Biden administration announces additional $1 billion in military aid for Ukraine
CNN ^ | June 15, 2022 | Barbara Starr, Jeremy Herb and Oren Liebermann

The Biden administration announced on Wednesday it was providing an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine to fight Russia, a package that includes shipments of additional howitzers, ammunition and coastal defense systems.

The latest weapons package comes as Ukraine's military is burning through its Soviet-era ammunition, while Ukrainian officials have pleaded with the West to send additional heavy weaponry as the war with Russia girds on.

Western intelligence and military officials believe the war is at a critical stage that could determine the long-term outcome of the conflict, while Russia has amassed a significant artillery advantage around two key cities in eastern Ukraine.

A Pentagon spokesman said the US has now committed more than $5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February. Milley says Milley said that despite Russian forces outnumbering and outgunning the Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region, Russian consolidation of its control in eastern Ukraine was "not a done deal."

“Kim Dotcom: This may be the most important thread I ever make. Big picture stuff about the major global collapse that is coming.”

https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/kim-dotcom-this-may-be-the-most-important-thread-i-ever-make-big-picture-stuff-about-the-major-global-collapse-that-is-coming/

“Let’s do the math:

US total debt
$90 trillion

US unfunded liabilities
$169 trillion

Total
$259 trillion

Minus all US assets
$193 trillion

Balance
- $66 trillion

That’s $66 trillion of debt and liabilities after every asset in the US has been sold off.

Do you understand?

It’s all perception, denial and dependency.

The perception is that the US has the largest economy and the strongest military in the world. But in reality the US is broke and can’t afford its army.

The denial is that all nations depend on a strong USD or global markets collapse.”

Actually I think Biden is slow walking the weapons to Ukraine.

Trump would have provided them long ago.

It was after all the Obama/Biden administration that sent Ukraine blankets instead of weapons.

It was Trump who started sending them weapons. And Biden held shipments Trump had scheduled as soon as Biden took office.

Well then $200 billion more isn’t going to make much difference is it?

US GDP is $25 trillion a year. And the US assets are probably vastly understated. Especially if they are carried at purchase price.

So think of the excess debt like a mortgage. $66 Trillion (mortgage) / $25 Trillion (Income) = 2.64. So it’s like a household that has a $100,000 income having a mortgage of $264,000.

It’s high, but it’s not the end of the world.

Congress needs to stop rubber stamping Biden’s aid to Ukraine - American citizens are fed up with funding Bidens pet adventures.

“The total value of ALL companies listed on the US stock market is $53 trillion. The real value is much lower because the US has been printing trillions to provide interest free loans to investment banks to pump up the stock market. It’s a scam.

Most of the $53 trillion is air.”

“The value of all US assets combined, every piece of land, real estate, all savings, all companies, everything that all citizens, businesses, entities and the state own is worth $193 trillion.

That number is also full of air just like the US stock market.”

I am quoting from Kim Dotcom. If you choose to believe him then you will realize we, that is the US, are broke. If you choose not to believe him then perhaps we can keep on spending for forever wars.

Most households pay down their mortgages.

The latest weapons package comes as Ukraine's military is burning through its Soviet-era ammunition

The Ukrainians need more artillery ammo to attack unarmed civilians in Donetsk.

The neocon/globalist cabal that runs the demented, corrupt Biden are more than happy to fund this Slavic deathfest.
