"It was all a lie!": Trump's Biggest Bluff Against Ukraine Just Got Exposed - The Russian Dude

For many years Donald Trump claimed that America sent approximately $350 billion in aid to Ukraine. There is no data to confirm this number. According to the most conservative estimations by the Kiel University, the aid that Ukraine got from the US is estimated at approximately $120 billion. The Department of Defense itself gives the number of $180 billion. So all this was just Trump's biggest bluff against Ukraine? And did it just get exposed?

Still good, but would have to be disposed of soon as the reliability was getting bad.

Just because you have some ammo you bought in the 1960's do not mean that it will still fire and be reliable in the 2020's
