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.

Klaus and the rest of the WEF are laughing their as*es off at us.

The WEF goons are getting a 2 for 1 deal. Supplying Ukraine with weapons and money is weakening Russia, and Supplying Ukraine with weapons and money we can't afford is weakening the US

[Blood of Tyrants]

It’s in that $385 billion Inflation Reduction package.

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

Big contrast to the Feds.

And thank you for your service to our country----while you were sober and on duty. 😁

Seems like a proxy war to me.

We aren’t winning...

There haven't enough "kick-back payments" that they need another $800 million? A lot of politicians are getting rich off of Ukraine. While the US public is having their savings inflated away. I wonder if the "kick-back" ratio is as much as 1 to 1,000 or 1 to 10,000. Guess a number. Rogue Government!

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

And all the while the Biden ministration is ripping open barricades on the southern border to commit demographic genocide on Americans. We no longer live in a free country.

That money should go to blankets, winter jackets, food, sterno, etc...General Winter is in garrison, getting ready to roll, and he's never been defeated.

Boy, that last $50 billion really went fast!

Nope, they like to be on threads where the war drums are pounding and the RUSSIA-RUSSIA-RUSSIA chants are being sung. They definitely avoid threads where OUR HUGE COSTS are being exposed.

I was just called a Communist by one because I was “using Kremlin propaganda”.
My crime…using the word warmonger.
