Oilfield Rando Takes Section of Ukraine Aid Bill APART Point-By-Infuriating-Point in DAMNING Thread
Keep in mind that this is just one section of this grotesque misuse of our tax dollars.
Take a gander as he breaks it down:
Sec. 101 of the Ukraine Aid bill:
-
$1 billion slush fund for the Secretary of Defense.
-
$250 million slush fund for the Director of National Intelligence
****Title III of the Ukraine Aid bill:
$481 million for refugee and entrant assistance.
The Administration for Children and Families gives this money to the NGOs coordinating the border invasion. Incredible. Thanks,
Speaker Mike Johnson ***
Title IV of the Ukraine Aid bill: funds appropriated to the President:
-$39 million for USAID operating expenses
-$25 million for "transition initiatives"
-
$7.9 BILLION for an "economic support fund"
-
$1.6 BILLION for "Assistance to Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia"
The Ukraine Aid bill includes:
-$300 million for Department of State "International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement" programs.
-$100 million for ‘‘Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs’’
But remember. We're just sending bullets!
The Ukraine Aid bill also recharges President Biden's Foreign Military Financing fund with $1.6 billion.
The Ukraine Aid bill raises the amount of military and equipment/services President Biden can draw down from the US military and provide to a foreign country, from $100 million to $7.8 BILLION
The Ukraine Aid bill raises the amount of military training/US gov't agency inventories the President can draw down and provide to foreign countries, from $200 million to $400 million
The Ukraine Aid bill doubles the limit of what the President can draw down from the US military and provide to foreign countries under 22 U.S. Code 2348a, raising it from $25 million to $50 million
The Ukraine Aid bill expands direct loans made under section 23 of the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Military Financing Program.
Amount of each is raised from $4 billion to $8 billion, and loans can be made to all "major non-Nato allies, and the Indo-Pacific region"
Section 505 of the Ukraine aid bill: We're sending them long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems.
It's fine. This is fine. I wonder what those will pull on the black market.
Good news, that $7.9 billion "Economic Support Fund" that Ukraine can use for whatever it wants besides pensions? Our government is gonna do its very best to see how it's spent, "to the maximum extent practicable". Or we'll just have a third party do it. Whatever.
