In early 2022, the US quickly emerged as one of Ukraine's most important military suppliers, supporting Kyiv with everything from artillery to armour & millions of rounds of artillery ammunition.
In late 2023, that vital flow of supplies began to stall as debate in Congress continued. And as supplies ran short, Russian forces took advantage and ground the front forward in several places.
Now, the US has passed a new package and the flow of supplies is resuming. In this video, we look at that package, examine its contents and ask what impact it might have as Ukraine reportedly faces some of its hardest defensive battles since 2022.
The impact will be the bum will be back in six weeks crying like a baby for another 40 billion dollars.
lol, some of it isn’t deliverable till 2025
So they started to send it secretly...

Thanks for the Perun posting! As you've said, he's pretty balanced.

his humor is sooo subtle... but he’s funny as hell
More tax payer gift packages for Ukraine! Those who make the prizes are getting super rich!
Ukrainians must die so the defense industry can thrive!
You sure know how to pick them. But then, we've come to expect that from you.

Alexander Mercouris is a disbarred lawyer. He is citing Jack Rasmus as his well known expert.
When anyone fails to hold back laughing when claiming the expert is one of the best experts, that's never a good sign. More so when the person using the expert has no credibility.
Just who is Jack Rasmus and what does he believe?
Let's look at what he said about the 2020 election: How Could 70 Million Still Have Voted for Trump? November 7, 2020:
This was before the 2020 steal was obvious to anyone who could download the vote spreadsheets, perform basic Excel operations and find funny numbers. To Rasmus, Trump is just perpetuating the same problems of rich and powerful versus everyone else, appealing to his voter's inherent racism.Media pundits and others have been deeply perplexed as to why so many Americans in this election–70 million in fact– nonetheless voted for Trump. But it’s not all that difficult to understand. There are 3 major explanations: One economic. One health. And the third, and most important, a matter of culture and racism manipulated by clever politicians for the past quarter century at least....This fear is the foundation of his—and their—white nationalism which is really a form of racism. So too is their anti-immigration. It is anti-immigration directed against people of color–whether latinos, blacks, muslims or whomever. White European heritage, small town, rural, evangelical, small business ‘heartland’ of the south & midwest America sees ‘their America’ disappearing or at least having to share more equally with people of color America. The latter are now almost equal in population to White Europeans but are not equal politically or economically. They are knocking on the door and want in. They want their equal share.
...Pit the one against the other, while they–those of wealth and power–continue to ‘pick the pockets’ of both. That was, and remains, Trump’s strategy in a nutshell. It’s also the strategy of his wealthy backers. It’s the age old American ruling class racism ‘shell game’. Just now in the form of ‘old wine in new bottles’, as they saying goes. ‘America First’ means in effect White America of his political base comes first.
I don't think Mercouris is citing a conservative intellectual icon like Thomas Sowell here.
What's your point here?
I actually do this for different states on Free Republic, for various election cycles.
I understand where Mercouris is coming from.
My biggest stop point has always been the question of "what are the REAL Ukrainian casualties?" - not the Ukrainian or Western lies about them.
I think we're getting close to the Big Reveal on that.
What Ukrainian air defence doink?
