To be fair, this would hurt weapons dealers bottom line, so maybe not that surprising. That billions in aid go somewhere, and that somewhere is the military complex a lot of the conservative donors get their wealth. Just, in this case, it's for someone getting invaded so most people are cool with this one.

This is the thing I don't quite get. The "donations" to Ukraine (just like the ones to Israel) are just one huge tax funded subsidy to the defense contractors. You'd think Trump would be on board with that. Wonder why not.
