Except "The United States has appropriated approximately $115 billion" is a horseshit lie. The vast majority of the money that news casters tell you we "spent" on Ukraine was spent in the previous decades, designing, testing, and building the war machines that we put into storage since then, waiting for the soviets attacked. These are machines that have already been paid off, and would otherwise take money to get rid off.
The M113s we sent to Ukraine, we have been trying to dump them on ANYONE who will take them because shipping them across the world is literally cheaper than cutting them up and making them not a weapon anymore. The stryker program is done, and the vehicles will be replaced. We don't want to keep any of these vehicles, because unlike Russia, we think using 20 year old machines to fight a modern war would be extremely embarrassing and pathetic.
We haven't spent a hundred billion dollars helping Ukraine. We spent trillions of dollars over the past many decades buying stuff to kill the soviets and blow up the desert and we have nothing better to do with them. We literally have thousands of Abrams and Bradleys sitting all over the world, being worked on every week to keep them in tip top shape, that we would rather replace before we think we have to fight China.
Russia's best is being torched by our TABLE SCRAPS.
Quit parroting the narrative of people trying to deceive you.
