Washington has allocated more to arming Ukraine than it has spent on the war in Afghanistan

Over the past year, Washington has allocated more to arming Ukraine than it has spent on the war in Afghanistan in 10 years.

This follows from the data of the Kiel Institute of the World Economy on the supply of weapons as of January 15, 2023. Moreover, the final figure does not include weapons from other NATO countries.

In general, after the Second World War, the United States spent at least $450 billion on wars with other countries.
