People are too naive if they think Zelensky isn't keeping a few billions after the war is over. 🤦

It is true that the former bad actor Zelensky was a multi millionaire long before the war, so he is corrupt no matter how you put it. Now after some US cash flow Im sure he is way richer than anybody can imagine, and he can enjoy his pension in one of his many luxury houses abroad when he gets out of his current job (that is if he is not killed by other Ukranians before then)

How many himars can a dentist buy? How many tanks? 2. You are confusing cash with things. Majority of the aid is in beans, bullets and Band-Aids - not cash. For sake of passing the laws, govt's evaluate based on general measurable value of things, and one way to do that is money. 3. Regardless of how much money you have, you can't just buy military tech. Look at Saudi's buying F35's - they got all money in the world, but they need permission and approval from US Govt.
