Ukraine is running out of soldiers and can not produce the ammo required quick enough
I am not sure how all this got passed but nothing for the US border?
Well the idea is they spend that money on USA made ammos (among other thing).
So it's more like 60 billions to american defense companies than to Ukraine.
American profits and american jobs, not welfare on Ukrainians for the most part.
And yes they will need more in some time if the war doesn't end.
You keep your defense companies at max production level while weakening your enemy (any young Russian solder who dies means a weaker Russia) , with no American blood loss, sounds like a win.
I agree the scare about Putin taking over NATO countries is overblown, but the need to keep Putin bogged down in the war is very real.
