White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, right, and Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, hold a presser in Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Nov. 4, 2022.

The U.S. is sending Ukraine $400 million more in military aid and establishing a security assistance headquarters in Germany that will oversee all weapons transfers and military training for Ukraine, the Pentagon announced Friday.

Notably, the $400 million in aid includes funding for additional air defenses to help Ukraine better defend itself against escalating Russian missile and drone attacks that have badly damaged the country's power and water infrastructure.

“We recognize the acute need for air defense at this critical moment when Russia and Russian forces are raining missiles and Iranian drones down on the civilian infrastructure of this country,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said at a press conference in Kyiv Friday following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Sullivan is one of the highest ranking U.S. officials to visit Kyiv, and his trip had not been previously announced for security reasons.

So, let's see -- $18.3 billion in surplus or old equipment that gets battle tested and a potential threat (Putin) to world stability is eliminated.

18.3 out of 743 is 2.5%

2.5% of the budget and in return no American troops and Putin's threat is reduced or eliminated.

win-win

No, I'm not a Putin supporter- that would be the definition of stupid

In 1938 if Hitler had been opposed in his conquest of the Sudentenland, then WWII in Europe would either have not happened or been a damp squib in 1938 without millions of deaths.

No. You’re still pushing propaganda.
The globalist threat would grow exponentially and Americans are already in harms way to begin with, the globalists would work to overthrow all free nations and plenty of American soldiers would die, along with their family and friends.

There were no real British interests involved in the boundaries of the Czech state in 1938 as there are no US real interests in the frontiers of Ukeland today. Let the Euros fight it out among themselves.

Propaganda? you call basic math as “propaganda”?

robo There were no real British interests involved in the boundaries of the Czech state in 1938 as there are no US real interests in the frontiers of Ukeland today

And you highlight exactly WHY the USA needs to be involved to push back Putin's invasion of Ukraine

1938 and the Sudentenland may not have had "real British interests involved" - but the war that occured 2 years later most definitely DID have British interests at heart

if the British and French had stopped hitler in 1938, they would not have had the tremendous loss of life and money in 1940 to 1945

Similarly, the USA is being smart by sending surplus weaponry to Ukraine to fight the war to push back Putin and prevent a wider war that would be detrimental to the USA

Great Britain destroyed its empire and its position as a great power and helped physically destroy central Europe for what. The eastern boundary of Poland. You need to stop believing the phony narrative of the ‘good war’. If Russia dominated all of Europe it would mean nothing to average Americans whose government is busy waging war on its own citizens and allowing the US to be invaded by masses of turd worlders. Are you a real American or some K Street bot?

K Street stooges like you are beneath contempt. You are deliberately trying to gin up awar with Russia and other NATO states. In passing HIMARS are old equipment. You simply a permanent war or war economy to help your masters grow richer and richer and if possible destroy Russia to implement the borderless world order. You care nothing about’stopping another war later’. That is the oldest saw the globalists continue to use. If we don’t fight now something worse will maybe happen later. All you do, as you are just some cubicle rat on K Street, is try to push a narrative for a ever bigger war to prevent a bigger war later. you are just a pimp for your masters and will sit in your cubicle and encourage a situation where other men, better men than you for certain, can die to make your masters richer and richer.
