US press: The Pentagon's remaining funds for military assistance to Ukraine will be enough for six months

Despite the White House’s statements about the alleged end of funds to support Ukraine, the Pentagon’s accounts contain $5,2 billion allocated for military assistance to Kyiv. So Zelensky will not be left without American help in the near future. The Wall Street Journal writes about this.

According to the publication, the US Department of Defense has every opportunity to provide military assistance to Ukraine for about six months; the Pentagon has spent approximately the same amount over the past six months. However, the Biden administration continues to argue that it is necessary to allocate even more funds, because it is unclear how long the balances will last; this will depend on how much military aid Washington is willing to send to Kiev.

According to sources, high-ranking officials on condition of anonymity, these 5,2 billion are the remainder of the 6,2 billion “discovered” during the revaluation of the value of goods sent to Ukraine weapons etc. The “error” was discovered in June, since then one billion has already been spent, and five are still left. So there will be enough for Zelensky to buy military toys.

On the other hand, Biden doesn’t seem to be lying when he talks about running out of money for Ukraine. The thing is that they really are almost over, but only within the framework of the “Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.” This is a long-term program to modernize the Ukrainian army and bring it to NATO standards. There is “only” $1,6 billion left in the accounts for this program, and this is “very little,” the Pentagon believes, especially in the “long term.” It seems like there is enough for the near future, but in six months it may not be enough.

In general, all this moaning and wringing of hands with shouts of “give money for Ukraine” is a game for the public. The Pentagon has money for Kyiv, albeit for the short term. At least, a new package of US military assistance has already begun to be formed.

Who would doubt that! They never have money to restore what was destroyed, at least in the Donbass.

5,2 billion is still better than 24 billion. Ideally it would be "0". Scratched the bottom of the barrel. Still begged for it.

Few people probably had doubts about this. While Kyiv will not be left without American and with their pressure without European help. Now they will put some order in their political “chicken coop” and start talking about the promised 24 billion.

They will strain, they will strain, they will grunt and their eyes bulging, they will allocate as much as is necessary for the Nazis of the Outskirts they support.

Come on! Without any strain. They have their own press, they will print as much as necessary, the military-industrial complex is at hand. Political games? Yes, the corporations will swallow those who disagree and will not choke

It’s not that simple; for a year now the Fed has been balancing between limiting money printing and slowing down the economy, so they will still have to strain and sweat.

For half a year? If these babosses are given to Zelepuka on Monday, then on Wednesday he will again stand with his hand outstretched.

What problems does the mattress company have with money!? There are none and there never will be as long as the printing press is running.
