The US House of Representatives approved multibillion-dollar support for Ukraine

April 20 2024 29

On April 20, the US House of Representatives voted to provide $60,84 billion in aid to Ukraine and other allies. 311 members of the lower house of the US Parliament (210 Democrats and 101 Republicans) supported the bill, 112 Republicans were against it, and 1 abstained.

All amendments to the bill were rejected before the vote. Now the decision must be made by the Senate, the upper house of the American parliament. There is virtually no doubt that the bill will be approved there, since it was “born” in the Senate, where the Democrats have a majority. After this, it will still have to be signed by US President Joe Biden.

The document provides for: $23,2 billion to replenish the Pentagon's reserves (arsenals); $13,8 billion for the purchase of American weapons for transfer to Ukraine; $11,3 billion to strengthen US positions in the region in order to strengthen the defense capabilities of allies (training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and military presence in the countries of NATO’s eastern flank); $7,8 billion economic assistance to Ukraine in the form of a loan. The remaining amounts will go to smaller needs - control over drug trafficking, nuclear safety, strengthening law enforcement agencies and others.

A separate clause stipulates that within 45 days Biden will present to the US Congress a strategy for further support of Ukraine. It must be designed over several years, set specific and achievable goals, and identify and prioritize US national security interests.

It should be noted that the representative of the US Democratic Party, Rosa Delaro, criticized the Russian Federation. She told the hearing that Russia's actions "pose a threat not only to the security of Ukraine, but to the very core of Ukrainian and global democracy." Allegedly, the Kremlin is betting that it will be able to overcome the will of Kyiv, Washington and the West as a whole. Therefore, the United States is obliged to prove to Moscow that it is wrong. If Ukraine does not receive support, it will lose, and the United States will lose authority.

Our allies face existential threats, and our friends and enemies around the world are watching to see how America responds. Vladimir Putin is watching. Our allies, NATO and all of Europe are watching what course America chooses. We must stop Putin now

- Delaro said.

They also voted for aid to Israel and Taiwan. The total amount of support for the three states, including Ukraine, will be $95 billion.

Total 7,8 billion in debt. What's wrong?

  You don’t understand (and it’s not reflected in the post), the debt will be recorded for the entire 61 yards. It's not very detailed here.
  Replenishment of the Pentagon's reserves is payment for previously delivered equipment from arsenals. They sent the old stuff, now they will produce new weapons and deliver them to the Pentagon.
  11,3 yards - payment for US intelligence activities and not only (satellites, aircraft, UAVs), instructors, the entire training process in general (not only the US), equipment maintenance (not available to the Ukrainian Armed Forces), etc.
  7,8 yards - to the non-military economy. The USA has long covered half of the budget (salaries for management, doctors/teachers, pensions). But this time, according to this article, it is noted that this money cannot be used for pensions. Moreover, due to the lack of handouts from the United States, Ukraine spent 4 yards from its budget on the purchase of weapons. Which was not included in the budget. So that leaves 3,8 yards. This is until the end of the year. And they need 3,7 per month.
  The remaining more or less sane Ukrainian analysts have been discussing these figures for about a month now. The mood is funereal, especially considering that (in their opinion) this help is the last.
  For weapons - 11,8 yards. Taking into account logistics, this is 10,5 - 11 yards. Until the end of the year this is nothing.
  Especially considering rising prices. On the air of Mikhail Chaplyga, I heard that at the beginning of 2022. a 155 mm projectile cost 1 euros, and as of February 200. - 2024 euros. And he volunteers, so he knows the prices.
  It should be taken into account that the United States and the World Bank ordered their companies (and made advances last year) for additional production of these shells. And these are new premises, equipment, orders for raw materials,
  materials and components. The firms prepared, and last week explosions occurred at both firms, 1-2 days apart. Well, it was a coincidence, an accident.
  In short, real help compared to previous years is just a joke.

Almost the entire amount will remain in the United States. Some of it will return to the budget in the form of taxes. The rest can be considered as government investment in its own, American, economy - which is also profitable. This way you can highlight a lot. And for a long time.

In fact, today the plans of the 5th column collapsed.
This means that the deal for negotiations and delimitation (freezing) has fallen through.
along the Surovikin line. Let's exhale.
Gentlemen, Zelensky was kicked into battle.
This means that patriotic Russia can calm down that there will be no betrayal.
That there will be no bleating about negotiations with neo-Nazis.

All. War until the victorious end of one of the sides.
And no NATO will interfere.
Now the army just needs to liberate Donbass.
The British and Australians rushed to buy lithium on the Surovikin line.
It's burnt, they'll lose their money.

  This week the Anglo-Saxons are protecting their assets in Ukraine. That is, their property and not the Ukrainians. So assistance will continue to be provided.

Obviously, the United States could no longer stall for time while their little dog was being severely beaten with tarpaulin boots, asking after each blow, “Where is your owner, biting bastard?”, right outside this owner’s fence. The dog, whose owner told FAS, squeals heart-rendingly throughout the street. The neighbors gathered around and smiled quietly, because... They hate not only the owner, but also the dog.

