11500 million dollars! How much assistance can the United States provide to Ukraine?

11500 million dollars! How much assistance can the United States provide to Ukraine? 11500 million is a huge figure, but in fact, in addition to some active equipment, there are some equipment in stock or retired by the US military. For example, the MIM-23 Eagle air defense missile, which was about to be unsealed to Ukraine recently, was equipped with the US military in the 1960s. Although it was upgraded many times, it was basically closed in 2005. This kind of stock, as netizens often say, will be destroyed sooner or later if it is not supplied to Ukraine.

I don't understand whether this kind of missile was included in the total aid according to the purchase price of the US military at that time or only at a discount. The United States retires 700 billion U.S. dollars in military spending every year and seals up a lot of equipment every year. The so-called11500 million aid of the United States has actually allocated tens of billions, and the rest are sealed weapons. How long the United States can help depends on how long Russia can fight. The United States has not sent the old m60 tanks to Ukraine, and NATO allies still have a large number of sealed weapons in stock.

In the third month after the war, the US Congress passed the loan bill to help Ukraine, which is the second time in history. The last time was 194 1 during World War II. The reopening of this bill this time is equivalent to the determination of the United States to help Ukraine fight another World War II. NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg has said that NATO will not let Russia win in Ukraine. Although there is no direct conflict between NATO and Russia, it shows that there is no upper limit for Western support for Ukraine.

It is impossible for the United States to let Russia completely control Ukraine, because it will almost lose most of the fruits of the victory of the Cold War. Assuming Ukraine is reintegrated into Russia, will the next step be the whole of Eastern Europe? In this way, American hegemony in Europe and even the world will be challenged. Russia can't afford to lose this war, and neither can America! So far, the United States has used all other assistance except direct participation in the fight against Russian troops. In addition to providing military assistance to Ukraine, it also provides refugee assistance and financial support. At the same time, isolate and condemn Russia internationally and implement comprehensive economic sanctions.

In fact, this kind of assistance has surpassed the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Although the United States was directly involved in the conflict between the two wars, there was room for compromise because the place where the conflict occurred was not the core area of contention between the two sides. Ukraine is the ebb and flow point of confrontation between Russia and the West, and the Russian-Ukrainian war is a national war between the two great powers, both of which are no way back. Only by striving for national strength can we win the people's tolerance for this war. Even it is right to regard this war as proxy war fought by Ukrainians for the United States, if we ignore that Putin launched this war of aggression!

In principle, Russia can use nuclear bombs to attack its own territory. In other words, the war can only be confined to Ukraine, so how can Ukraine win? Russia can launch missiles at home to attack Ukraine, but Ukraine cannot attack the launching point! Therefore, the Ukrainian people can wake up, end the war before winter comes, and stop more damage in time.
