    Wait, how much did they give Ukraine?

      Up to the middle of January 2023 the US has lent Ukraine $47B, which excludes the value of the weapons and equipment provided.

      I put emphasis on the lending part because this isn’t a giveaway. It’s lend-lease for the 21st century. Ukraine is and will be forced to sell off whatever means of production it still has left after this war to US capitalists in a desperate effort to pay this money back. Back in the WWII era lend-lease was used by the Americans to take over from the British as global hegemon and bring capitalist Europe under its wing.
