As far as we can tell, the U.S. appropriations for Ukraine are in the ballpark of $174 billion by early 2025 (congressional supplemental appropriations FY2022–FY2024).

It’s also worth mentioning that the drive-by media has spent a great deal of time making sure that we don’t forget about Ukraine in the news. We also have troops all around the globe and currently with many of them surrounding the country of Venezuela.
Out of sight
Did I happen to mention that there is still a large group of hurricane-ravaged Americans in the Carolinas and Tennessee who need the help of America as well? “Out of sight out of mind,” right?

Hundreds were killed by Hurricane Helene with bodies still appearing, even 16 months after the event, and yes, former homeowners are still living in tents, way too many with their children . . . Yet, crickets.
