Ukraine War Funding and Failed Russian Sanctions. Is the US Empire Shooting Itself in the Foot?

Ukraine War Funding and Failed Russian Sanctions. Is the US Empire Shooting Itself in the Foot?

This past weekend, April 20, 2024 the US House of Representatives passed a bill to provide Ukraine with another $61 billion in aid. The measure will quickly pass the Senate and be signed into law by Biden within days.

The funds, however, will make little difference to the outcome of the war on the ground as it appears most of the military hardware funded by the $61 billion has already been produced and much of it already shipped. Perhaps no more than $10 billion in additional new weapons and equipment will result from the latest $61 billion passed by Congress.
