US sending advanced rocket systems to Ukraine

The Biden administration will send long-range rocket systems as part of a $700 million weapons package to Ukraine, senior administration officials told reporters on Tuesday night.

The new package is set to include High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and munitions to allow Ukrainians to more precisely strike targets from a greater distance inside Ukraine, the officials said.

The official added that the systems would be used to repel Russian systems; they would not be used inside Russian territory.

The news comes following conflicting messages from the White House after multiple news outlets reported that the administration was preparing to provide Ukraine with U.S.-made Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, which can fire rockets up to 300 kilometers.

Biden told reporters on Monday that the U.S. was “not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that strike into Russia,” as there are concerns about escalating the war into a larger conflict.

The chowderheads in the White House are sending some of the most advanced conventional weapons on the planet to a 2nd world country for free while at the same time they’re demanding 9mm pistols to be outlawed here.

Enough of this crap. If Ukraine wants our weapons they can pay cash for them.

These rocket systems should have been there two months ago. Biden vetoes more equipment than he sends. He is incompetent and does not really give a flip about Ukraine except to cover up his son’s dealings with corrupt officials. Biden’s DC is the center of corruption. We need a prez who will stop slow-walking vital systems and support the Cossacks in their valiant efforts to kill more Russian invaders.

So, what about the remaining $39,300,000,000? Or are these bonus weapons?

As opposed to Zelenskyy's Kyiv.

That is true. DC is the champion of the world when it comes corruption as in wasting money, not serving the people, perverting laws, subsidizing evil, and covering up the truth.

I’ve traveled in Russia. I’ve traveled in Ukraine. I have family and friends in the Ukraine. I know how evil the Russian land grab is. There is nothing psycho about it. My wife’s hometown in the Donbas is experiencing horrific crimes due to the fake “separatist” movement and the full-scale Russian invasion.

“GIVE” is a word that applies to supplying bread to starving orphans.

“SELL” is a word that applies to supplying weapons to Ukraine.

I didn’t miss anything. You missed my point that Biden and DC are more corrupt than Zelensky and Kiev. But America is more than Biden and DC. Ukraine is more than Zelensky and Kiev.

And it will take months for the Ukranians to learn to use these weapons. This is all PR for Biden and will get more Ukranians killed. So evil. Negotiate to end this devastation of Ukraine you demented moron.

So you have no facts. All you do is call names. I have experience in the Ukraine. You have Russian propaganda. That is a fact.

Yep.

"I have friends and family in Ukraine"

Just like:

"I have many friends and family who have died of Covid"

Unverifiable claptrap.

The "latest thing" has experts coming out of the woodwork.

Remember when Katrina hit New Orleans? The police were confiscating everyone’s guns. Some BS reason about keeping order, or whatever.
Anyway, it was blatantly unconstitutional.
I think Biden is trying to get sentiment so stirred up in this country that that he WILL come after gun owners with an executive order, or dare I say it, martial law.
Alinsky, Cloward-Piven tactics.
Give Ukraine more weapons, and even possibly tactical nukes, risking nuclear war, or causing enough chaos in this country to use as an excuse to come after them.
Or maybe I’m overthinking this a little bit.
