For the ignorant Americans who don’t understand what US Aid to Ukraine actually looks like, please read and share this list:
– The vast majority of the military aid we’re providing Ukraine comes directly from existing U.S. military stockpiles.
– These weapons aren’t brand new; they’re mostly older stockpiles that the U.S. military planned to replace anyway.
– The funding approved by Congress actually goes to American companies (like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing) to build new, upgraded weapons for OUR OWN military.
– This helps the American economy:
-
Supports thousands of American jobs
Strengthens American manufacturing
Ensures our military gets newer, better weapons
– Ukraine gets help against Putin’s aggression. From his military’s horrific violations against innocent women and children.
– America gets stronger, safer, and better equipped in the process.
