After more than a half a year of delay, Congress passed a Ukraine aid bill on April 23. Soon, billions of dollars of military assistance will be flowing into the country, and the United States will begin building infrastructure to produce even more materiel. This video explores how this will change the war on the ground and why exactly it took so long for the legislation to pass.

Because I didnā€™t want this to turn into a 30+ minute monster (and also I am facing a deadline), there is a lot of nuance missing from this video. Here are some extra notes: 6:24 There is a lot of debate whether using ATACMS would be a wise military idea. My description here is not an assessment of that, just that there is going to be renewed attention to the bridge. 9:02 By more sophisticated measures of ideology, Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) is the pivotal voter in the Senate. The filibuster-proof pivot is John Hoeven (R-North Dakota). 10:10 Iā€™m not making that up. 13:40 That is Paul Ryanā€™s official Speaker of the House portrait, but you would be forgiven if you thought it was AI drawn. 14:01 That is supposed to be 108, not 109. 20:44 Ganon has been vanquished. 21:21 Because the president is the commander-in-chief, trying to work around a veto would be difficult in practice. Also, Biden still needs to sign the bill, but that is the easiest part.

As a former DoD employee who did indeed carry logs, I can confirm that it is as hard as it looks, especially if youā€™re taller than everyone else thatā€™s helping you carry the log.

This is like buying a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid $2,000 (the price of the new phone).

On a positive note, the delay from Congress motivated the EU to increase support for Ukraine.

Finally someone explaining correctly what the value in the bill truly stands for. Most Americans just think that Ukrainian Gov will be given 60bn in Cash that would be better served to fight the inflation or housing crisis. I always ask them, how tf does old artillery helps you with your ham getting more expensive?

William Spaniel is probably the best at breaking down what is happening in Geopolitics. Better than a Netflix series.

I checked it, and usually, almost always in my case, if someone says "he went to prison for something I don't want to say." it means child didler.

Johnson is not supporting Ukraine. Johnson is protecting Johnson. Don't suggest that he changed his mind because Ukraine is losing ground. Johnson's speakership was at threat and he didn't want to go out like McCarthy.

Somehow unsurprised to learn that Wyoming only has 2 sets of escalators. Very on-brand.

I hate when they say ā€œ$60 billion in aidā€ because itā€™s a very small but misleading change in language. If I buy a new phone, and I give you my old one that I bought for say, $500, did I give you $500? No, I gave you something I donā€™t need that I BOUGHT for that. Most of what weā€™re sending in that $60 billion is $60 billion in military hardware value, all of stuff we donā€™t need anymore.

I'm reminded of Winston Churchill's attributed remark that "The Americans always do the right thing, but only after they have exhausted all other possibilities" or words to that effect.

The logistical chain is short. The components being shipped are as simple as it gets. It's predominately ammo for already existing systems like Patriots, HiMARs, western artillery, etc. It's smalls arms fire, it's GMLRs and ATACMs, it's Patriot missiles, it's 155mm artillery shells and DPICM. Yes, Ukraine will get more Bradleys, F-16s, Strykers, etc. But right now the focus is on ammo and it will start to filter out to the front line in a matter of days.

Not sending ATACMS in 2022 was a sellout move. Ukraine was begging for them and only heard crickets from the Administration
