Trump admin clears first Ukraine arms aid paid for by allies, sources say
Al Arabiya ^ | 9/16/2025 | Reuters

The Trump administration’s first US weapons aid packages for Ukraine have been approved and could soon ship as Washington resumes sending arms to Kyiv - this time under a new financial agreement with allies, two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters on Tuesday.

This is the first use of a new mechanism developed by the US and allies to supply Ukraine with weapons from US stocks using funds from NATO countries.

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby has approved as many as two $500 million shipments under the new mechanism called the Priority Ukraine Requirements List, known under the acronym PURL, the sources said.

“Putin hoes mad.”

You’re an anti-American punk, not unlike those celebrating the death of Kirk.

You would dare not use those words, not even the tone, if I was standing before you.

I think they need a Ukraine Caucus due to the deteriorating conditions of the war that will bring out the worst in them.

I take that as a no confidence vote in your posted assertion. At least you are not that stupid.

“I responded quite forcefully, and I finally said, ‘Mr. President, don’t just listen to me. Your chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Caine, is outside. He’s out in the hall, bring him in and ask him that question. He’s your senior, he’s your principal military adviser,’” Kellogg said.

“And he did, and Dan said the same thing. He went, ‘Nope, not winning.’”

We are currently deploying hypersonics.

The EU and its allies are a bigger menace than Russia. So what’s important is why we are making Russia our enemy, not who pays for the arms.

I see that. We must have captured enough Russian hypersonic debris in Ukraine for them to figure it out.

That childish and gratuitous insult that you know is a lie against the American military, proves where your heart is as you promote the Russian military agenda here.

Russia has been making them since at least 2018. Reverse engineering is hardly a lie, a word you love to throw around.

We recently reverse engineered the Russian weapons so that we could deploy our own hypersonic weapons copied from them?

Like most of the anti-America group here you can’t be shaken from your persistent pro-Russia propaganda.

The Russians have taken a LOT of casualties since they started this in 2022.

By now, most likely, a very large percentage of the population knows someone who was killed, lost or severely damaged in Ukraine.

Probably a few more have been victims of the returning former convict veterans, who won their freedom from prison fighting for Putin in Ukraine.

Add gas shortages, food shortages, loss of free speech, etc., plus inflation to the Russian mood and I wonder how they feel about Putin and his war, especially when there’s talk of many more years of war ahead.

Winter is gonna suck for the proles there just like what they’ve done to the Ukrainians.

This is being taken from existing US stocks.

What was done in the past is older versions (including those near or past their "use by" dates) were shipped from US stocks and the Ukraine aid money was used to replace them with newer ones.

The Pentagon was dinged for this by the GAO. That's partly how the Biden regime suddenly "found" additional funding, by revaluing what was shipped based on it being old vs. the cost of replacement with newer equipment.

If we have such a problem with the supply chain, then we can wait until sustained profits cause the contractors to acquire more plant and equipment or the US gov can pay for new plant or equipment. If shipping arms to Ukraine is such a strain, there's a much bigger problem than just supplying Ukraine with the piddling amount we are sending.

In a past post by you , you said “Peace By Easter”.

Easter came and went a long time ago. Still no peace.
