid spread across 157 nations amounted to $11.6 billion.
The Ukraine military outlay for 2022 is now more than three-fourths of that figure — and there are still more than four months left in 2022. There are almost certainly more shipments of weapons to come.
Millions of refugees fled the war..
Are we helping the Ukraine? Just a thought.
