This isn’t honest and I hate to see it. We aren’t “sending $61b to Ukraine.” The package buys from US businesses weapons and replenishes 🇺🇸 weapons stocks. It cuts the Biden request for the economic part down and eliminates pensions. It requires a win strategy and benchmarks.

I have made the ROI argument. Arming Ukraine and and enabling it to reclaim and defend its sovereignty is directly helping the U.S.A. We are learning how our weapons perform against a “peer” army, upgrading weapons, and *improving our capacity to produce munitions at scale.*

Nobody wants to admit that the ROI of arming the Ukrainians and the Israelis is orders of magnitude greater than the ROI of paying the wealthiest generation in history to stay OUT of the workforce during an inflation-generating labor shortage.

One of the silliest claims by the fringe is that support for Ukr, Israel etc is driven by the “evil military industrial complex”. US support for allies under threat is forcing a very reluctant USG to make acquisition reforms and invest in the under resourced DIB.
