Summary

The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.

This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.

Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.

Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.

      Agreed though I struggle with it. It’s not the best choice but it’s better than nothing. So by default, better world than before the decision. Still struggling though with separating a good deed from way too little way too fucking late and, sorry I can’t stop myself, a decision by way too fucking old a fart thst won’t last to see the end of the next four years.

      And again Tha ks for he call to civil ty and objectivism. Just do fucking hard…

      /ed: adjusted for correct English figure of speech. “too little too late”
