Are there numbers for other places that USA is sending "aid" to? Taiwan? Ukraine?

There are some numbers, here are some numbers for Ukraine https://www.visualcapitalist.com/visualizing-233b-in-ukraine-aid/

Taiwan also gets billions every year, although on a smaller scale https://apnews.com/article/china-taiwan-us-lai-congress-funding-8571139dd8cd1d069a53cfebaccf99c6

And then there's Japan, occupied Korea, Philippines, and so on. US empire is spread pretty thin at this point.

Oh I meant the number of people against it, but these are also helpful, thanks

Taiwan's a bit harder to find, but there was a recent poll conducted regarding whether people think the war in Ukraine should end
