WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s top aides bluntly told lawmakers in a private meeting on Wednesday that if Congress fails to authorize additional military aid for Ukraine in the coming days, Russia could win the war in a matter of weeks — months at best, according to two people familiar with the meeting.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan and the Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told the lawmakers that Ukraine will run out of certain air defense and artillery capabilities in the coming weeks, according to the people familiar with the meeting.
The grim assessment, which one White House official described as “incredibly stark,” was delivered as the future of Ukraine aid has never been more uncertain. It also comes as White House officials are increasingly alarmed at the prospect of Biden failing to follow through with his promise that the U.S. will be there for Kyiv “as long as it takes.”
In Wednesday’s meeting at the White House, Sullivan and Haines gave the top congressional leaders a classified time frame for when Ukraine’s key military resources will be significantly depleted, and a detailed assessment of the current dynamics on the battlefield, the two people familiar with the meeting said.

US officials are both, evil & stupid.
“Nearly a year since the start of the war, the U.S. Congress has allocated $113 billion toward supporting Ukraine.”
In total, CBO estimated that $6.6 billion of the $113 billion would be spent in FY 2022 and another $37.7 billion in FY 2023. Furthermore, CBO estimated more than half of the approved funds would be spent by the end of FY 2024 and more than three-fourths by the end of FY 2026.

Luke 14:31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
The problem is, NATO is the king with ten thousand, but they conned Zelensky into believing they had thirty thousand.
(or maybe NATO was just delusional and really believed they had thirty thousand. We certainly see that from the Zeepers)
The pro-Taiwan war types also need to do a real deep think on this verse.

Ukraine surviving, is up to Germany - a country that values its trade relations with Moscow.
The U.S. cannot solve that problem for Ukraine.
And, EURO-NATIONAL-SOCIALISM in which, all of Germany, Ukraine, Netherlands, France, Belgium and a part of Moscow participate, is obsessed with its “scientific data” (the statistics industry) ownership and control of land and production.
In which “managed sustainabilities,” Blackrock has been negotiating to be a leader.
That is, a belief system among many in positions of policies and power, who continue to iterate their thoughts in communications, that their financial “reasoning” will prevail over the ofher part of Moscow that has a long term belief in its ability to produce gun barrels and artillery shells.
“Do you know about the massive and incredibly expensive military buildup Trump was doing in NATO ...”
Well, we do know about Repub politicians like McCaul, who wasn’t interested in the Mexico Wall, but can’t send enough money to Ukraine.
And McCaul is behaving exactly like every other Western elected politician, who all have their own open border crisis, but they are focused on Ukraine.

“Obama zombie ww3 Armageddon “
LOL !
“Obama zombie” - that’s Biden for sure.
As stark as our open borders?
“ Yet Trump had to beg, borrow and steal 6 billion for the wall. With a Republican House.”
And he *never got the money* - it was “too expensive” said the crooks in congress
By Mitch McConnell’s words I’d say he is one of them.
I believe Trump will be, once again, extremely tough against Russia.
Trump was the one who initiated the mass shipping of high-tech US weapons to Ukraine. While Obama only sent “pillows and blankets” as Trump repeatedly said.
Only Trump has the true will to force Russia out of Ukraine.
Trump is the only President in US history who threatened to annihilate Moscow if Putin decided to attack Ukraine.
But then came the US elections... The guy who scared Putin to death, was ejected from the WHite House...
Trump admitting Russia is committing atrocities in Ukraine:
“Russia’s attack on Ukraine is a terrible atrocity”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhddrjjR7ts
“Trump is the only President in US history who threatened to annihilate Moscow if Putin decided to attack Ukraine.”
Lie.
Everything Biden says ends up a grim assessment his proxy war was a money bon fire waste of lives.
He lacks any skills or knowledge of how to negotiate plan ahead or understand the results of stupid actions.
His party members backed him on his actions mass stupidity on the march.
Rigged election has bad results evry time.
Oh no my friend, its TRUE :
Trump’s threat to bomb Moscow if it invaded Ukraine ‘has truth to it’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XtqhOUCuPk&t=5s
“Sky News host Rita Panahi says the report that Donald Trump would have bombed Moscow if Russia invaded Ukraine when he was president has some truth to it.
Footage emerged of Mr Trump on a phone call with golfer John Daly where he reiterated that he would have bombed Moscow during his tenure if Russia invaded Ukraine.
“While he was in the White House, Putin behaved himself,” Ms Panahi said.
“This week the story was proved by none other than the man himself, Donald Trump.”
Friggin hilarious how far you people will reach.
Did you see the video? I guess you didnt right?
In that video you hear Trump himself saying it! He boasts about attacking Moscow.
Trump says he would send nuclear submarines to Russia if he was President: Fox Business host presses him on what extra help he would give Ukraine and whether midterms should be about ‘rigged’ 2020
However, the ex-president was less than clear when Varney asked exactly what he would provide Ukraine with that Biden isn’t.
‘There’s this discussion about whether we should send jets, MiG jets to help the Ukrainian Air Force. Would you send in that kind of help?’ the host asked, lending Trump a helping hand.
But Trump took it a step further, replying: ‘Well maybe even more, to be honest with you.’
‘Like what, Mr. President, like what?’ Varney asked over Trump’s interruptions.
But Trump launched into a meandering answer about the atrocities in Ukraine, which he called a ‘human tragedy,’ without going further into what he would send beyond jets.
You seem to have SERIOUSLY misjudged Trump.
He will become the perfect anti-russian weapon we are all waiting for. Trump has always respect his word.
Make it stop, please Lord.
