WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President Joe Biden's administration is readying about $800 million of additional military aid to Ukraine and could announce it as soon as Friday, three sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday.

Biden would authorize the assistance using his Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows the president to authorize the transfer of excess weapons from U.S. stocks, the sources told Reuters.

The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that an announcement could slip into next week, cautioning that weapons packages can change in value before they are announced.

The White House declined to comment.

They think our taxes are from a giant, bottomless moneybag.

We used to say the Dems spend like drunken sailors on shore leave on Saturday night.

Now we know that was a cruel knock against the sailors who now look like careful stewards of wealth compared to them.

Excellent point. At the back of the line and then told “everything was spent.”

Take a lesson from History: What happened to France after emptying their treasury supporting a foreign war in the 1780’s. Not being ungrateful but a word to the wise.

Don’t they have to get this approved? This is insane. They’re sending their extortion money right out in the open.

Spend to infinity, and drive it into the ground. There is 0 accountability to the people of our country.

As an ex-drunken sailor I can state unequivocally that I never spent a single cent that I didn’t actually have.

Bogdan Boutkevitch: You need to kill 1.5 million people in Donbass
(Taken from the Ukrainian TV Station hromadske TV, financed by the Dutch and US Embassies in Kiev

This is what the United States has been supporting with our weapon arsenal, our treasury and 200,000-300,000 dead and wounded Ukrainians.

And our evil Deep State does it under the guise of “democracy.”

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. We have become a nation of gullible, indoctrinated fools.
