So…More Money to Ukraine.

It’s getting exhausting.

It feels like it has been an eternity since Russia decided to invade Ukraine.

After the winter olympics, right?

That’s around when it all went down, and nothign has really changed in that regard since, has it? It’s been the stalemate so many people predicted it would be, with perpetual, years-long conflict that really shows no sign of stopping.

And of course, U.S. money is at the heart of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against the U.S. giving aide to a country that has been attacked. The people of Ukraine did not ask for this, and it’s heartbreaking to see instability once again plaguing that region of Europe.

But…I certainly think it’s well within reason to ask how much more taxpayers should be expected to put into this conflict that it undeniably seems as though we’re simply prolonging.

And now…more money is on the way.

Alexandra Hutzler with ABC News writes:

“President Joe Biden said on Wednesday the U.S. will begin sending military equipment to Ukraine within “a few hours.”

Biden, in remarks from the White House, announced he signed the $95 billion foreign aid package that passed the House and Senate with bipartisan support.
