. no, whoops. despite the mounting problems for european western governments and citizens, washington is still forging ahead with a new defense budget. and congress is authorizing $500000000.00 more than what biden asked for it to continue funding ukraine security assistance. so that makes it a total of $800000000.00 for the fiscal year 2023, which is basically going straight into the pockets of the u. s. military industrial complex at levels even far above spending during the korean or vietnam war, or at the peak of the cold war. so it's business as usual for washington, seemingly oblivious to the toll that feeling this conflict is taking on citizens from ukraine to europe. ah, personal affection to africa now a democratic republic of congo has rejected neighboring rwanda's, denial of in vo, witness that the rebellion in the countries shed border thus offer
