Is Biden dumb enough to think that making Ukraine weaker and with less support is going to deter invasion?

quote:

“The Biden administration prepared a $200 million package of additional military assistance for Ukraine in recent weeks but held off on delivering the aid despite appeals from Kyiv and some lawmakers,” NBC News reported. “The administration’s delay of the smaller shipment of weapons and military equipment was designed to give more time for diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions and to retain leverage in the case of a Russian attack on Ukraine.”

We shouldn't be giving Ukraine anything. And how much of that "aid" is funneled into the hands of Hunter Biden and other family members of politicians who then kick up their share to the big guy or big girl? It's worse than the Mafia.

It’s a concession he made to Putin. Biden holds up some military aid, Putin assures him that Russia won’t invade Ukraine.

Well, son of a bitch!

While agreeing with Obama is rare to the extreme, he said, "Never underestimate Biden's ability to frick things up."

I agree.

I don’t think funneling tons of weapons into a civil conflict zone like the Donbass helps to cool down anything. In fact, it turns up the heat.

How long before we’re told by our superiors that Russia invading Ukraine is actually a good thing?

Is this not the basis for impeachment against Trump?

It’s obvious the money comes right back to cronies in the US, so he doesn’t want to risk Putin getting it instead.

Somebody over in Kiev didn’t get the memo: Big Guy gets 10%. The check for $20 mill hasn’t arrived yet.

Someone explain to me why I should demand my tax payer dollars and eventually American lives should be sent and lost to the Ukraine.

Why?

I thought we impeached Trump over this (even though no aid was withheld)
