This is probably the amount given to pay the pension plans that was lightly reported by a few outlets.

Why is Ukraine not a US Territory if we pay for their police force, border security, military, and all of the infrastructure listed above???

The problem is you're focusing your emotions on the wrong people.
Putin/Russia should be the focus of that rage.

No he shouldn't, because billions of American tax dollars are going to Ukraine, not Russia. We are spending more money concerning ourselves with a border in Eastern Europe than we are our own. It's absolute insanity.

Someone else pays for your war (which we shouldn't be doing), and you complain?
I tell ya, it's been fascinating and disturbing to see the reactions of people throughout all of this Russia/Ukraine drama. You have people who actually hailed Zelensky as some kind of hero, and then there are those who are convinced that Putin is actually the Russian version of Trump, and that he's actually been a good guy all along who's all about returning power to the people , and that we've been lied to about him, and he's going to save the world.
I think Putin has been misrepresented to a degree, and that he, in a strange way, stands to crumble globalism. That's a good thing. But I don't think he's trying to save the world just because he hates globalism. I think he merely wants to hoard all power to himself, and has been duping people into slowly giving him control for years.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't see the "good guy" angle with Putin. Zelensky, however, is clearly a fraud.

So Russia is now appropriating money from our treasury as well? We have zero obligation to send Ukraine anything. That's our politicians making that choice.

They created the situation necessitating indirect response to their actions.
Do you honestly think an international system where unprovoked invasion is precedent and permitted will be good for America in the long term?

Uh, I was always opposed to the Iraq invasion. That was 18 years ago? And was a failure and waste of money for the US.
It's inapplicable whataboutism with respect to Russia invading Ukraine in 2022.
Do you honestly think an international system where unprovoked invasion is precedent and permitted?
It's a simple yes or no question

It must be nice to be able to run this scam:
Install your puppet in another country, have him look the other way while you open up the graft sligots, have him demand more billions, all the while knowing that tax payer money will make it back to you and your friends. Brilliant!

I think it's absolutely none of our business and not one cent should be sent to Ukraine. Foreign aid is a scam anyway.

Ok, so I will ask again with a qualifier.
During Covid, we saw how badly supply chain disruptions frick up our economy and the lives of ordinary Americans. You don't think an international system where bad actors can invade strategic areas unprovoked may create similar/worse disruptions?
I can give you one hypothetical example and it rhymes with my lawn.
