That's a gross oversimplification.

About $30 billion for Ukraine military arms and military support.

About $20 billion to support Ukraine government basic function, the private sector, and Ukrainian refugees.

About $19 billion for Israeli arms, and $2.5 billion for related US military operations.

The following is huge: $9.2 billion for humanitarian aid to Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, and some other war zones.

About $8 billion for partners in the Indo Pacific to resist China encroachment

$1.9 billion to Taiwan for arms

$3.3 billion to build submarines in the US for Australia and the UK.
