Reducing the 11 figure amount by less than a tenth is a useless gesture, yes.

Apparently it's useful enough to vote against.

And lol, can you imagine if Trump was sending hundreds of millions of dollars worth of weapons to Russia? I'm betting you suddenly wouldn't oppose stopping it because it's "a useless gesture"

If you can't understand why voting against things that only pretend to help without actually changing anything might be a good idea, there is no point in continuing to talk about it.

If you don't automatically admit that I'm correct and you're wrong then there's no point talking to you

At least you admit that you can't actually defend you position from anyone who actually questions it.
