On October 11th, the Kiel Institute for World Economy’s “Ukraine Support Tracker” headlined “US significantly expands support, Europe lags behind” and reported :
The US has again significantly expanded its pledges of support for Ukraine in recent weeks. European countries, on the other hand, have made only a few new pledges. In addition, the aid announced by EU countries has been slow to reach Ukraine. These are the results of the latest update of the Ukraine Support Tracker. The analysis on heavy weapons has been considerably expanded in this release.
In the period now additionally covered by the Ukraine Support Tracker (August 4 to October 3), the US made new pledges of just under 12 billion euros, bringing the total to just over 52 billion euros in military, financial, and humanitarian aid. EU countries and institutions expanded their commitments by only about 1.4 billion euros over the same period, and now collectively reach just over 29 billion euros.
One dollar =.97 euro.
Those $52B U.S. are expenses from 22 January 2022 up through 3 October 2022, about 8.3 months, or $6.25B per month; so, up through now, around $60B U.S. thus far has been spent by the U.S. Government in its war against Russia that is being waged by Ukrainian troops in the battlefields of Ukraine, which adjoins Russia. The prize for the U.S. Government would be to become enabled to place its missiles on Ukraine’s Russian border around 300 miles away from Moscow in order to blitz-nuclear annihilate Russia’s central command in a first-strike nuclear attack so that Russia will have only around five minutes to launch its retaliatory weapons (making that virtually impossible).
American weapons manufacturers also are profiting enormously from this, as are other U.S. international corporations, such as ExxonMobil, and Cargill. By contrast, U.S. consumers suffer greatly increased inflation from it.
Europe is being destroyed by it (huge inflation, etc.), and so the publics there are demonstrating against this war, but the war in Ukraine wasn’t at all a factor determining how Americans voted in the November 8th mid-term congressional elections — it was a non-existent priority to them: only 2% of the voters said that they were interested in “Foreign policy” matters at all. It’s a perfect electorate for the military-industrial complex, international corporations, etc., to control: they aren’t even interested in it, at all, perfectly manipulable by the billionaires and their media, in order for them to vote for the billionaires’ candidates of both Parties — and both Parties’ candidates supported (and voted in Congress for) this $60B federal expense; they’re like a pair of twins that have the same brain and are connected at the head, but far longer-lasting.
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
ooh look a picture from Grindr
US could place those rockets in the Baltic States and Poland without so much trouble. This is a war against EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, in the first place! The real losers are the Europeans. Russia gains from it, China gains from it, USA, Saudis and even some Africans gain a lot…
Russia does not gain a shit. Economic trade with Russia is game over , even in the future even after the war. Putin has lost big by invading Ukraine , including on major frontlines like Kyiv , Kharkiv and Kherson.
Y tu eres un payaso hijo de puta!!!
Nothing Putin has done in the past 20 years makes any sense.
Under Putin the Russians have destroyed their domestic industry and dismantled their army.
Thanks to Putin’s “reforms” the Russian army is incapable of defending Russians or Russian territory.
Ukraine have been loss around 120,000-150,000 death due to their human wave cannon fodder tactics, sad US and UK will sell their widows and daughters as prostitutes and sex slaves in US and UK lol

60 billion dollars is nothing for the US. Besides , American’s do not die in Ukraine against the Russians. The only thing the US does is deliver weapons to Ukraine. All those bombs explode on the heads of the Russian servicemen. Its like a proxy war. US army soldiers do not need to fight. This is a free gift of Putin to the Americans. Kill Russians in their tens of thousands by donating weapons to Ukrop army.
American’s do not die in Ukraine against the Russians…
except them dead ones the newspapers report….
that was easy.
Ukraine have been loss around 120,000-150,000 death not includes US and UK Poland soldiers pretends dressing as Ukraine soldiers due to their human wave cannon fodder tactics, sad US and UK will sell their widows and daughters as prostitutes and sex slaves in US and UK lol

FTX would like to thank everyone involved.
And here in the US tens of millions of senior citizens and poor families have had their food stamp benefits permanently slashed just when food products are at record highs; and all this to pay for Zelenskyy’s obsession with NATO membership.
Meh, everyone in Babylon is fat and happy, free and easy shit is everywhere, millions are streaming across the border to get their share.

When I have been in Seattle I saw many homeless Americans living on the streets. It was very cold. You dont have money to spend on them but you have money to send to the Nazis in Ukraine. You are a genius.
The U.S military industrial complex don’t give 2 fucks about the civilian population.

Republicans and Democrats are the same, time for a new party.
The US LOST 60 billion. 😂
So what?
The Americans can spend as many USD as they want, they control the computers and printing presses that create USD out of thin air.
The fact the Kremlin thinks it can bankrupt the Nation that hosts the Rothschild bank just shows how gullible and stupid Putin’s administration is.

And people wonder why Canada and the US are falling into a recession haha. Because they gave all their tax payer money to Ukraine when it should have went back into our economy. And average Americans and Canadians just keep putting the blame on Russia.. We just absolutely had to help Ukraine as much as possible right?…
What does usa get for its 60 billion investment as not doing it for free
Massive military contracts for all those ex soviet countries who dumped all their soviet armour in Ukraine
3 times the price lng gas supplied to Europe now they blew up all the Russian pipelines
Ruined all European economies as based around cheap Russian energy
Pocket money for US. Yearly GDP for Russia. Yearly GDP for Africa……………………………..LOL.
It does not matter, USA has plenty of money to spend in war since military industry sell much more than the spent money. Of course, USA normal people must not know about it, they just need to know that USA is always the good country with high morality and principles.
The U.S. Military Industrial Congressional Complex has sent more money to Ukraine, than Russia spends on its entire military budget in one year.
US already have 30trillion dollars debt and As of October 2022 ,their debt’s interest is 48 billion dollars , US don’t have money for paying their debt and debt’s interest, US must create a
48billion dollars new debt for paying 48billon dollars debt’s interest, which is 12% of the total federal spending. The national debt has increased every year over the past ten years.don’t mention US can pay their 30 trillion dollars debt that increase every year.