And so I had to do something. There will be deliveries, of course. But we are unlikely to hear any goals proclaimed, such as “we will win”, “Ukraine will achieve victory”, because then the moment of truth and responsibility for the decision to push Ukraine and Ukrainians further to death will come again.

It is important for Russia that the country will be able to further develop in the Northern Military District regime, the army will be able to introduce transformations for the war of the future. The only point that is particularly important in the context of “time is on our side” is losses. It is necessary to strive for the ability to destroy more and lose less (people and equipment are not a pity). Look for new opportunities for individual protection of a fighter, allocate significant resources to counter those types of defeat that lead to the greatest losses on our part. Order new ways to quickly evacuate from the battlefield. Perhaps the capsule is a quadcopter, arriving when the coordinates are called and flying away with the wounded person 500 meters to the rear or further. Ground-based drones, which is already being done. Mobile armored first aid stations.

But most importantly, the ability to convert money into manpower. Why not, people can also fight for Russia (or against the West) for money.

  The only way to reduce losses and save human lives is to actually start fighting for real and stop having illusions about the possibilities of reaching an agreement. And this is like a historical example.
  From the statement of the Soviet government to the government of Japan:
  
  True to its allied duty, the Soviet Government accepted the proposal of the Allies and acceded to the Declaration of the Allied Powers of July 26 this year.
  The Soviet Government believes that such a policy is the only means capable of hastening the onset of peace, freeing peoples from further sacrifices and suffering, and enabling the Japanese people to get rid of the dangers and destruction that Germany experienced after its refusal to unconditionally surrender.
  In view of the above, the Soviet Government declares that from tomorrow, that is, from August 9, the Soviet Union will consider itself in a state of war with Japan.

Ukraine must now mobilize all youth from the age of 18, otherwise there will simply be no one to control American weapons, and Russia must launch a nuclear strike on Lvov so that the enemies will not be discouraged.... the entire fascist essence of the United States has become obvious, Israel and Taiwan combined have been singled out in two times less than the ukrofashists ... I remember Hitler chose who to attack, England or Russia, the wrong choice ruined him, now the United States will lose all hope of regaining Rusal Norilsk Nickel NLMK RusHydro and other assets in the Russian Federation, the Iron Curtain is falling again, but this better, the trends of the LGBT agenda are more dangerous even than American investments

The British widely publicized the Istanbul Agreements in the USA and Britain and gave them the name Obscene, Surrender of Ukraine, Racism, Horror of Europe...
In addition, the Parliament adopted a Resolution recognizing the Holodomor of 32-33 as an act of Genocide.
Following this, Canada and Australia, as governors-general, began programs to allocate weapons and funds to Ukraine.
In addition, dirt poured from TV screens against Trump and MAGA (an anti-Ukrainian organization in the Republican Party).
Trump's rating plummeted, Republicans began to abandon him, Speaker of the House of Representatives Johnson deftly changed his shoes on the fly and made a pro-Ukrainian speech.
With a crunch, the Republican Party broke in half, 112 against aid to Ukraine, and 111 in favor, with no abstentions (220 for Democrats).
Major Grinn, who maintained the regime of subordination to Trump, rushed around the hall like a burnt cat, threatened Johnson with impeachment, resignation from speaker... but the train left.
One might say that it was broken by a number of prominent senators and directors who returned from negotiations. In their words, Russia argued, give a short period of time and the Ukrainian military will line up as prisoners, and the population will get Russian passports. They assured that in two to four months and everything... would be decided. But seven months have passed with zero funding and blocking of assistance from EU allies in aviation, drones and shells...
It was insulting to do nothing further...
This is a resounding slap in the face to Trump on the eve of the elections, they write in the USA and Canada...

Didn't you study math? The West accounts for 60% of world production and Russia 1,2%..
The West's loss of a trillion is an unfortunate misunderstanding, but Russia's loss of a trillion dollars is the annual gross product of the entire population!
US gdp is 22 trillion, EU 18,5 trillion, Japan, Canada, Turkey, Australia, Israel, South Korea is another 11 trillion... With Russian 1,2-1,4...
Do you...notice the difference???

Nice man! Are you reading the text about $60 million???
Do you think thousands of shells, planes, tanks won’t interfere with NATO?
Will it all fly by? These are instructors, technical staff, pilots, positioning from Mars will remain???

  Hiker is right about the main thing: there will be no agreement on US terms. As for the world economy, the Russian Federation has always been famous for the undervaluation of the ruble. and let it develop its own for the sake of its own, than we will sell absolutely everything for green candy wrappers. Despite its development, its own economy is in full swing due to sanctions.

The high-tech weapons transferred to Ukraine require a minimum of trained specialists (it is clear where they will come from, only some are local).
A nuclear strike on Lvov - well, it’s Russian roulette - will the nerves of the Western Nuclear Countries withstand it? USA, Britain, France, Israel... they will probably survive!!! But the fact that the war will move to a different plane with a range of destruction to the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka is certain.
