Reality caught up with the USA. Even if the money transferred the actual supply of weapons and munitions had dwindled even before the end of December due to basic lack of capacity and lack of foresight of Russian resolve.
If the shelves are bare you can have a ton of money in your pocket and go hungry. The Ukraine project failed. Putin was not destabilised, the russian economy was not brought to its knees by sanctions and Crimea is not a NATO base on the southern flank.
Big F fail for the Nuland plan it seems.
Where this leads to next is harder to read, will NATO need to stabilise Ukraine directly - direct intervention/occupation, warmongers think so. If Trump is successful at regaining the whitehouse which seems increasingly likely there is a chance for peace through american isolationism rather than confrontation and proxy wars to achieve global hegemony as a foreign policy. I think trump will rebuild the US military for deterrent or heaven help us confrontation with China and/or russia - but only as the budget permits. Lets see what deals he can do , Putin favours Biden because the predictable incompetence allows Russia to grow influence around the globe. Trump is more unpredictable, still not immune to incompetence though through poor hires in key positions but more likely to seek win-win deals rather than pursue global domination destiny at any cost Nuland and Kagan style.
