I assume that the American Deep-State / Dark-State want the EU / Europe to collapse = = They are doing a Great Job.
I do not know. I tend to think they want to coalesce.
Why would the American Deep-State / Dark-State want the EU / Europe to be too strong ? !
Certainly Totalitarians.

However you stack it up it's still bugger all in the great scheme of things.Don't be upset Dec. That's how the aid has always been given, in incremental packages.
You also seem to think this is just money. It's not. It is arms and equipment.
Also the 200m USD is the present net worth value of those arms. When bought, the cost was much higher.
- AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
- Air defense system components;
- Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
- 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
- High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs);
- Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
- Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems;
Exclusive: Pentagon accounting error overvalued Ukraine weapons aid by $3 billion
The Pentagon overestimated the value of the ammunition, missiles and other equipment it sent to Ukraine by around $3 billion, a Senate aide and a defense official said on Thursday, an error that may lead the way for more weapons being sent to Kyiv for its defense against Russian forces.
"In its accounting, the Pentagon used replacement cost to value the weapons aid, instead of the weaponry's value when it was purchased and depreciated, the senior defense officials said."
Basically this means the US can ship substantially more arms for the same estimated cost.
And well overcharged for the first time round.
It is $4 per person in Ukraine.
It's probably overkill at this point. Something like 80% of the original Russian army that existed in Feb 2022 is dead or incapacitated.
That's certainly the Russians problem.

Britain's spy chief claims intelligence scoop on Putin's invasion of Ukraine
Spies in the United States and Britain scored an intelligence scoop by uncovering Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to order the biggest attack on a European state since World War Two, Britain's foreign spy chief said.
"Such was the concern over Putin's intentions in recent weeks that snippets of U.S. and British intelligence were released into the public domain as part of an attempt to deter an invasion and caution allies about a possible war.
U.S. and British intelligence including maps of the expected invasion's course, details on Russian military numbers, formations, intent and posture, and even dates for a possible invasion, were put into the public domain."
Getting Russian casualty numbers is trival in comparison.
Since the Russians have shown themselves to be thoroughly gutted on the biggest military operation they have conducted since WW2, we can safely say that's not true.
