Any source for that absurd high number.

Some guy's ass, maybe their own?

Latest source I could find was ~$75B, with under 50 going to the military.

For context, the war on terror apparently cost over $2000B. Also US is not deploying troops to fight in ukraine, which should be accounted for.

If this war was to go on for 20 years, then the bill could rack up. IMO that is a good incentive to frontload aid and help put a quick end to the conflict.
