"...While Spartz did not tell the WSJ that she categorically opposes further aid, she emphasized that there is a lack of clear strategy from President Joe Biden and a need for more oversight on how the funds are being spent.

"I understand the importance of this battle and the implications if Russia is going to prevail, but I'm also not very naive. If we don't have proper oversight, we are not going to achieve our goals," Spartz said.

Spartz also supports the idea of Ukraine aid being delivered in the form of a loan, as was floated by House Republicans..."

While I get where she is coming from it's not the solution. Most of the arms we are providing Ukraine have shelf lives and wont be used past their expiry date by our govt. Sending these munitions to Ukraine is perfect since they are already paid for and are a sunk fallacy, might as well get some use out of them protecting democracy and sticking it to Putin
