Another $1B
President Joe Biden’s administration is prepared to send Ukraine a $1 billion weapons package as early as Monday, according to a Reuters report.
(snip)
The $1 billion weapons package would come just days after the Pentagon announced it would send Ukraine arms and equipment from the U.S. Department of Defense inventory worth up to $550 million.
“The United States continues to stand with Allies and partners from more than 50 countries in providing vital security assistance to support Ukraine’s defense of its sovereignty and territorial integrity against Russia’s aggression,” a State Department press release said.

Senators and Congressmen will rush to increase the dollar amount.
This is a total payoff.
This like olive oil business in the Godfather and the car wash on Breaking Bad. This aid is nothing but part of a money laundering operation.
That’s a big drop from the $40 Billion @ a month ago. What gives?
1 Billion without even vote from congress?
Waste of our money...
We can reduce the national debt by selling directly to the international arms dealers
Seems like the Pentagon is large and in charge of supporting Zelinsky.
Jao is just along for the ride.
I’m beginning to think so as well......that was the deal.
😉👍
Right. It is misleading to say that Biden will give $1 billion to Ukraine. The United States is a debtor nation. So it is more accurate to say that Biden will borrow $1 billion, then give it to Ukraine. This is financial insanity on a galactic scale.
And nobody in power except Rand Paul cares about this. Even Trump brushed it off when he was president.
10% for Big Guy,
10% for Piglosi
Etc,etc,etc.
why are we even propping up this stupid loser country?
.
Biden has declared an emergency - and he doesn’t need approval from Congress:
“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.”
.
A gift of hush money from Hunter Brandon’s creepy senile dad.
Effectively the United States is in a shooting war with Russia using a proxy army which we are outfitting. Our heavy sanctions against Russia are also tactics of war.
There will be consequences.
If they keep it up, maybe they can contribute to climate change with a nuclear exchange and still blame it on fossil fuels
US Senator Everett Dirksen: “A few billion dollars here and a few billion dollars there. After a while you’re talking about some real money.” (on budget spending)
they fired Hunter's prosecutor
The description is a transfer of existing stocks of bombardment missiles and surplus (obsolete) vehicles. Thats M113’s for heavens sake, Vietnam era stuff.
The US has enough of these surplus military stocks to fight the old Soviet Union or the figurative “land war in Asia”.
What actual use does the US have for all this? To invade Canada?
