Ukraine drains more money from the United States. In other news, "the U.S. could run out of money to pay the bills by June 1."

Ukraine isn't getting money. They're getting ammunition, artillery and armored vehicles.

The money spent on making those is already spent. It has very little relationship to the brinksmanship that surrounds the debt ceiling, except that the very strategic level the US' military spending may be losing benefit/cost.

Especially after Trump's rerouting of funding from cyberwarfare, although possibly he foresees personal benefit to vulnerability to Russia's cyberwarfare since it appears to have paid off in 2016.

Yeah and most of that stuff. Is either experimental that they want to have tested, stuff they want to get rid of to make space for better stuff in the storages or shit that's about to or already has expired.

It's not like they're handing out cash to buy food for starving kids with XD
