U.S. rushes weapons into Ukraine as Biden predicts a Russian invasion
CBS via MSN ^ | 20 Jan 2022 | Christina Ruffini

U.S. officials confirmed to CBS News that the Biden administration had given permission to several NATO allies to send emergency shipments of U.S.-made weapons — including anti-tank missiles — to Ukraine to reinforce the country's defenses. State Department sources said allies including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the U.K. were cleared to make "Third Party Transfers" of U.S.-made and supplied equipment to Ukraine, which one official described as part of a race "to get as much gear to the Ukrainians as quickly as possible."

Biden gave Putin the go-ahead yesterday. Now his handlers rush to fix the idiocy.

Way to little too late.

6 years of the DNCMedia and democrats (but I repeat myself) using Russia as a foil and boogey man come back to haunt us.

To the Trump haters--does nuclear war work better for you without a mean tweet Orangeman in charge? Was it worth it?

I guess they didn’t lose enough military hardware in Afghanistan so now they wanna lose it in Ukraine.

Virtue signaling imbeciles.

How nice of Biden to move all that equipment into Ukraine for Russia to take. Now they won’t have to buy any of our equipment from the Taliban.

It’s a waste of time and money.
How much training on the equipment will the Ukrainians have?
Without training, it is pretty much useless.

Thank God I’m out in the sticks of lower Alabama.

I won’t die in a radioactive fireball like those Trump haters.

At least the fake news propagandists won’t make it in their desolated cities...

The goal is to have Ukranians fight Russians, preferably in a long, drawn-out, painful war which hobbles both of them.

The deep state is all about sowing chaos, which it controls.

Yeah, but we are so wealthy that it doesn’t even matter. It’s not like we are 30 trillion in debt with a statement economy or anything. /s

These aren’t US supplied weapons, rather European weapons we gave them permission to provide. We don’t appear to be doing anything. As Joe said, we’ll do sanctions after the fact.

Biden “predicts”! LOL! He can’t even predict when his bowels will let loose again.

Maybe they could send some of the US arms cache in Afghanistan to Ukraine. I have it on good authority that there is an $80 billion pile of arms there.

Having the Baltic countries cannibalize their own weapons plays right into Putin’s hands.

Why would Russia nuke a city that is already destroyed, and under the control of allies?

“Biden gave Putin the go-ahead yesterday. Now his handlers rush to fix the idiocy. “

It’s misleading. This happened before his speech. It’s been going on for weeks.
“Lawmakers who traveled to Ukraine in recent days said officials there were pleased with anti-tank weaponry that had just arrived from the United States, but pushed for more, including defensive anti-aircraft platforms.” (Navy Times)
