I’m curious. If 100% of this money has to pass through the U.S. Government bureaucracy, then goes through a U.S. Defense Contractor’s manufacturing process, when will it actually reach Ukraine, or Israel, or Taiwan?
I recall a complaint during Impeachment 1.0 was President Trump’s delay on Ukraine aid back in 2019 jeopardized the bureaucracy’s ability to actually spend it before the fiscal year ended. If it did end before it was spent that money would no longer be available.
They also complained how much of a negative impact that delay had on actually delivering the materials and weapons to Ukraine.
I’m wondering if any of the war materiel this buys will be ready to ship prior to the Inauguration?
You can bet the orders have already been placed and the manufacterers have been told with a “wink” that they will be paid “soon”. Mark my words, the stuff is probably already in Europe waiting for the authorization to cross the border....
