Thxs,
My comments:
Category 1(green) How much of that is cash? How much is paying for doctors, nurses, etc. How much is for supplies we provide and how much of that do we pay cash to rrr Ed place?
Category 2(brown) I take it that all of that is cash less administrative costs?
Category 3, his much is cash, his much is pay to our people to spy for Ukraine, tt transport weapons, etc? How many of these weapons we are giving them that do not need to be replaced?
Category 4, again how much do we spend to replace the donated weapons ?
Category, I suspect all of this is cash less administrative costs.

Some good news on the rebuild cost though. About 400 billion of Russian cash has been siezed via sanction. Currently sitting in Western banks drawing interest. More being collected everyday because the Russians arent very smart.
400 billion won't even be close to the amount spent on Ukraine.

Of course not. But there is something right about the Russian crime bosses cash being used to begin the rebuild.

If the reality was $400B was all that would be needed and I would never have to hear about Ukraine again I'd gladly sign off on that.
$400B will likely be the final tally of what was skimmed off the top when everything is said and done.

You want 21st century examples of US investment leading to economic growth, or just that war will automatically lead to growth? Iraq is actually a good example of what occurs when opportunities for US investment decrease, as they haven't had a positive FDI total in 10 years, and Iraq's GDP totals remain dependent on the security situation in the area. A similar example would be a country like Poland, which saw its GDP increase by 3 times after joining the EU, in comparison to its modest growth after the end of the Cold War.

Interesting and would signify an amphibious crossing
Thomas Theiner @noclador just dropped an interesting thread.
Yesterday he wrote that two more ‘Pentagon budget realignments’ have been released and they indirectly tell us what has been sent to Ukraine outside of previous declared deliveries. From the guys that watch the Pentagon every day, these budget realignments are for replacing equipment obtained in previously approved budgets but is for a number of reasons, no longer available for use by US forces.
So if an item has been sent to Ukraine, the Pentagon makes these budget requests for replacing it. Importantly, “Once equipment is delivered to Ukraine the Pentagon is allowed to buy replacements”. So it has to have been already delivered before the request can be made.
To get to the point, among the familiar items on this list such as munition, HIMARS missiles, GMLRS and TOW rockets, etc. was this:
“Per the Pentagon papers Ukraine received an Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System (IBCS) Engagement Operations Center (EOC).”
Significant because this is not second or third generation equipment from storage, this is a brand new ‘hyper modern’ system. Evidently the US Army doesn’t even have these yet.
What is it? Well, from @John_A_Ridge, the “EOC (Engagement Operations Center) will be able to provide C2 [Command and Control] to any and all Western radars and SAMs that Ukraine operates, bypassing their organic C2 centers.”
The ”Integrated Fire Control Network relays, which enable individual radars and launchers to be deployed 150+ km from the EOC. This can greatly increase the geographic area a fixed number of assets can defend.”
“It should also enable Ukraine to more directly integrate with US/NATO AEW&C aircraft and other sensors. In other words, it should automate the process through which NATO is able to pass tracking and targeting data to Ukrainian AD assets.” So evidently, this system would provide state of the software air defense from all threats.
Now... let’s revisit those pontoon bridges across the Dniper.

There have been several reports of Ukraine buying up vast quantities of cheap drones on the open market.
I've also recently seen several posts out of Ukraine alluding to their coming offensive and the use of drones during it

When Ukraine launches its offensive, I won't be at all surprised to see it supported by a massive drone campaign providing ground attack support.

Ukraine Update: Is Ukraine developing a 100,000-strong drone swarm attack?
quote:
Recently, it has become known that, in terms of drones, buyers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have bought up almost the entire market of FPV drone components in China, according to indirect estimates, by 50-100 thousand units. They have already trained more than a thousand operators of these models. They make them into kamikaze with a shaped charge warhead from RPG-7, or with a fragmentation grenade. And they have accumulated all this before the offensive.

KYIV, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Ukraine said on Friday it was setting up drone assault companies within its armed forces that will be equipped with Starlink satellite communications, as it presses ahead with an idea to build up an "army of drones".

Okay, you think the US is going to spend 10 to 20 times what they've spent so far. The US spent 2 trillion after twenty years in Afghanistan, and I'm skeptical this conflict will last that long. It really just seems like you don't understand the scale of the spending, if you are throwing out figures in the trillions so casually.
