US House of Representatives passes new record defense budget for fiscal year 2023

A new record defense budget for fiscal year 2023 was passed by the US House of Representatives, the vote took place the day before. Now the document will go to the Senate for consideration, it is expected that the senators will also approve it and this will happen before the end of the year.

According to published data, the amount of US military spending for 2023 will be 847,3 billion dollars, and taking into account another 10,6 billion, which is also planned to be spent on defense needs, but outside the budget, the total amount will be 857,9 billion. This is an absolute record throughout the existence of the United States. Last year's 778 billion already look somehow "poor".

In addition to the amount of military spending itself, the new budget contains several provisions regarding the confrontation with Russia. Let's start with the fact that 6 billion from the US budget was allocated for the fight against Russia in Europe. In addition, Washington imposes a permanent ban on the exchange of information with Russia on missile defense systems, will seek Russia's exclusion from a number of international organizations, in particular the G20, measures will be taken to reduce dependence on Russian energy resources of US military facilities in Europe, etc. etc.

They did not forget to include aid for Ukraine and Taiwan in the budget, although it was distributed somehow unevenly - only 800 million for Kyiv and 10 billion for Taipei. At the same time, the US Treasury asked Congress for 14,5 billion for direct financial support to Ukraine. This amount should help Ukraine make ends meet between January and September 2023.

The United States has provided Ukraine with $13 billion in direct financial assistance in addition to military assistance. We have also requested Congress to provide an additional $14,5 billion in aid in the first nine months of 2023.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said.

Saloreich will be overwhelmed with weapons and mercenaries.

The Pentagon in its line - 800 million to support the war - is obviously strictly accountable! And the Ministry of Finance is 14,5 billion - this amount can be cut !!!

will be 857,9 billion. This is an absolute record for the entire existence of the United States. Last year's 778 billion already look somehow "poor"

Inflation in the US for the year has already reached 9,1%.
That is, last year's 778 is like today's 848.
So it's not so "pale". Yes, they raised it a bit. But taking into account that a significant part of these funds will be scrolled through Ukraine not by barter, but by bank transfer (so that they can then settle in the right pockets), they even lowered, perhaps. What is strange - they got rid of junk in warehouses, it's time to fill them up, spurring the economy

Badly. I had hope that the Republicans would block the budget, but they are smeared with one world. It is necessary to squeeze the non-brothers for the winter, until the green again appears.

True, it was distributed somehow unevenly - Kyiv only 800 million, and Taipei 10 billion. At the same time, the US Treasury asked Congress for 14,5 billion in direct financial support for Ukraine.

14,5 billion is to show and then return back
800 million, and Taipei 10 billion - this will really be spent.
China is probably all clear now ..

Judging by the annual increase in the budget, they have many workshops with machines for printing money, one cannot cope with such a volume, it is not easy to print a ton of paper a day.

[Graz]

What does it mean ? This means that the printing press will be turned on again at full

The good news is that there is no money in the military budget for a war with Russia, cheap, free weapons are over, and expensive Western weapons cost (for a war) at least 100 billion, so ukrov is being drained slowly.

Well, it’s a sin for Kyiv to be offended if we sum up all the military and financial assistance, and even from the EU, then it will be enough for several Taiwans. But the toad probably still crushed decently. It is one thing to steal from 800 million, and another from 14 billion.

[Leonid67]

Yeah ... the war with such alignments will last more than one year. Although for me and for many objectively thinking people, sponsoring by the West was not surprising, nor was the fact that they would pull all the strings on Russia, such as the Kuriles, Central Asia, Karabakh, Transnistria, etc. and Syria also hangs on us if anything, it’s difficult when indecisive opportunists sit in the leadership

[vadim_ivanov]

If only this whole lavender and for the benefit of the development of all mankind, and so every year, maybe they would already live on other planets, and there were no sores at all. ehhhh .pin dos.e wretched miserable mind and intellect

Anyone who watches the Merikos wars, both in the outskirts and the like, knows an interesting relationship ... as soon as the exchange ratio approaches one in ten, the operation is curtailed, at one in three, the number of insurance payments makes the Merikos flee from there faster than their own squeal .. this the war could have been resolved in the first week by destroying 250 high-ranking mercenaries, who opened the corridor to Poland. at the very beginning ... there the insurers would have fled in horror from the mercenaries and the state would have had to insure the freaks! Like ours, insurance only from the budget. .the solution to the war in mass deportation in the form of a cargo of 200 and 300 European and African trash. On military review they often give material ... the exchange is not yet one to three or even ten. .the rest is the same consumable as ours!
