The Biden administration's next security assistance package for Ukraine is expected to be $1 billion, one of the largest so far, and include munitions for long-range weapons and armoured medical transport vehicles, three sources briefed on the matter told Reuters on Friday.

Last Monday, the Pentagon announced a separate security assistance package for Ukraine valued at up to $550 million, including additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).

The new package would be funded under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), in which the president can authorize the transfer of articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval in response to an emergency.

Send more $40 Billions

[minnesota_bound]

What happened to the other $60+ billion?

[algore]

I never voted for this, WTF ?

At least no one in the white house or their family ever had Ukrainian dealings, and certainly not Fauci either

[FlingWingFlyer]

Faking a war with the Ukraine clowns was a brilliant way for the Russkis to stock up on U.S. weapons. Once this billion dollars worth is delivered, the Russkis take off the kid gloves, kick some Uke ass and take all the weapons we sent back to Russia with them. Brilliant move they used against our demented old retard.

modern day money laundering.

Flimsey Grahamnesty doesn’t think we can spend enough money in Ukraine.

[ClearCase_guy]

Yeah, it’s usually $40B.

I guess we’ve figured out the game Ukraine The Loser is playing.

[Justa]

It gets spent on all kinds of stuff.

Here’s $12 million being spent on Russians.

But the personnel who check/verify and validate equipment supplies aren’t allowed in UKR. A lot of fraud to be sure.

[jughandle]

Only the politically crazed leftists seem to be supporting it anymore so you know we lose in the end.

[Hodar]

I am old enough to remember President Trump going to court defending his request for just $5 Billion

[escapefromboston]

Better make it two billion, I’m worried that Ukraine might not be safe for gay marriage

[cranked]

Russian military budget 2021: $65.9 billion.

Consider what we, the US, have sent the global/US money laundromat and blackhole called Ukraine already and do the math, then compare. Have you said to yourself yet: W T F!?

Won’t change anything tho.

[House Atreides]

Our resident NEOCONS will say Ukraine is doing bad in the war solely because the West isn’t supporting them adequately in both amount and in quickness.

PLEASE SEND MORE CRATES OF $100 BILLS!🤦🏼🤦🏼🎉🎊💉💉

[silverleaf]

Should ask your Congress person how many Russians and Ukrainians our weapons can kill for another Billion….

The new package would be funded under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), in which the president can authorize the transfer of articles and services from U.S. stocks without congressional approval in response to an emergency.

Monkeypox? Where’s the emergency? Can you imagine what would have happened if PDJT used this PDA for $1 billion to build the wall?

[Karl Spooner]

Dollar bills aren't going to win the war if we aren't capable of supplying the munitions needed to begin with.

=====================================================================

Todays bad news for Ukraine:

Ukraine withdrawing from key posistions
"Horrendes Russian artillery barrages"
Ukrainians rationing ammunition (less that 30% of what they need)
Russians have unexhaustable supple of ammo, artillery, missiles
All Ukrainian "counteroffenses" put on hold until next year. lol
Western supply chains unable to supply Ukraine with enough munitions required to continue war.
Very heavy Ukrainian loss of life on the battle front.

We edge closer to the trajectory of Ancient Rome where the Senate degenerated into a debating society of old men and the Emperor had all the power.

[Vision]

No. And they do this fresh off spending money we don’t have to cure inflation. Clown world.

[Signalman]

I wonder how much of this $$$ is going into the pockets of Ukraine’s version of the Bidens and other corrupt officials.

[jpp113]

I bet all of this boondoggle money may be coming out of our defense budget, weakening our military. Same thing with the woke crap, weakening our military.

The globalists/WEF (which includes Brandon’s mis-administration) are working to demilitarize the US AND Russia. They play footsie with China, but wait until they turn on them too. They need to get rid of all the present day big players in order to fulfill their Utopian (Communist) mission.
