The weird thing is that the US is pretty much just sending old military equipment to Ukraine that the US has no use for. The aid provided is barely noticeable in the US military budget. If the US actually focused on this the war would be over in a month.
So far, the US has approved $113 billion in aid to Ukraine ($62 billion through the Pentagon and another $40 something billion through the State Department that definitely totally wasn't spent on war guys). It's something like a tenth of the US military budget and on par with the entire Russian military budget of around $100 billion.
