Biden promises Ukraine ‘advanced air defense systems’ after Russian missile strikes
CNN.com ^ | October 10, 2022 | Maegan Vazquez and Sam Fossum

President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday after a deluge of Russian missiles targeted cities across Ukraine, condemning the strikes and pledging continued US security assistance “including advanced air defense systems.”

During the call, a White House statement said, Biden “expressed his condemnation of Russia’s missile strikes across Ukraine, including in Kyiv, and conveyed his condolences to the loved ones of those killed and injured in these senseless attacks. President Biden pledged to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems.”

The White House did not specify which air defense systems Biden discussed with Zelensky, but the United States previously committed to providing Ukraine with National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems. NASAMS would be capable of engaging Russian cruise missiles.

"WTF are giving Ukraine all of our most sophisticated weapons when we are facing a serious threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan"

It's all part of the definition of a democrat administration.

Useless against hypersonic missiles which have no way of being shot down.

Residents fleeing from rockets during morning rush hour. An impact crater next to a playground in central #Kyiv. It is despicable & unjustifiable that Putin is firing missiles at major cities & civilians in #Ukraine. We are doing everything to strengthen 🇺🇦 air defenses.

There’s no limit to the Spending.

Like the CNN Host says, we can afford it all.

The Congress agrees with him. Massive Debt and a failing Economy will only open up new emergencies for them to contain freedoms and start a new Economic system.

Just wait. They’re going to say the situation they created necessitates cutting freedoms and things Americans have taken for granted for a century.

“There’s no ‘chain of custody’“

Honestly, we are being sold out as a country.

And how much will that cost? And after the war is over he’ll be sending them how much to rebuild?
Bring back the guy who put this country first.

I don’t GAS who is “winning”, this “war” is a friggin’ farce. Biden needs his ass kicked for getting involved in this fiasco.

Hopefully they can hit them with missiles as the cross the border from Poland... or failing that, hit the training sites before they deploy.

Wanna bet!! On average they can carry from an 1,100 lb HE warhead to a 500KT thermonuclear payload. Stop quoting from the media because they are full of it.
