On Monday, when asked what the Biden administration is telling Ukrainian counterparts about what will happen once Biden leaves office, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC This Week:
Well, first what I’m saying is we’re going to do everything in our power for these 50 days to get Ukraine all the tools we possibly can to strengthen their position on the battlefield so they’ll be stronger at the negotiating table. And President Biden directed me to oversee a massive surge in the military equipment that we are delivering to Ukraine so that we have spent every dollar that Congress has appropriated to us by the time that President Biden leaves office.
That’s first and foremost what we’re focused on. And then, I’ve encouraged the Ukrainian team to engage the incoming team, as well as to engage all of our allies and partners because, again, on January 21st, the war in Ukraine doesn’t just go away. Obviously the new team will have its own policy, its own approach, and I can’t speak to that. But what I can do is make sure we put Ukraine in the best possible position when we hand off the baton."

The Ukraine has a ‘problem’
with top brass corruption - skimming funds and selling hardware we give them to ISIS etc. So let’s flush as much resources into the hole in the ground in the Ukraine as quickly as we can.
Sounds like their ‘going away gift’ to Trump is emptying out the last corners of our military arsenals.
Indeed.
One last chance to launder more tax dollars in Ukraine!
If Bidog is for it I am against it. Russia is more righteous than the Ukraine.
The perverts need to lose this one and some of them need to hang, be shot, lethal injected.
They are a sickening, repulsive and demonic group.
I NEVER add the spiritual to my posts...but this exception dsserved it.
I have not seen such crushing evil...not caring about women getting raped and murdered by illegals in LARGE numbers....not caring how many 100s of thousands live or die as long as the gravy train continues in ukraine...and so much more.
48 days?
God I hope we make it without too much more damage.
The next 50 days may be worse than the last 4 years.
These are true America haters.
Order more lumber for gallows.
If it makes it there send in Marines to get it back or destroy it.
Screw what the commie deep state wants. Send them over with a .22 and a half box of ammo.
Let the perverts joe and hunter lead.
.
The amount of money Biden et al is pushing out the door in his final weeks is ridiculous. They are ticked Trump won and plan to do the most damage possible as they leave.
Money to Africa for housing in the case of natural disasters; as NC victims remain freezing in tents.
They’re sending more money and equipment to Ukraine. They no longer even pretend to get Congressional approval. Those kickbacks won’t pay themselves you know.
The liberal grifters want to empty all the arsenals so the government needs to buy all new equipment. Meanwhile our enemies will use all the free military equipment against us.
While I wish the maritime marine no physical harm, may every ship carrying these munitions sink in deep water, with all the sailors rescued.
Better yet, call a distress signal and simply scuttle the ships in deep water and may that area of the ocean be forever renamed the “tyrant trench”

Ukraine’s Zelensky Used tax-paid U.S. Military Assets To Campaign For Harris in Pennsylvania. Zelensky’s visit with Harris surrogates comes on the same day The New Yorker published an interview in which he criticized Trump and Vance.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to use U.S. military assets to campaign for Kamala Harris on a visit to battleground state Pennsylvania on Sunday. On another trip to ask the U.S. government for money and munitions, Zelensky toured a Pennsylvania ammunition plant with Gov. Josh Shapiro, a prominent Kamala Harris surrogate, and other Democrats, including Sen. Bob Casey. Zelensky arrived in Scranton, Pennsylvania (President Joe Biden’s oft-referenced birthplace), aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17, images of which he used to advertise his visit. In a message recorded from the inside the aircraft, Zelensky noted, “This fall will determine what’s next in this war.”
“Zelensky is in Pennsylvania … signing bombs with Gov. Shapiro. Zelensky is also attacking J.D. Vance in the biggest, most important battleground state in the country during an election year,” Sean Parnell, former Pennsylvania Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, said at a Trump rally Monday. “Folks, if that ain’t foreign election interference, I don’t know what is.”
Notably, Zelensky’s trip came on the same day The New Yorker published an interview in which he criticized former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio. Zelensky took issue with Trump’s debate response about the war in Ukraine, in which the Republican said he wanted the war to end. “Trump makes political statements in his election campaign,” Zelensky said. “My feeling is that Trump doesn’t really know how to stop the war even if he might think he knows how,” Zelensky added (emphasis original). “With this war, oftentimes, the deeper you look at it the less you understand. I’ve seen many leaders who were convinced they knew how to end it tomorrow, and as they waded deeper into it, they realized it’s not that simple.”
The Ukrainian leader also called Vance “too radical,” saying his plan to end the war with Russia is “just sloganeering.” “For us, these are dangerous signals, coming as they do from a potential Vice-President. I should say that it hasn’t been like this with Trump,” Zelensky said. “I don’t take Vance’s words seriously, because, if this were a plan, then America is headed for global conflict,” he continued, comparing a negotiation with Russia to appeasement of Adolph Hitler prior to World War II. “The Biden-Harris admin is using military assets to fly a foreign leader into a battleground state in order to undermine their political opponents,” Dan Caldwell, public policy advisor at Defense Priorities, posted on social media.

In response to an inquiry from The Federalist, the Department of Defense did not deny the use of American military assets for the trip, but declined to comment on Zelensky’s statements or apparent campaign work.
While not calling out Trump by name, Zelensky appeared to further criticize the former president later in the interview when he went after world leaders for seeking working relationships with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which Trump often stresses as key to foreign policy success.

“A lot of world leaders want to have some` sort of dealings with Putin, to reach agreements, to conduct some business with him. I look at such leaders and realize that they are very interested in playing this game — and for them, unfortunately, it really is a game,” Zelensky said. “But what makes a real leader? A leader is someone whom Putin needs for something, not a person who needs Putin. Flirting with him is not a sign of strength. Sitting across the table from him might make you believe you’re making important decisions about the world.”
Ironically, Zelensky also said, “I think Ukraine has demonstrated the wisdom of not becoming captured by American domestic politics.” Zelensky visited the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant during his trip to Pennsylvania. According to Military.com, the plant is one of a handful in the country that produces a 155 millimeter artillery shell. The United States has already shipped 3 million such shells to Ukraine.
He will attend the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday and Wednesday before traveling to the nation’s capital to meet with President Joe Biden and Harris to ask for more military assistance. The U.S. has already contributed over $56 billion to Ukraine, making it the largest donor in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. The group of about 50 countries has given Ukraine a total of $106 billion since the beginning of the war.
The artillery shells Zelensky inspected, and to which he affixed signatures along with Shapiro, have a range of 15 to 20 miles, but Zelensky has been persistently seeking longer-range missiles to fire into Russia. However, the Biden administration has not approved those munitions, and it has argued that the Ukrainian military already has the capability to fire at Moscow with its own drones.

Then it’s certainly about to end. America likes to empty old inventory to justify new spending on new wars. Alinsky tells us not to let a campaign drag on too long. It’s demoralizing.
RE: The next 50 days may be worse than the last 4 years.
You’re right.
Where is Ragnar Danneskjöld when you need him?
Zelenskyyyyy may just emulate the Afghan ‘leader’ and skidaddle out of there with the cash stash on 1/19/2025.
Ukraine had a coups 2014 where a democracy was over thrown. Those elections were overseen even by EU observers that deemed them legit.
We then installed our folks into leadership roles in Ukraine.
In the midst of war and after Mr Z (Time's Person of the year) became unpopular we supported the idea of canceling elections in Ukraine.
Now, not respecting the “will of the people” the bureaucracy/deep state and uni-party want to “Trump proof” the war in Ukraine.
But that won't stop some folks from actually using that cliche “democracy.”
