Biden announced another $800 million in military assistance on Wednesday following a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Since Moscow’s Feb. 24 invasion, the Biden administration has deployed more than 100,000 U.S. troops to NATO-member countries and authorized $1.7 billion in security assistance.

I think this was done a couple days ago and it is in the lending program, or something like that.

Might as well just title this thread: "Biden authorizes additional $80 million in deposits to his own bank account".

President Biden announced Wednesday that his administration would authorize $800 million in additional security assistance to Ukraine, including artillery, helicopters and armored personnel carriers.

The Pentagon said more specifically that the aid package includes 11 Mi-17 helicopters, 300 Switchblade drones, 200 M113 armored personnel carriers, 18 Howitzers and 40,000 artillery rounds, 10 counter-artillery radars, 500 Javelin missiles, unmanned coastal defense vessels and protective equipment in the event of a chemical or biological weapons attack.

Biden also said that the U.S. would help transfer “significant capabilities” from other allies to Ukraine, without providing specific details on those capabilities.

The U.S. has committed $1.7 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began nearly seven weeks ago.

Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters that the 11 Soviet-era Mi-17 helicopters included in the package were initially earmarked for Afghanistan.

Kirby also said the U.S. was exploring ways to train Ukrainian forces on some of the systems being provided.

“We believe that we can put together appropriate training for some of these systems very, very quickly,” Kirby said, noting that the systems are not very complex.

“We want to inundate Ukraine with military assistance so that we can bring this to a rapid military conclusion,” she said.

Woohoo more kickbacks and some left over for the Nazi's. Damn good thing we (USA) aren't over our heads in debt and can afford it.

Oh wait, we are and can't.

Well at least when we transition to a new form of currency they won't continue uncontrolled spending practices.

Why not just hand out reparations and UBI for everyone in America at this point. Clearly our gov't doesn't give two shits about fiscal responsibility. Imagine how bad arse of a southern border wall we could build with 800 million...but I guess Ukraine is more important than our own border or infrastructure, or energy sector, or supply chain, or economy...

Trannyboy is a circus monkey and approves of everything the dems tell him to. We'd be better off if we included sending xim to the front lines of ukraine as cannon fodder as one of these deals.

Wonder if he will send (unfreeze) another 90 Billion to Iran?

Did he sell the front door key to the white house or pay people to give them the key?
