“To make matters worse, it is our understanding from the budget documents that the Department has been, and continues to propose, providing this technology to Russia free-of-charge.”

Well, this should clarify exactly on which side in the Russia-Ukraine affair the President’s attachments truly lie.

No weapons for Ukraine, but (free) military aid to aggressor Putin (who has plenty of oil/gas money on hand with which to pay for this kind of aid.

Of course, I have little doubt that my fearless senior Senator from Texas, John Cornyyyyn, will be pounding the podium on the Senate floor over this issue tomorrow or next week, joined by McConnell, Alexander, and Corker. You know, the “conservative” Republican senators, who care nothing about their own careers, so completely dedicated to the national good are they day in and day out. /sarc

Setting aside the issue of being overly cooperative with Russia right now...

The MILES gear that they are referring to is a laser tag system of adapters - such as a barrel plug to make blanks work better; and a clip-on tube with a diaphragm on one end to detect noise, and a simple IR LED on the other - which allows you to use your regular weapons to play laser tag. It is not deep dark über-tech.

Am I understanding this correctly? I hope I’m not.

We are giving Russia free (paid by US tax payers)military equipment so they can invade a defenseless Ukraine. Then russia is punished for playing with their free toys. OK.

Yet there’s no freakin help for Ukraine even though USA did promise to protect Ukraine in 1991.

Meanwhile our military is being reduced to pre WWII levels.OK.
Who’s going to protect us? russia?

America is just too stupid, twisted and untrustful.

When is American Idol on?

I blame Congress, specifically the House. Had they even been cognizant of, no less responsible in the discharge of their duties we wouldn’t be facing such dire straits now.

And those who ran on, “We’ll defund obamacare”. Cowards all.

I’m somehow confused here, Treason over Benghazi and shutting down Tomahawk and Hellfire missiles, and supplying rifles to Mexican drug Cartels doesn’t seem to bother them, but giving MILES equipment to Russia does?
