US Department of State: security guarantees for Ukraine should stay in place even if Trump is elected

Bilateral security guarantees between Ukraine and the US will be enshrined in a way that is independent of who the US President is.

SOURCE: Voice of America, citing Matthew Miller, spokesman for the US Department of State, during a press briefing on 9 August

DETAILS:
When asked whether the aid the US provides for Ukraine will change if Donald Trump becomes the next US president, Miller said that support for Ukraine will be enshrined in bilateral agreements that will remain valid regardless of who the president of the US is.

Miller said that the Biden administration has to cement long-term security agreements that will outlast any administration and any government, both in the US and among US allies and partners who have made long-term commitments to Ukraine’s security.

Miller also said that the Biden administration is negotiating such bilateral security commitments with Ukraine; he added that the decision to continue supporting Ukraine is ultimately down to the US Congress.

Every time the US presidential administration asked Congress for more support for the government of Ukraine, the Ukrainian military and the people of Ukraine, Congress has always agreed, Miller said, adding that he expects that to continue.

BACKGROUND:
• Ukraine began negotiations with the United States on Thursday, 3 August, on a bilateral agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine.

• The Group of Seven (G7) countries agreed on a framework document setting out security guarantees for Ukraine at the NATO Summit in Vilnius. G7 leaders did not agree on the specifics of the security guarantees, but set out a general framework, with specific bilateral agreements to be signed later.

• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that as of 2 August, 12 countries have joined the Joint Declaration of the G7 on security guarantees for Ukraine.

I spent a while looking at video #2 in comment #6 about huge explosion in Moscow optics factory. For some reason you have to wait 8+ minutes for the video to begin, so I looked at the comments underneath. Below I am showing the most interesting comments I read there. When the video finally began, it did show what appears to be a large area destroyed. It was explained that this was the only? Russian factory making the optical equipment for tanks, and artillery mechanisms, so may be impossible to rebuild/replace. Sounds pretty significant to non-military me, more informed comments anyone?? There were a number of other actions reported besides the factory, over an hour of them.

COMMENT what help we should give UKRAINE
“Ukraine should be supplied with F-16s and long-range precision munitions, such as the ATACMS, and the orc military bases inside of Russia should be fair game. I suspect the hesitance of Ukraine’s partners in this regard is not directly due to concern about provoking the orcs (we all know the Kremlin will bark loudly - like a tiny yappy dog - and do nothing more, for the orcs know they can not win a direct war against NATO). Instead, it is due to a concern by western politicians that their own populations might not fully support the military aid to Ukraine. However, such concern is ill-founded. For example, support for military aid to Ukraine in the US is over 80% and still rising. This is because Americans can see that not only is helping Ukraine the ethical thing to do, it is the practical thing as well. The US has spent only about 5% of its military budget so far to aid Ukraine. However, approximately half of the Russian army has been destroyed. This is a tremendous bargain by any measure!
On top of this, when Russia is defeated in this war, their ideology of Fascist Imperialism will also be defeated, making Europe a more peaceful, stable place for many generations - preventing a new arms race in the region. Thus, billions spent today saves trillions tomorrow. The vast majority of Americans understand this. Americans also want to see Ukrainian military and civilian casualties minimized. So, I do think Americans as a whole would support giving Ukraine:
1) F-16s & F-15s for air-supremacy.
2) Grippen Fighters as well - they are less sensitive to rough runways, and easier to maintain - making them useful for some areas.
3) ATACMS, and other long range munitions, and a carte-blanche to destroy orc military targets inside Russian territory.
4) More Patriot & C-RAMs air defenses (Patriot missiles are expensive, so a tiered air defense is best - let C-RAMs take care of the cheap drones).
5) M1 Abrams MBT, and M109A6 Paladins (SPG), and A-10 Warhogs (for ruZZian orc removal in detail)

To facilitate a faster Ukrainian victory, and with fewer Ukrainian losses, the democracies of the world need to send military support to Ukraine. Please write your elected representatives to request this military aid. If you are a US citizen, please consider writing to President Biden and your other elected representatives, and demand Ukraine be given the above weapons - in quantity, and soon. The sooner we give Ukraine the weapons it needs to liberate all of its territory, the sooner this war will be over, and with fewer Ukrainian casualties. Letters can be submitted electronically via the Whitehouse website. One can also google for ones’ elected representatives - many of which have similar websites. One can simply write and submit a letter electronically to make your desire known.

Slava Ukraine and Defeat for the orcs ! “
