The U.S. will further bolster Ukraine's defense in the face of Russian invasion with an unprecedented third payment of $350 million, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Saturday.

The defense aid will include anti-armor, small arms and various munitions, and body armor and related equipment, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Saturday.

This a pay off? Asking for a friend.

Let the EU countries fund Ukraine. We have no skin in the game.

[Bishop_Malachi]

And right on cue the military-industrial-complex here in the US finds a way to benefit. I wonder how the US would react if a nation that bordered us joined a foreign military alliance.

[Rurudyne]

Will arrive in time to be seized by the Russians.

[CodeToad]

We, the Taxpayers, are paying this.

[Michael.SF.]

I am OK with sending weapons. Troops, no.

“..We have no skin in the game...”

The People don’t, but pedoJoe and Hunter do...a lot of “skin”. This is about them, not us.

[cdcdawg]

Is that $350M minus 10% for the big guy?

[laplata]

American oil imports to the tune of 700,000 barrels per day are excluded from the sanctions. WTH is Biden doing/thinking????????? We know the answer.

[dforest]

Poopy Head just asked for 6.8 billion for Ukraine and all they are going to get is $350M?

Who gets the rest?

[FirstFlaBn]

Mebbe Biden will disown the Monroe Doctrine. He’s big on empty symbolic pronouncements.

Spend that money on the nation's credit card, since we only owe an "official" $30 trillion.

The larger picture is as ugly as the close-ups. And the "fog of war" is always meant to profit the few.

How much war material was abandoned in Afghanistan again?

[rktman]

Someone will mistakenly send them ammo for ARs instead of AKs.

[realcleanguy]

Too little too late. It’s almost like Joe wants certain Ukraine leaders to die. Do they have too much on Joe and Hunter?

[rktman]

“They” never send me any small arms or ammo. WTH?

[Leaning Right]

> We, the Taxpayers, are paying this. <

Yes. And to be more exact, we the taxpayers are borrowing money to pay for this.

It can be reasonably debated whether or not sending arms to Ukraine is a good idea. But one thing is for sure. The United States is a debtor nation. Debtor nations that foolishly try to do everything, everywhere inevitably collapse.

[GreenHornet]

Will arrive in time to be seized by the Russians.

Exactly. This equipment should have been delivered to them months ago.

[Bob434]

It’s very expensive to handle millions. It cost billions ot handle millions apparently

[Reno89519]

Just in time to arrive and be received by Russia. Wonderful timing.

Saw some photos of civilians with wooden shaped firearms. My dad told me his unit trained with wooden silhouettes of firearms while trading for WW2.
