"The United States has sent more than $61 billion in military assistance to Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022."

This is false. Ukraine has received around half that much. Total military assistance *committed* by the DoD is $59.1 billion. https://twitter.com/EricSchmittNYT/status/1847055123144438168#m

The B-2 Bomber is no joke, it’s the only stealth strategic bomber in the world and it can take out anything at anytime without being detected. It could be directly above Putin with a nuke and he will never even know it was there. B-21s will be even better
