"Since February 2022, Canada has committed over $19.5 billion in total assistance to Ukraine, including $4.5 billion in military assistance. "

"Canada is investing $1.3 billion to strengthen its border security and immigration system. This includes funding for new technology, personnel, and canine teams." This is on top of "The Canada Border Services Agency ( CBSA ) is receiving $63.9 million in the 2024 to 2025"

The $5B is from seized Russian assets, maybe.

The F16 simulators and landing guidance needs to come out of export restrictive US

So 25 LAVs whoop whoop

Larry Johnson says that some of his ex CIA buddies have found billions of dollars diverted from Ukraine in Caribbean banks. One of them has filed a whistleblower complaint about 48 billion dollars that has been ciphoned off by the Zelensky regime.

The 5 bil ain't coming from seized Russian assets. No one has touched that money yet and I doubt anyobne ever will. That's coming out of our pockets.

I don't have a problem with spending on Ukraine. It's either they fight Russia, or we will be fighting Russia. It is money well spent, outside of some corruption.

Plus most of the $$value has been equipment that is being replaced or scrapped. So, a lot of the so called donations were really mostly trash.

Just like down south, a lot of money is spend in the US (maybe even some 'red' states?).

Nearly 70% of the $175 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine since Russia’s 2022 invasion was spent in the U.S. or on U.S. forces, according to a study by the American Enterprise Institute published in May 2024.

Zelensky is now claiming that he's only seen 75 billion of the total amount and that he doesn't know what hsappened to 100 billion.

Also hearing that Russioa might cut the Americans in on the mineral wealth in the territories they have conquered which amounts to aropund 60% of Ukrain's mineral wealth. It's heavily concentratewd in the easyt of the country.

The war could be over in a few weeks. This smacks to me of shoveling money out the door at the last minute. And there isn't much in the way of guns and ammunition left in Western stockpiles to send over, With the deindustrialization and the financialization of Western economies in the post cold war era we no longer have the surge capacity to ramp up production. We have basically shot our wad while Russia continues to pump out product at a rate orders of magnitude greater than Western countries because the nmantained their post WW2 capacity and continued to update and modernize. Russia always believed they would have to fight NATO on the Ukrainian steppe one day as they fought invaders there so many times through history. They lost 27 million people the last time out and they are paranoid.

And we won't be fighting Russia over here. The have a landcentric miltary geared to fighting in their own neighborhood. And besides, the day of transporting large troop contingents across oceans are over. Surface ships are sitting ducks for high speed missile and drone attacks. Anything transporting troops to go invade North America across the Pacific is getting sunk.

Putin offering aluminum to the US, hmmmmm, Quebec and BC supply roughly 60% of the aluminum the US imports.

Trudeau is outspending continental Europe on a war that's arguably already lost.

I did try the meme thread first eh Corn.
