US sending $350M in weapons, equipment to Ukraine in latest aid package

The United States will send Ukraine another $350 million in military assistance including more missiles and air defense ammunition, the Biden administration announced Monday.

The lethal aid package includes more ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and howitzers, as well as ammunition for Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, High-speed Anti-radiation missiles, anti-tank weapons and riverine boats, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. A separate Defense Department release said the package also included grenade launchers, heavy fuel tankers, mine clearing equipment, mortar systems and rounds and additional artillery.

“This week, as Russia’s unconscionable war of aggression against Ukraine continues at great human cost, we are again reminded of the boundless courage and steadfast resolve of the Ukrainian people, and the strong support for Ukraine across the international community,” Blinken said.

He also reiterated that the United States will stand with Ukraine “for as long as it takes.”

If we are not crash-building massive amounts of more ordnance right now like it was the race to the Moon then we are fools.

For that money, we could have put a minefield between us and Mexico.

Right.. we cannot hemorrhage money like this, indefinitely.

Too bad we don't have a ‘media’ to keep politicians honest (ALL politicians!!!)

I don’t think it’s going to be long before our military is full of jugheads who have no clue how to use those weapons or even what they are used for.

Here’s a good piece on America running out of weapons by Peron. I really like this guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CmXz8Qd9yw&t=419s

America is not a land power. We are a naval and air power. We have given up all of our Stingers because they are not used in our present doctrine. As for ammo, when people quote numbers they use only American production. That’s because all of that information is publicly available. But America’s production pales in comparison to South Korea and a number of other players. As explained in the video at the link neither Nato or the US is in any danger of running out of ammo.

*************************************************

They NEVER define “as long as it takes”. They NEED PERPETUAL WARFARE to keep the PERPETUAL GRIFT and PERPETUAL PLUNDERING OF THE ANERICAN CITIZENS going.

AMERICANS MUST BE IMPOVERISHED is their mantra and true belief. Of course THEY THEMSELVES must be enriched in the process.

What legislation authorized this and what were the House and Senate floor votes on record? Every “representative” who voted for this (if indeed it was authorized) need to be voted OUT of office.

Nothing more than laundering money with kickbacks to Hunter all the way up to our politicians, this is not complicated.

Pedo Joe has to protect the payments (kickbacks) to Hunter and "The Big Guy" from the ukrainians with equipment paid for with OUR tax dollars while risking OUR military and security.
