Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced a $2.3 billion security assistance package for Ukraine ahead of a meeting with his Ukrainian counterpart Tuesday.

The package will include critical air defense interceptors and other weapons. A spokesperson for the Pentagon said more details on the package would be made available soon.

Austin met with Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov at the Pentagon Tuesday and underscored the U.S. commitment to defending the country against a Russian invasion.

“Ukraine is in a tough fight,” Austin said in remarks ahead of the meeting, adding “make no mistake, Ukraine is not alone.”

The Pentagon chief also noted that the U.S. has signed a 10-year bilateral security agreement with Ukraine, providing Kyiv with defense cooperation guarantees over a decade. He added that he would discuss with Umerov additional ways to strengthen the partnership.

That is to say that Biden Administration has agreed to incur another $2.3 billion in debt for the United States in order to continue the slaughter of white Christians all in the name of globalism.

It’s basically Monopoly Money and will do nothing but send inflation higher.

At one time, such things were called a treaty, and required a 2/3 confirmation by the Senate. But nobody’s got time for that. So let’s just call it an agreement instead.
🙁

The $60b appropriated earlier. When that’s exhausted, Congress will have to vote on more aid in 2025.

There are probably people behind the scenes raking their brains and having sleepless nights just trying to figure out how to prolong this bloodshed.

The Pentagon has already spent or lost it all.

Thats what happened last time.

Of course, nothing was done.

When you do nothing in DC, you invite it. Tacit approval.

The Draft has been coming up in a lot of discussions of college students lately. Not only are they unwilling to sacrifice themselves for some money laundering war of the deep state, but a new wrinkle is that they are not going to drop bombs on innocent civilians like it’s a video game. One twenty-two year old said he flat out refused to go and butcher people. He said he’d go to prison first.

These are equipment transfers funded by the $61 billion aid package passed this year.

Note that its specified that these are drawdowns on US stocks.
