The Biden administration for the first time will send Ukraine four Avenger air defense systems as part of its latest $400 million weapons package, the Pentagon announced Thursday.

The most recent lethal aid tranche — which comes less than a week after the Defense Department on Nov. 4 announced a $400 million military assistance package — comes as the Russian military has announced a withdrawal from the southern city of Kherson, though the move is viewed as a possible ruse to inflict massive casualties on Ukrainian forces. It also drops during a brutal Kremlin missile barrage on major Ukrainian cities and infrastructure, which began last month.

Sorry dude...
Europe’s problems do not equal our problem.
Europe was at war with itself when christ was born....
It will be at war with itself when our great grandchildren are old and grey..
One of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson, said it best...
Europe is a continent in a constant state of war. Better for us to stay out of it.
Those words were true over 200 years ago, and they are still true today.

The air defense maybe redundant now. Russia has not launched a major missile and drone attack on electrical and water systems for a over month because they no longer have the weapons in inventory.

Rolling blackouts are survivable and are tons of humanitarian aid are getting sent. Russia made its attempt to retaliate on the Ukrainian population in hopes they would surrender or negotiate and failed.
