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."

We can be sure they’ll have pillows and blankets. Some of these “allies” are anything but.

Who in their right mind would go to war with the current crop of woke, gender-confused generals that America has now?

The paltry amount of equipment sold or given to the tiny Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania won't make a dent in Russian Imperial forces while providing a casus belli for Russia to make the long planned move to invade again.

Then there's that geography thing of transporting stuff to Ukraine.

“Was it worth it”

To them, absolutely! I have a radically liberal niece in CA, who just recently said, “we must go further left to punish the IDIOTS who elected Trump”. So if she was asked, was it worth it, she would emphatically say, YES.

There isn't going to be any nuclear war. That claim is the geopolitical equivalent of equating COVID with the Black Death.

We've had years to train and equip Ukraine's army to prevent another Russian attack but have done next to nothing. Like most of what the US government does now, this is all politically motivated theatrics.

These are primarily re-loads for weapons the Ukraine already fields... like Javelin ant-tank missiles which will be fired off in huge numbers in the first 24-48 hours.

Good idea... Give away as much expensive military technology
as they can... The Russians will appreciate the gift, just like they appreciated the port of Sevastopol in the Crimea where the Russian navy and the black sea fleet now operate...
Thanks to Obama.

He gave new supplies to Afghanistan a month before he made them the most armed nation in the Middle East. Which side is he on.

Biden has predicted a dark winter of death, an illegitimate election in 2022, and now a Russian invasion of Ukraine.

2546!

Make Brandon go away.

Just for the record, I’m against going to war with Russia.

HOWEVER, the LEFT has used the Russian boogeyman to thump Trump and in doing so painted themselves into a corner. Now comes Wag the Dog, when they, not Russia, react, because they’ve fed the propaganda to the DNCMEdia who will howl and moan about it. How Schizophrenic. Six months ago, Biden’s handlers allowed Germany to addict themselves to Russian gas, and now they want to confront Russia?

I am worried that Biden and his handlers will do something stupid, not just say something stupid, to kick it all off.

THAT is my claim and I think it is worth your consideration.

Thank you.
That is a relief.
At least it isn’t a waste.

The Russians will own those weapons. Like the Taliban does in Afghanistan.
