Seeing that the US authorized another 400mm in military aid -- which brings the total to $7.3 billion out of $26.7 billion authorized -- I am wondering when the current allocation will run out. I assume it'll last at least through the end of the year, but this conflict is looking like it will persist for a while, and, at some point, the US probably will need to re-up. Plus, if the US is serious about the increased forward presence in Europe, then the US probably will need to authorize an increase in defense spending. I know there are a lot of people who aren't thrilled about that prospect in the abstract, but given the vital importance of this conflict to global security, I hope we find the fortitude to continue doing what's needed.
