Factcheck Trump Ukraine claim

[simple1]

e.g. “Zelenskyy talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn’t be won. … The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe.”

 

Trump’s numbers, as usual, are wrong. The United States has appropriated just over $174 billion, the Congressional Research Service said in a report issued last month. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy, which tracks support for Ukraine, says the United States and the European Union have provided roughly the same amount of military aid, while the Europeans have provided far more nonmilitary aid than the United States — $73 billion versus $52 billion.

DOGE is revealing that the US contribution far exceeds the reported advertised direct support. 

 

That's in all kinds of programs, including Ukraine, NATO, immigration costs, free stuff for lazy people, DEI around the world, and a lot of other programs where the lefties wish the level of spending would stay under cover.

 

I'd add that most fact checking sites are as suspect (or even more so) than the information they're claiming to check.

Doge is revealing nothing. Doge is making nany unsubstantiated claims.

If that was the case, why would so many entrenched entities be trying to block their access to the accounting systems?
