Recently, many of America's allies have been overjoyed. Because the foreign military aid that has been stuck in the US Congress for a long time has finally passed the review. According to the information released by the Senate of the United States Congress, the total foreign aid allocation of 95 billion US dollars will be divided into several parts to support Ukraine, Israel and other allies, of which Ukraine alone has received more than 60 billion US dollars, which can be said to be the big winner. It's just that the final use of this huge amount of money is not so simple, and how much will be used on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine needs to be a question mark. Former Polish Army Commander Waldemar Skřipča expressed pessimism about the future prospects of the Ukrainian army, and he pointed out sharply: The so-called US aid to Ukraine is actually to share the spoils.
First of all, it can be seen from the content of the Ukraine aid bill that the reason why the United States provides huge amounts of money to Ukraine is actually used on itself, so it is not stingy. Because the aid to Ukraine is divided into two parts, military and economic, the economic loan to Ukraine is 9 billion US dollars. You must know that since hugging the thigh of the United States, Zelensky has fully sold Ukraine's economic lifeline to the United States. In 2023, the American investment giant BlackRock and the Ukrainian government will set up the "Ukraine Development Fund" to take over a large number of state-owned enterprises in Ukraine, such as energy, infrastructure, power grid, and agricultural investment, for free. It can be said that Ukraine's economic lifeline is now in the hands of the United States, and the so-called economic assistance is actually the United States investing in its own industry. What is even more ironic is that the United States is also trying to use the frozen Russian overseas assets to "revive the Ukrainian economy", which is really a big profit.
In the military field, it seems that there is a share of more than 50 billion US dollars, however, 23.2 billion US dollars are used to serve the US military-industrial complex to fill the inventory gap caused by previous aid to Ukraine, another 11.3 billion US dollars are directly funded by the Pentagon for US military operations in Europe, and the remaining 13.8 billion US dollars are really for the purchase of American-made weapons for Ukraine. However, weapons and equipment are all produced in the United States, and it is still the American arms dealers who make a fortune. In this way, the most profitable military aid this time is undoubtedly the US military-industrial complex.
As early as October last year, U.S. President Joe Biden submitted this proposal to the U.S. Congress to aid Ukraine, but it was delayed in passing it in Congress because of the influence of bipartisan disputes. For the Americans, spending money for Ukraine in vain, this kind of loss-making deal obviously cannot be done. Today, the bipartisan consensus in the United States is not because of sympathy and understanding for Ukraine, but because the biggest beneficiary is still the United States. After the fiasco at the beginning of the year, Ukraine is now on the verge of a desperate situation. On April 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky once again "cried poor" on a TV program, saying that the military aid from the United States and the West had been delayed, and he couldn't wait. Under his repeated requests, the Pentagon has barely scraped together $1 billion in military aid to urgently support the Ukrainian army. We can't help but ask, how many days can $1 billion last in the hugely expensive Russia-Ukraine battlefield?
The caution of American politicians is such that even its ally, the Polish military top brass Waldmar Krzypchak, cannot stand it. In an interview with the media, he gave a spicy comment on the future fate of Ukraine and the aid to Ukraine. In his opinion, the biggest problem facing the Ukrainian army at present is not the shortage of weapons and ammunition, but the urgency of soldiers and low morale. He believes that the Ukrainian army still lacks 200,000 soldiers on the front line, but the current recruitment process in Ukraine is not smooth, and the new recruits have at least 6 months of training, which is a huge challenge for the Ukrainian army. At the same time, the continuous rout on the battlefield has made the morale of the Ukrainian army low, a large number of veterans have been consumed on the battlefield, and the Ukrainian army can only let the new recruits as cannon fodder, coupled with the fierce offensive of the Russian army, their own lack of sufficient heavy weapons, which has led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army.
Regarding the US aid plan for Ukraine, Krzypchak believes that this is a "confused account". In the entire process of disbursement and expenditure, there has been no strict supervision and management measures, resulting in serious corruption, serious loss of funds and weapons, and even many weapons to aid Ukraine have been resold on the arms black market. Fundamentally, the biggest beneficiaries of this military aid are still the politicians of the United States and Ukraine, as well as the plutocrats and arms dealers of the United States. As the war continues, Ukraine is still a chess piece, and it is also a huge chain of interests of a "cash cow", which will also create a steady stream of wealth for the promoters behind it.
