The Biden administration has just announced yet another new weapons package for Ukraine worth $600 million, which now brings to total US military aid pledged since the start of the conflict to $15.1 billion.
Crucially, in this case the arms are being sent under the presidential drawdown authority, which allows the White House to take arms directly from US military stockpiles for use by foreign allied forces. The administration confirmed it was the 21st time it drew from Pentagon stockpiles.
The Guardian details, “Joe Biden authorized the latest assistance using his Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows the president to authorize the transfer of excess weapons from US stocks.” The report stresses, “The White House said it was the 21st time that the US’s defense department has pulled weapons and other equipment off the shelves to deliver to Ukraine.”...
President Zelensky is now going straight to Congress and the US arms makers themselves, which is somewhat unprecedented:

Hmmm!! Pretty soon We The People will have better arms than the military because Brandon has given them all away!
Can we get some via home delivery? After all we paid for it. 😳😡
“As for the newly approved $600 million package, the package includes the following according to a Department of Defense list:
“Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS)
36,000 105mm artillery rounds
1,000 precision-guided 155mm artillery rounds
Four counter-artillery radars
Four trucks and eight trailers to transport heavy equipment
Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems
Mine clearing equipment
Claymore anti-personnel munitions
Demolition munitions and equipment
Small arms and ammunition
Night vision devices, cold weather gear, and other field equipment
Because when he goes to Joe, he smells weird, only tells corn-pop stories and falls asleep mid-sentence
Biden will be sending US troops over there soon. Sooner if they “win” the election.
Madness.
Not quite a billion. What is the total now?
When will Ukraine be satisfied?
Meanwhile our own military enlisted can’t afford to feed their families or live in off-base housing
It appears BIDEN is attempting to disarm AMERICA, making U.S. vulnerable to our enemies?
Grifters never are satisfied.
And the same government wants your guns and calls you a semi fascist.
AZ Jeep and UMCRevMom approve! I heard they are starting up a GoFundMe site for the Z man in case he runs out of U.S. taxpayer money. #America last #Slobber Ukraine
And what do we do when China invades Taiwan and we have no armament available?
This is just between you, me and the wall. They should have done this...'government wants your guns', before they did this...'calls you a semi fascist.' It seems their priorities are a bit off.
Biden is emptying our stores of advanced weapons much faster tan they can be produced. Concurrently he is destroying the morale and excreting the effective soldiers from the military with all the trans and covid and race crap that has become the main mission of our military. Xi is watching its two main rivals destroy their own war fighting capability. The bright side is he is watching a military organized on the same principles as China’s, get beaten up badly in Ukraine
Where are the Republicans?
