The U.S. will provide $1.2 billion more in long-term military aid to Ukraine to further bolster its air defenses as Russia continues to pound Ukraine with drones, rockets and surface-to-air missiles, U.S. officials said Monday.

The aid package is expected to be announced on Tuesday and the money will be provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. Unlike the U.S. equipment, weapons and ammunition that are more frequently sent to Ukraine from Pentagon stocks — so they can be delivered quickly — this money is to be spent over the coming months or even years to ensure Ukraine's future security needs.

A billion here, a billion there … all WASTED on a corrupt country where the U.S. has zero national interests. For all the Biden loving, industrial military complex sycophants, virtue signaling warmongers the challenge still holds: name one national interest in Ukraine that affects any hardworking American. How does it directly affect you?

No, but thanks so very much anyway.

We need to focus our military priorities and funding on OUR (United States) Military.

As I read the news, the world is not getting safer.

More is better because the bigger the give-away the bigger the Big Guy’s 10% will be.

Why? We’re already paying pensions. Meanwhile in California will anyone guarantee state pensions after Newsom’s debacles?

Biden hasn’t paid what he promised. It’ll be another 100 billion I figure.

Absolutely agree.

I am in touch with some Ukrainians who are sick of the constant escalation for no gain. They want a peace settlement.

Many do blame Biden and NATO for this.

It is humiliating for the US and NATO to have poured nearly triple Russia's defense budget into Ukraine for no gain.

The US is a week away from being invaded by 100,000 trespassers on top of the 5+ million that invaded over the past 2 years.

Think it’s odd that Finland has entered NATO?

What does Finland have to fear, anyway?
