The United States plans to send Ukraine nearly 100 Stryker combat vehicles as part of a roughly $2.5 billion shipment of arms and equipment that is expected to be announced at a meeting of allies in Germany on Friday, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.
The decision to send the Strykers, which could be delivered within weeks, comes just days after Britain committed to sending Ukraine 14 Challenger battle tanks and the United States, France and Germany agreed to send dozens of armored infantry fighting vehicles, including 50 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Germany has also been under pressure to authorize the delivery of German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine.

It is a steady diet of BS which I guess you neocons like, since you post it all the time.
I don’t have an argument. You’re ogre level brain dead not to see that already.
You might look into the massive amounts of Western training that Ukraine has received for years and is currently receiving.
They’ve been taking an arm and and leg.
It’s a ripoff, Jim

These days, it can be necessary; unless one knows the poster.
“I don’t have an argument.”
No kidding.
I wonder if anyone has made the casual link between US spending in the Ukraine to the inflation rate?
