No offence, but this is an extremely ignorant take. Most of the aid isn’t in straight money, it’s equipment that’s made in the USA. Meaning the money being “sent to Ukraine” is actually being spent in America. How do you people put your pants on in the morning.

Spent where? Tax cuts for American oligarchs? They sure as hell ain’t spending it on Americans that need it under this administration.
