11/5/2024 — “Aid to Ukraine” is really an investment in American manufacturing.

From: Roman Sheremeta — $51.2 billion has gone into the US defense industrial base to date. Once all funds are obligated, it will be over $60 billion.

Top recipient states:

  1. Arkansas – $4.25 billion
  2. Alabama – $3.31 billion
  3. Pennsylvania – $2.83 billion
  4. Arizona – $2.72 billion
  5. Texas – $2.04 billion
  6. West Virginia – $1.98 billion
  7. California – $1.96 billion
  8. Florida – $1.59 billion
  9. Missouri – $968 million
  10. New York – $943 million

Note that not all contracts and investments are reflected on the map, so it won’t match the total obligations. Only prime contractors and select key subcontractors are mapped. The defense industrial supply chain stretches into all 50 states, and many states are underrepresented due to the nature of the weapon systems provided to Ukraine.
