ICYMI: Ukraine News Titles, Summaries and Links for 1 November 2022 follow intro-commentary

“The Baltic States and Poland sent Ukraine the largest share of their own defense budgets. In particular, the undisputed leaders on the list are Latvia and Estonia, which have provided Ukraine with arms worth 41% and 37% of their defense budgets, respectively.” https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3605507-this-year-allies-provide-ukraine-weapons-worth-86-of-russias-military-budget-kyslytsya.html

“This year, allies provide Ukraine weapons worth 86% of Russia’s military budget – Kyslytsya: The total defense and security assistance  provided to Ukraine by Western nations in the current year stands at EUR 41.3 billion, which is 86% of the military budget of the aggressor power, the Russian Federation.” https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3605507-this-year-allies-provide-ukraine-weapons-worth-86-of-russias-military-budget-kyslytsya.html

World English Bible, The widow’s “mite” story:
Mark 12:41 “Jesus sat down opposite the treasury, and saw how the multitude cast money into the treasury. Many who were rich cast in much. 42 A poor widow came, and she cast in two small brass coins… 43 He called his disciples to himself, and said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, this poor widow gave more than all those who are giving into the treasury, 44 for they all gave out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, gave all that she had to live on.”

The oft-cited US military appropriation figure of $ 40 billion was for costs related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, not only for Ukraine itself. It was for the US to replace military materials already given to Ukraine, beef up US and NATO defense in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, help Ukrainian refugees (who are largely in NATO members Poland and Romania), as well as help seize assets from Russia. The bill included oversight. The bill was blocked by Putin’s friend in the US Congress, Rand Paul. Don’t just look at the title, look at the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7691/text https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2022/05/17/40-billion-us-defense-ukraine-bill-h-r-7691-blocked-by-rand-paul-includes-multiple-inspectors-general-us-congressional-oversight-is-paul-intentionally-lying-or-failed-to-read-when-claiming/

Hillel: “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation. Now go and learn.” (Talmud: Shabbat 31a.) https://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Hillel_the_Elder

Jesus: “Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets”. (Matt 7: 12, WEB Bible)
