      That’s a gross oversimplification.

      https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/13/us-national-security-bill-ukraine-israel-explainer

      About $30 billion for Ukraine military arms and military support.

      About $20 billion to support Ukraine government basic function, the private sector, and Ukrainian refugees.

      About $19 billion for Israeli arms, and $2.5 billion for related US military operations.

      The following is huge: $9.2 billion for humanitarian aid to Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, and some other war zones.

      About $8 billion for partners in the Indo Pacific to resist China encroachment

      $1.9 billion to Taiwan for arms

      $3.3 billion to build submarines in the US for Australia and the UK.
