The United States is expected to announce that it will send $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20.

The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds, officials said.

...

Earlier this month, senior defense officials acknowledged that that the Defense Department may not be able to send all of the remaining $5.6 billion in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

No money for American taxpayers

But money to escalate World War III

This is America under Democrats

Americans Last

America Last

Debt is Biden’s last tool he has to trouble America and he’s going to make as much possible as he can before Trump takes over.

This is how you know this money is being laundered into someone’s pockets. They are rushing the money thru based on timing of inauguration, not based on military need.

The Biden Administration is spending all the money that they can before Trump takes office. Apparently, it does not matter as to where the money goes.

Biden is on vacation, and going to foreign countries
Camila is on vacation and can't be found, although no one is looking !
I want to know who in the administration is making these fateful decisions

Very difficult to launder military equipment.

Why hasn’t the Biden administration initiated any kind of brokered peace deal or even just a cease-fire to start peace talks?

The left and neocons just want to prolong and escalate this war as much as possible.

I think they’d love to start a nuclear war if they could, or at least WW3 in some form.

It’s like Heath Ledger Joker who just wanted to watch the world burn. Insanity.

November 17, 2024:

The Pentagon failed its seventh consecutive audit on Friday as the agency was unable to fully account for its massive $824 billion budget, though officials were confident the Department of Defense "has turned a corner" in understanding its budgetary challenges going forward.

Biden leaves Americans devastated by a natural disaster sleeping in tents in the cold and wet because, according to his Regime, we don't have the money to help them...

BUT, he can keep dishing BILLIONS to his corrupt butt buddy, Zelensy.

The Big Guy will get his 10% no matter what.
