US funding for war in Ukraine in 9 months:
Mar: $ 13.6 billion
May: $ 40b
Nov: $ 37.7b: Biden's new request
That $ 91.3 billion is 33% more than Russia's *total military spending for the year*
It's *double* the US's average annual expenditure for its own war in Afghanistan

If we project out to a year, that would be $120 billion each year to fuel the US proxy war in Ukraine.
That's roughly 1/8 of the entire US military budget for the year: by far the world's largest.
Congrats to Raytheon, General Dynamics and CIA!

Don't worry: I'm sure these billions and weapons flying around DC and Ukraine are being meticulously accounted for.
That's why Dems and GOP united to block @RandPaul's amendment for oversight.
No need! Raytheon, CIA and Ukraine are famous for transparent, honest accounting.

(In case anyone objects to calling what's happening in Ukraine a "US proxy war," that's not a real debate. Top US officials and the most influential defense policy operatives in DC call it that repeatedly, as @NoahCarl90 documented here, because it is):
