Huh? The US has sent military aid nearly every month since at least April of 2024.
Yes that’s when it was finally voted through, Ukraine got nothing from USA half of 2023 and start of 2024. For about 8 months total.
I think EU is also in a better position to help more now. Many EU countries have increased production and aid in the meantime.
As near as I can tell the longest run was January of 2024 into April of 2024 which is only 4 months. Still too long but that’s way different than 8 months.
I think you are misremembering the political theater around approving more for 2024 and interpreting it to mean we didn’t send anything in the back half of 2023.

Maybe I do, but to be honest, the aid November and December is peanuts compared to the 60 billion package. Of course it’s not nothing, but it’s on a level comparable to a tiny country like Denmark, with only a 50th the population of USA.

Again…huh?
The US did a “final drawdown” in December of 2023 sending military aid worth about 250 Million dollars.
There was 100 Million the month before, in November of 2023.

So OK maybe not nothing, but very little.
