That headline leaves off an important word

The package includes $128 million in new weapons and equipment and $197 in military aid under previously authorized drawdowns.

Million. $325 million

Next aid package for Ukraine is a PS4, a TV, and a copy of Ace Combat for fighter pilot training

I was like, "What are they going to do? Buy them a dozen tourniquets off Amazon?"

You should have gotten the money in your taxes those years, hopefully you didn't miss out on it entirely.

$325M, which should go without saying. But with our government, you can never assume.

I did like the thought of them sliding over an envelope with just $325 in it

I think you dropped a few zeros. It is $325000000, not $325.

That was the original headline, and to be fair I didn't notice the mistake myself. I'll change it rn.

Republicans can’t get together for that high of a spending cost.

Uhhh, sorry Ukraine, I’ll match that security assistance if you think an extra $325 would help. Or should they just start a GoFundMe campaign at this point?
