The U.S. is preparing to send Ukraine an additional $725 million in military assistance, including counter-drone systems and munitions for its High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, which could indicate more of the longer-range missiles are headed to the battlefield.
Two U.S. officials did not confirm whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the coveted ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — but Ukraine has been pressing for more of the longer-range missiles to strike additional targets inside Russia.
The package also includes more anti-personnel landmines that Ukraine is counting on to slow Russian and North Korean ground forces in the Kursk region.

How about redirecting that money to victims of Helene that are freezing in tents since it is US taxpayer dollars?
No more wasted in Ukraine.
See... We are NOT going to “let” Zelenzkyy call a ceasefire. The Nation Builders are just not going to let it happen.
This ain’t a 10% deal. This is a 50% deal.
Aren't land mines forbidden these days?
Biden himself condemned the use of anti-personnel mines in the strongest language. He called it a war crime.
My thoughts exactly.
Barely a dime for Americans in NC.
it’s criminal really

This fall has been grim for Ukraine. According to our assessment, between 1 September and 30 November, the Russians captured over 1600 km2 in Ukraine, and retook roughly 500 km2 in Kursk. The rate of advance accelerated every month, despite the Russians suffering heavy losses.
“Biden himself condemned the use of anti-personnel mines in the strongest language. He called it a war crime”
He also said he wouldn’t pardon that crackhead son of his either......which means if his lips are moving you can expect it to be a damned lie every time.
ENOUGH!
let Ukraine take care of itself. Better yet, let’s see what the democrats and globalists are hiding over there.
I get it.
Christmas
Excellent point. Hard to believe all the people out there who have yet to realize how democrats lie about everything.
Two Years Later, President Trump’s Landmine Policy Remains
January 31, 2022
“Today marks the second anniversary of President Donald Trump’s anti-personnel landmine policy, which reversed decades of practice by allowing the U.S. military to produce and deploy anti-personnel landmines anywhere in the world.”

Whatever a democrat says believe the opposite.....9.8 times out of 10 you’ll be right.
Most of that is kickbacks, I’m sure. Biden is jamming as much into the corruption machine as he can.
The land mines should have been given and put in place beforehand. Are the Balkans taking notice?
It wouldn’t take too long to install them as troop movements give ample warning.
Yes. But Trump never condemned the use of anti-personnel mines then turned around and gave hundreds of millions of dollars of them to a foreign country to use in a war we aren’t involved in.
Balkans? My bad. It’s the Baltics.
OMG. Does it ever end?
Anti drone tech will prove useful say a program to mlnlturize proximity fuzes for light/small air defense/flak guns😃mount on pick up trucks,for high mobility.
