WASHINGTON – A Ukrainian delegation warned U.S. officials in Washington this week that security assistance packages are not arriving quick enough in the besieged country, a plea that comes amid Western security claims that the Kremlin will soon intensify its military campaign.
Over the past week, the delegation of Ukrainian civil society advocates, military veterans and former government officials met with 45 lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, officials at the departments of State and Defense and the National Security Council at the White House.
“It’s the 44th day of the war that we were supposed to lose on the third day,” began Daria Kaleniuk, who runs Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Center, a national organization that assists Ukraine’s parliament and prosecutor’s office.
“What we need now is to arm our military and our territorial defense units to be able to prevent more graves in the backyards of innocent people,” she said on Friday.
Kaleniuk added that U.S. lawmakers and Biden administration officials outlined a number of justifications for why certain weapons systems cannot be delivered, citing logistics issues, lack of inventory and bureaucratic limitations.
“The six-year-old boy who is visiting his mother’s grave in his backyard does not want to hear about bureaucracy as an excuse for not delivering weapons to Ukraine,” Kaleniuk said.
“This is an extraordinary situation where extraordinary measures have to be done. Lift your bureaucracy, lift it now. The president of the United States has huge power, Congress has huge power. We know it’s possible,” she added.
Earlier in the week, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba also made a plea to NATO allies to catalyze the delivery of their arms commitments.
“Either you help us now, and I’m speaking about days not weeks, or your help will come too late,” Kuleba told reporters at NATO’s headquarters.

During the Yom Kippur War, Nixon ordered direct airlifts of late model weaponry from US stocks in Europe to Israel, and raised the readiness level of US nuclear forces to DEFCON 3, in response to the possibility of Russian intervention:

Whereas currently, Moscow Joe is slow-walking the aid. Ukrainians are fighting a high-intensity war with a major power, and Moscow Joe is allocating aid to be provided at leisure. Meanwhile, we funded the Afghans lavishly to fight a two-bit enemy (the Taliban) engaged in desultory guerilla warfare that killed maybe a thousand combatants on both sides a month. The Ukrainians have killed over 15,000 Russians in a month. That takes a lot of ammo and equipment which gets used up or destroyed by the enemy. Modern warfare isn’t like its ancient counterpart - the weapons aren’t swords and spears that merely have to be cleaned off and sharpened to get more use out of them.
Moscow Joe was paid by Putin through Burisma, which is owned by one of Putin’s cronies, Zlochevsky, who left Ukraine along with Putin’s puppet, Yanukovich, after the Maidan Revolution.
I gotta hand it to Putin - he might not be the greatest war planner, but he made sure Trump was up to his eyeballs in alligators for the entire length of his tenure. Igor Danchenko, the guy who was arrested over his role in fabricating the Steele dossier, is Russian. He appears to be a Russian agent planted by Putin inside the Democratic party.

One of the ways you discredit your enemy is by planting evidence that suggests he is your paid agent. That was Danchenko’s assignment within the Democratic party - to help stick it to Trump.
Germany, Poland, Britain and France have armament industries, they make good hardware.
Let them give it to the Ukes.
Why does it have to be us?
Thanks Zhang Fei.
>> The six-year-old boy ...
At 5 YO, he studied geo-political defense strategies.
Why is it the good old USA’s responsibility to fund Ukraine when we have homeless vets all over the place? How about Ukraine using some of that laundromat money to buy weapons.
Guess which country has the most registered agents (lobbyists, passing out bribes) here in America?
Yup, Ukraine. By far. Over 2,000, with bags of cash.
They bribe politicians, reporters, families of politicians, anyone who will take the cash.
How about we stay the hell out of this one???

Putin has settled on an anti-Nazi crusade as his theme, much as Hitler settled on anti-Bolshevism. My guess is that these were all fig leaves - you can’t very well say you want masses of people to fight wars on your behalf so you can join Alexander in the ranks of the immortals, historically-speaking. So the cause has got to be something that captures the zeitgeist. In the 1930’s, that was anti-Bolshevism. Today, maybe Putin can recapture some of the magic, with his anti-Nazi crusade, that Hitler’s anti-Bolshevism helped motivate millions of Germans and a number of other nationalities to roll the dice with their own lives.
No conqueror ever tells all of his future targets he’s coming for all of them. That would make their choices easier - they’d *have* to ally against him. But that would also make his work harder - he’d have to fight their combined armies rather than be able to pick them off one by one.
Mr. Z should have spent the $15+ billion the USA gave him a bit more wisely. Sorry, the gravy train has left the station.

Translation:
The little twinkie wants more arms to sell on the black market, or he will squeal to the world how the US Democrats have been laundering Billions in taxpayer money through the Ukraine banks.
If the twinkie were still in Ukraine, the Russians would already have his gonads in a crusher, and he would be squealing anyway.
We have more problems than you can shake a stick at over here. I don’t think we need to add EMP attacks, cyber warfare, and WW III to the list.
So Reagan’s greater global, EU, and East Asia policy of “Peace Through Strength” which was strongly re-established by Trump, which included the US finally responding to Putin aggressively breaking critical elements of every arms treaty we have entered into with Moscow, which included Putin rearming Kaliningrad to the teeth, (as well as the Balkins) under Obama, and Trump re-establishing European missile defense and trying to abide by the US commitment to keep Ukraine free after Clinton had UA give up its nukes back to Russia, WAS ALL WRONG
But the Biden puppet “green lighting” and appeasing, Russian, Chinese, and Iranian economic and military policies is all okay, as long as Putin’s horrific brutality can resubordinate Ukraine under his large 22.5 million square km, 9 member subordinate CIS.

* The fact that Putin has bribed so many Western pols is likely why he was confident that sanctions imposed by the West would be minimal. His problem is that Zelensky rose to the occasion and proved to be an able spokesman for the Ukrainian cause. That, plus the fact he’s still in Kiev, where Boris Johnson and a number of other European pols met him, is keeping Western pols on their toes, re Ukrainian aid. But the promise of future bribes from Putin is likely keeping Western pols somewhat reluctant to open the spigots and actually hand over what they promised to Ukraine.
I don’t understand.
According to all the Propaganda news organizations, the Ukraine and Zelensky have killed like 2657 Russian generals and 3543 Russian Colonels and hundreds of thousands Russian soldiers.
So how can they be so desperate????

“BurismaJoe” has seen to it that many billions of $’s have arrived in Ukraine since 2014.
If Schwab’s globalist boyfriend Putin hadn’t attacked and tried to take Ukraine, guaranteed Russia wouldn’t have the current sanctions, your boy Putin could have continued to gain power and control of the EU by increasing EU energy dependency, what would have been a 20 year - near Trillion dollar NS2 Russian profit would be on track, your beloved Russian slavic ethnos Army wouldn’t have lost thousands dead, Ukraine wouldn’t be losing thousands of civilians, Zelensky would not be receiving large amounts of military aid, and the leftist puppet Biden would still look just as bad, or worse —
