Top Comments of this video!! :3
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?

I hate when they say ā$60 billion in aidā because itās 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 donāt need that I BOUGHT for that. Most of what weāre sending in that $60 billion is $60 billion in military hardware value, all of stuff we donāt need anymore.

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.

Because I didnāt 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 Iām not making that up. 13:40 That is Paul Ryanās 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.
