The White House on Wednesday announced the latest in a series of aid packages for Ukraine that includes up to $300 million worth of air defense systems, ammunition and other defense equipment.

The security assistance package represents the 39th drawdown of equipment from the Department of Defense inventories, the Pentagon said. The package includes Patriot air defense batteries, Stinger anti-aircraft systems, tank ammunition and a list of other equipment, according to the Pentagon.

In total, the U.S. has committed more than $38.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including more than $37.6 billion since Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

Ukraine won’t survive this path. This is the path chosen for it by the Deep State.

Sounds like they’re still winning, huh? How much winning do they need to do? Until the U.S. runs out of money?

Until our corrupt congress insists on audits, bet the ranch on this number being 3-4x higher.

The package includes Patriot air defense batteries

Yeah, give 'em more Patriots.

That oughtta do the trick, just like the Patriot battery on May 16th that puked out 32 missiles and still got a Kh-47 up the gazoo.

Did Congress vote on this spending? That’s an important question, because the Constitution says the House alone controls the purse strings.

I kid, of course. We now live in the age of the imperial presidency. Any spending that’s not buried in some bill somewhere can be done by the stroke of the president’s pen.

And Congress won’t care. They are either too busy plotting a socialist revolution (AOC and Sanders) or drinking martinis at the country club (McConnell and his GOPe pals).

“Ukraine won’t survive this path. This is the path chosen for it by the Deep State”.

That’s right. Ukraine dies and the powers that be get richer and richer. They’re swimming in blood and don’t give a damn.

DemRATs always seem delighted to burn through the defense inventories but I sure cannot recall them having any enthusiasm for replacing it. They're like the clowns that borrow your tools but never return them.
