White House announces nearly $1 billion more in military assistance to Ukraine
CBS News ^ | Dec 7, 2024

Posted on 12/07/2024 2:54:02 PM PST by McGruff

The U.S. on Saturday announced a new $988 million military assistance package for Ukraine in its war with Russia as Washington races to provide aid to Kyiv before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Trump's victory in the November election has cast doubt on the future of U.S. aid for Ukraine, providing a limited window for billions of dollars in already authorized assistance to be provided before he is sworn in next month.

The package features drones, ammunition for precision HIMARS rocket launchers, and equipment and spare parts for artillery systems, tanks and armored vehicles, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The aid will be funded via the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, under which military equipment is procured from the defense industry or partners rather than drawn from American stocks, meaning it will not immediately arrive on the battlefield.

Note to Zelvis, the grifter who canceled elections in his “free” nation: just keep that stuff in the warehouse or on the tarmac. You’re gonna give it back in about 4 weeks.

Sure would be cool if we had a Congress or something for this undeclared war.......

AMERICANS LAST

AMERICA LAST


Democrat Joe Biden and Democrat Kamala Harris DO NOT
care about America, Americans nor America's Borders.

We are almost completely out of stuff to give to Ukraine.

Very little is going to be sent to Ukraine before Trump is in office and Trump can remove authorization to use these weapons any time he chooses. /p>

Oh wait - the Democrats.......

If only Democrats cared as much about America and Americans...

...but they don't. And the Democrats have repeatedly demonstrated this.

Right up until his last minute in office, they’ll loot and steal every dollar they can from America. Anything to weaken the U.S.

C’mon Trump!

"The U.S. on Saturday announced a new $988 million
military assistance package for Ukraine..."

All the while Zelensky was doing his begging act with
Trump and Macron in Paris trying to get even more from them.
It's embarrassing the way Zelensky keeps intruding on
all of these international meetings that have nothing
to do with Ukraine and hitting up the Western nations for aid.

He can’t make it happen without our lovely and loyal communist establishment GOP. They are all on board with the one world communist government Trump is fighting.
