“Ukraine Freedom Support Act of 2014” .....
Quote:
SEC. 6. INCREASED MILITARY ASSISTANCE FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE.
(a) In General.—The President is authorized to provide defense articles, defense services, and training to the Government of Ukraine ......

Subsequent legislation AUTHORIZED spending and those authorizations were CONDITIONAL as they typically are. Many/Most if NOT ALL Presidents do not SPEND all the funds they are AUTHORIZED to spend.
Most notably in recent history was Predator Clinton ... and there were House hearings after the 2000 election to review the NONSPENDING .... Lamar Smith was the chair. The spending was over border security and air security .... and military retrofitting*!
*Most of the personnel vehicles we were required to rely upon in the military activities in Iraq were not retrofitted and had to be with improvised creativity in the field.
That is also why Obaminable was able to assure the Russians with his sexy squeeze of the President's thigh that he could be "more flexible" after the 2nd election (2012) regarding helping the Ukrainians with missile defense and shit can the program EVEN THOUGH THE FUNDING WAS AUTHORIZED!!!!!!! That WAS a quid-pro-quo .... He continued to get thigh squeezing privileges ....!!!!
