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.”

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

If that was all it is then the Russian military would not be drained and exhausted and at a standstill, 13 months into a 10-day invasion.

Too bad Biden couldn’t give all the stuff he left in Afghanistan to Ukraine instead of the Taliban.

That fiasco, plus killing the pipeline and energy in general, and the open border. Three colossal high crimes totally justifying impeachment. What more do these spineless bastard republicans need?

“”And when we run out of ammo, then what?.......................””

Just the opposite is happening, we are cleaning out the old gear and replacing it with new and better, with renewed weapons manufacturing in the NATO countries, the U.S. and South Korea, Japan, and Australia.

Neocons have ruined our economy.

They are well on their way to ruining the entire Western world.
