Biden admin has announced HOW MUCH more $$$ worth of aide to Ukraine?

Here we go again!

Having solved all other problems at home and with an unlimited supply of money even in the wake of President Biden signing the ironically titled “Inflation Reduction Act” — all $740 billion of it — into law, the Biden State Department and Pentagon have announced nearly a billion dollars more in aid to Ukraine:

State Dept. spokesman Ned Price announced the fresh round of aid:

Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s statement is on the State Department’s website:

As part of those efforts, pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, today I am authorizing our nineteenth drawdown since September 2021 of U.S. arms and equipment utilizing this authority. This $775 million drawdown includes additional arms, munitions, and equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories, equipment that Ukraine’s forces have used so effectively for their country’s defense. This package brings total U.S. security assistance committed to Ukraine to approximately $10.6 billion since the beginning of this Administration.

The United States stands with our Allies and partners from more than 50 countries in providing vital security assistance to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. The courage and strength of Ukraine’s military and its people are extraordinary, and the United States will continue to provide additional systems and capabilities for Ukraine. These capabilities are carefully calibrated to make the most difference on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine’s position at the negotiating table.

The Defense Department site also lists the total so far (and it will no doubt increase):

In total, the United States has committed approximately $10.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration. Since 2014, the United States has committed more than $12.6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.

Is the U.S. going to have anything left for our own military?

When Biden was running for president he promised that if elected the days of Trump’s “America First” policies would be over, and he obviously wasn’t kidding.
