Statement by Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell on Ukraine Military Aid
U.S. Department of Defense ^ | 7/7/2025 | Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell

Posted on 07/07/2025 7:49:15 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

At President Trump's direction, the Department of Defense is sending additional defensive weapons to Ukraine to ensure the Ukrainians can defend themselves while we work to secure a lasting peace and ensure the killing stops. Our framework for POTUS to evaluate military shipments across the globe remains in effect and is integral to our America First defense priorities.

155mm cluster shells are defensive weapons.

“I’m on nobody’s payroll Putin, Trump, Israel, Qatar no one’s payroll.”

Then Putin is getting one great deal!

Putin screwed up by insulting President Trump. Hanging up the phone on President Trump on Thursday was a low-class move and monumentally stupid.

Your mom hiding your Special Ukraine Sock was a low-class move and monumentally stupid.

Not content w/ the mega billions already in his pocket, Zelensky now says
he wants US tax dollars to Ukraine “according to the Israeli model”......here’s what he means:

Read:Congressional Research Service
US Foreign aid to Israel
60 page detailed report
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/RL/RL33222/44

Includes massive US arms giveaways, US security commitments and rigorous US military training.

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.

Biden gaslighted Americans about the “need” for
American foreign aid tax dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
Here’s why they DONT need it:

About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.

US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financed finding markets for small business.

Backstory: Since 1973, Israel has received more than $120 billion US tax
dollars in MILITARY assistance alone, including “three special aid” packages.
<><>billions for signing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty
<><>billions for Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai.
<><>billions for redeployment of Israeli forces
<><>rebuilding Israeli air bases in the Negev cost $5 billion.
Besides weaponry, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.

Military aid from US taxpayers has blanketed Israel over the years. They have more than enough resources, now, to nail Hamas and Hezbollah. Wealthy Israel has very low debt, and actually had a budget surplus this year, while the US is $33 trillion in debt, a debt which future generations are saddled with.

You can’t trust the news — one minute it’s this, one minute it’s that — Just like the Epstein files. I think Trump is handing Ukraine to the Russian because they both have had the same enemy — neo con Democrats and Republicans. Trump and Putin are not liked, and they know who has screwed them around big time. So most of this is just meaningless gestures from Trump to confuse the press and the establishment wing. I think Putin is suggesting to Trump that they do a movie together. Putin will be Steve McQueen and Trump will be Yul Brynner in the new version of The Magnificent Seven. They will get heros together to fend off a small Ukraine town of farmers from BLACKROCK mercenaries interested in mineral deposits. BLACKROCK has a rotating door to the government to get people to fund and die for their foreign wars. Biden will play the head of BLACKROCK now that he has a Hollywood agent. It should be a wonderful movie.

No Epstein list, a lying press secretary and non stop funding a useless war that isn’t ours. Looks like Joe is at the helm again.

>>”Problem is in the end Putin is not going to cave to Trump”

And Trump isn’t going to cave to Putin. Trump’s objective is clear. End the war without the Russian incursions into Ukraine expanding beyond their current front lines. Being that even during 3 years of a weak Biden regime Putin hasn’t been able to finish off Ukraine, he can expect more of the same or worse from Trump.

Putin is going nowhere. He’s stuck in a quagmire. If you want to call that having Trump’s number, knock yourself out.

From Trumps point of view and the point of view of U.S. interests, Putin remaining stuck in a quagmire is just fine. We can live with that. Trump would like to end the killing, but in terms U.S. strategic interests Trump’s only goal is to prevent Putin from making any further inroads into Ukraine. A stalemate is a win for the U.S. An end to the fighting would be a win for the people of Russia and Ukraine.

We should not send them anything.

This is a major error by POTUS and it will cost him politically.
