Total foreign aid given to Ukraine by all countries since the conflict began is over $100 Billion. The majority of aid is either military or financial, very little has been pledged for humanitarian efforts. The United States is by far the largest contributor, offering over $50 Billion to date, and recently pledged an additional $45 Billion. President Joe Biden initially proposed $37 Billion, but Congress felt it necessary to spend an extra $8 Billion.
The amount the United States spent on foreign aid during their tenure in Afghanistan isn’t this high. This amount excludes the funds spent on American troops. That means, in one year United States has spent more money on military aid to Ukraine than they did in their entire 20 year operation in Afghanistan. These numbers are inflation adjusted.
Red Pill Psyche: Since pulling out of Afghanistan the military industrial complex is short on business. Defense contractors and weapons manufactures make a killing during war. The fact that Congress increased the amount of funding initially proposed is a strong indication of how much influence the military industrial complex has over the US government.
