You could load them fruitcakes into a catapult, then, let 'er rip!

Ukraine’s war-time leader Volodymyr Zelensky is in Washington on Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to salvage Ukraine aid talks ahead of the winter holiday recess.
He faces an uphill climb. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said Tuesday afternoon that a deal before Christmas was “practically impossible,” though he said he remained committed to Kyiv’s fight.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), after meeting with Zelensky in the morning, reiterated that any aid for Kyiv must be coupled with border security.
President Biden sought to reassure the Ukrainian leader at the start of their meeting at the White house Tuesday afternoon.
“I don’t want you giving up hope,” Biden told Zelensky. “We’re going to stay at your side.”
President Biden has requested about $60 billion in additional Ukraine support as part of a more than $100 billion supplemental spending package that has hit multiple hurdles in Congress.

I would have told him to take his yachts and disappear before the ruskies find him.
Meanwhile Biden gives no hope to working class United States citizens.
In truth, Zelensky has probably been blackmailing biden and DC all along. But now, DC has run out of money. So Zelensky is now in a bind, his leverage is gone. If he was smart, he’d spill the beans on biden, the corrupt state department and all the corruption coming out of DC.
THAT would be funnier than hell. Z-man dishing out all the dirt on the Biden’s just before Christmas.
Hope. It’s what in the next shipment of “not enough.”
It’s Biden who refuses to budge.....on the border.
--- "...just before Christmas."
Yes, please! What a lump of coal in that stocking!
Republicans refuse to budge Biden seeing first hand his power fading fast.
“I want you giving up dope,” Biden told Hunter.
“I want you giving up dope,” Biden told Hunter.
I don’t think he has ever said that.
That’s the problem !
We don’t have ammo to send, but it’s Christmas season and there will be lots of left over and unwanted fruit cakes that could be collected and sent. Think of the damage one of those will do to a Russian tank.
Besides it would save us from storing them until next year... or the year after...or.....
Probably what’s really going on....
Buried down in that ~$100B package for ISR/UKR is $18B for the US DoD to replace abandoned equipment in Afghanistan AND for armaments that have been badly depleted by giving our stock to UKR.
GREAT, refuse to budge !!!
You are right on that! The exchange probably went along these lines: Zelensky: “Joe pay me x number of dollars or the World will learn what your Bio Labs contain”! Joe: The money will be on the next plane out.”
When I saw the new post message I thought you might be writing to tell me Claxton has become a defense contractor. :^)
That would certainly be an appropriate delivery method; saving many a howitzer barrel.
But would the land ever be inhabitable after using them in warfare? No one has lived long enough to know the shelf life of a fruit cake. It’s said that the first neolithic fruit cake still exists.
opps, “inhabitable” should have been “habitable”.
