Biden directs $200 million in defense aid for Ukraine

President Biden on Saturday directed Secretary of State Antony Blinken to provide $200 million in defense aid for Ukraine, including for military education and training.

Biden directed the funding via a memorandum authorizing a drawdown.

A drawdown is an order issued by the president to assist countries in an emergency without first seeking approval from a legislative authority or budgetary appropriations, according to a Department of Defense handbook.

Saturday's memo notes Blinken can use the aid for military training and to provide general "assistance to Ukraine and to make the determinations required."

Isn’t it a little bit late for this?

In a few weeks, Ukraine will be Russia again.

So in a few weeks if Ukraine becomes a puppet government of Putin, Putin will thank Biden for the money?

We’ll arm Ukraine and then Russia will get the weapons and supplies. Shades of Afghanistan.

He’s waiting for Ukraine to surrender before sending in 85 billion worth of high tech military equipment for the Russians.

More foreign aid to be laundered and brought back to the US and make our politicians rich.

There’s no other explanation for the number of millionaires who became so on a $175k annual salary.

There’s no way a bumbling idiot like Joe Biden could become a millionaire without corruption, graft, and money laundering. There’s no way.

“... $200 million in defense aid for Ukraine ...”

Biden doesn’t think that Putin would see this as the U.S. entering the conflict? This is OK, but transfer of Polish MiGs to Ukraine is not OK?

Personally, I am against the U.S. doing any of this. Let the EU take on this burden. They have the most at stake.

I think “millionaire” is conservative in the extreme. If you add his circle of friends’ and family’s wealth, “Billionaires” are more close.

More money laundering for Ukraine. Maybe Putin and Biden are running this scam together ?

Actually, just announce that we have officially transferred ownership of all equipment left behind in Afghanistan to Ukraine. All they have to do is pick it up.

More money to assure Ukraine is destroyed and Russia can find more of Biden family’s dirty dealings there.
