>The Pentagon on Friday confirmed that the U.S. has provided $8 billion in security assistance since Russia’s invasion in February, but Washington has committed to spending far more.
>Earlier this year, Congress committed to spending $54 billion in traditional foreign aid and military assistance in a move to help squash Putin’s offensive.
>It remains unclear how much the U.S. will end up spending in 2022 on countering Putin’s aggression, but, according to information provided by ForeignAssistance.gov, the U.S. has already spent more on security assistance to Ukraine than during the first 5 years in Afghanistan. By the end of 2006, the U.S. had spent more than $7.4 billion in its fight against the Taliban.
The real question here then is why did they spend so little going after Osama and instead put all the money into invading Iraq instead?
