No interruption of U.S.-Ukrainian training or logistics operations....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Yeah, I’m sure you’re just orgasming over this stupid news that once again give American citizens the shaft.

... DOD’s activities in response to the Russian invasion.

Meanwhile, Biden won't mind not responding to the Mexican invasion.

Here's your sweetheart posing with the dancing homosexual puppet of the Globalist scum.

The Ukrainiacs don’t give a feces that our own country is being destroyed.

[Venkman]

I guess the military is in charge of the federal government now. So much for the separation of powers.

[midwest_hiker]

Yet military training for US soldiers IS being cancelled due to
The games in Washington at this very moment.

Am I missing something? I don’t see the source for this posted.

Today Polish leader compared Ukraine to a drowning man, who will drag anyone down to the depths that tries to save him.

[Timber Rattler]

But at the same time he also said that Russia must be defeated!

Can't ignore the rest of the quote.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Seen. Read. Thanks. Seems to be about training, not funding:

"Only military training and exercises 'required to achieve and maintain operational readiness and to prepare for and carry out such operations' will be exempted from a potential shutdown this year, according to guidance issued by the Pentagon last week."

The actual DoD PDF is instructive.

Why do we have any “operations” involving Ukraine?

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Well, of course, the Congressional and bureaucratic kickbacks can’t be endangered.

[for-q-clinton]

I don’t care what side you’re on, but this is 100% anti-constitutional. Congress controls the purse strings. The Executive branch doesn’t get to decide what gets funded or not. For mission essential requirements those are pre-identified and approved. By this logic the executive branch can just declare everything required and spend whatever they want.

[Kazan]

Of course, the last thing the political class wants is their money laundering operation in Ukraine shutdown.

What's outrage is POS like you is all for continuing to spend billions on this war. In case you have noticed, you're the vast minority and the majority is getting increasingly ticked off about the money being wasted on it.

[Allegra]

Thank you.

Yep. Biden is king. Dictator, whatever.
