Original Note:
US military aid spending to date on the war in Ukraine has an accounting value of ~$43B. Even accounting for non-military aid to Ukraine, the total is ~$75B and not $2T. $43B is about ~5% of the American defense budget or ~10% of interest payment on federal debt in 2021. https://www.cfr.org/article/how-much-aid-has-us-sent-ukraine-here-are-six-charts
