The Ukraine aid bill is really impressive. Just excerpts of it: - Allocation of more than $60 billion, most of it is military aid, especially the "Operation and Maintenance" (Defense-Wide) section with $27.9 billion makes the largest package - It also includes support for the civil society of around $7.9 billion (section "Economic Support Fund") - It is provided as a loan, but the President has the ability to cancel 50% of that loan (Cancelation of Indebtedness) after November 15, 2024 - Funds are available at least until the end of this year, but certain parts such as missile procurement are valid even until September 2026 - 45 days time to lay out a strategy to combat Russian aggression - It calls to provide a strategy to hasten Ukrainian victory against Russia’s invasion forces in a manner most favorable to United States interests and objectives (possibly the first time that "victory" is explicitly expressed in a formalized manner) - Transfer of long-range ATACMS, President might object when he sees national security compromised Overall it is a very balanced but still powerful bill.

@Tendar Where is the section securing the US border?
@green_KC1 @Tendar Equating the US border issues with Ukraine literally fighting to survive as a nation is really really very ridiculous. MAGA are a pox
