I have to shake my head. $37 billion is a huge amount to the media when discussing other countries. And it really is a large chunk of cash to the vast majority of countries.

"Russia's federal revenue soared to a record $320 billion in 2023" Massive.

Drop in the bucket compared to the US "budget" however.

To put it another way, we're looking at sending another $95B to Ukraine. Russia's yearly federal revenue was $320b.

*It looks like Ukraine's TOTAL revenue for 2019 was $37 billion. And we have sent them how much the past couple years?

How many dead Russians for the 100+ Billion we have sent to Ukraine?

I recall the good old days when Uncle *Joe threatened to withhold a measly 1B if they didn't fire a certain prosecutor. Less that 10 years ago.

My how times have changed.

Putin is laughing his arse off. This administration and congress owes him a debt of gratitude for allowing the money laundering machine to go on this long. And... Why would he quit? This war is good for both.
