I know nobody here will take the time to read H.R. 8035. Instead most will likely continue to believe it’s some kind of 60 billion dollar give away to Ukraine. ITS NOT. No way in hell would anyone in their right mind just give away 60 billion to a nation as corrupt as Ukraine. We also expect to be repaid. What it does is actually push our defense spending this year over the $1,000,000,000,000 dollar mark.

Specifically, the bill provides appropriations to the
Department of Defense (DOD),
Department of Energy science programs,
National Nuclear Security Administration,
Administration for Children and Families,
Department of State, and
the U.S. Agency for International Development.
supporting current U.S. military operations in the region,
the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative,
replacing defense articles that were provided to Ukraine,
reimbursing DOD for defense services and training provided to Ukraine,
the Foreign Military Financing Program,
economic support for Ukraine,
refugee and entrant assistance,
international narcotics control and law enforcement, and
the development and production of isotopes.

expand the authorities of the President to transfer defense articles and services from DOD to foreign countries or international organizations,

REQUIRE the President to transfer long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine,

The above is a big one because that feeble old man and his sidekick spank the boy wonder Jake Sullivan have so far refused to use presidential draw down authority and provide those missiles. In fact besides the 7 billion or so set aside for financial aid. The bill is actually forcing the president to get off his arse and start sending what he already had the authority to do but didn’t..

REQUIRE the President to enter into an agreement with Ukraine regarding repaying the United States for the economic assistance it has provided to Ukraine,

REQUIRE certain funds that are provided for Ukraine to be matched by other donors, and establish various oversight and reporting requirements for assistance provided to Ukraine.
