President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday after a deluge of Russian missiles targeted cities across Ukraine, condemning the strikes and pledging continued US security assistance “including advanced air defense systems.”
During the call, a White House statement said, Biden “expressed his condemnation of Russia’s missile strikes across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, and conveyed his condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured in these senseless attacks. President Biden pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems.”
The White House did not specify which air defense systems Biden discussed with Zelensky, but the United States previously committed to providing Ukraine with National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems. NASAMS would be capable of engaging Russian cruise missiles.

What do us taxpayers get? Besides the shaft.
Is the Biden Administration intentionally weakening our military and burning up our strategic petroleum reserve to set us up for a Chinese takeover of Taiwan.
What would they be doing different if they were intentionally setting us up?
More money that we don’t have for one of the most corrupt countries in the world. We STILL have zero national interests in Ukraine.
Nothing. I think you are 100% correct in your assessment. Weaken us domestically, militarily and internationally. Europe sure won’t stand with us after this winter.
More wasted tax dollars. They would be destroyed before they could even be used.
So they can be sold to the Chinese. It’s part of Biden’s plan.
The Democrats, for some reason, have wanted to destabilize Russia for years.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has given them the excuse they needed.
The only value to the US is to have a real combat test of the effectiveness of various weapons systems.
On the part of Russia the appropriate riposte would be to conduct a maximum effort bombardment aimed at causing as much damage to the enemy population centers as possible and trying very hard to track US material delivery and strike the delivery points with an explicit goal of killing as many S personnel in the material delivery teams and loudly broadcasting the casualties to the American people plainly stating How many dead American soldiers is the Ukraine worth to you?
China owns Biden. I’m sure Russia is well aware of exactly what China has been up to.

Yes.
need to give Ukraine cruise missiles they can target Putin with.
Sweet, let’s give Russia even more real world practice countering our weapons systems. Morons….
We still never got any of the equipment back from Afghanistan when we left a year ago that was worth upwards of $87 billion USD, or I haven’t heard anything if we did.
There’s no ‘chain of custody’ on these advanced systems once they’re in Ukraine.... let alone any other weapons flooding Ukraine.
