WASHINGTON – The US will dispatch another $775 million in weapons and military equipment — including rockets, drones and missile systems — to Ukraine, a senior defense official said Friday, days before the six-month anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
The package, which is expected to be officially announced later Friday, will for the first time include 40 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs), 16 105mm howitzers, 15 reconnaissance drones, an undisclosed number of anti-tank missile systems and 2,000 rounds of anti-armor ammunition for Carl Gustaf rifles.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after President Biden approved a $1 billion military aid package to Ukraine – the largest yet. That aid included ammunition to support National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, or NASAMS, howitzers and HIMARS, according to the Pentagon.
The upcoming aid package will bring the total cost of US military aid for the Kyiv government to about $10.5 billion since the invasion began Feb. 24.
The US foreign aid package includes 1,000 Javelin anti-armor systems.
Just think these guns could have been turned in, in Baton Rouge tomorrow for $300 gas cards each.
Wasn't there a report that no one was tracking where the military supplies were going?

I have tried my best to stay out of it, but slip up every once in a while when I'm drunk.
CBS retracted the report or something that only 30% of the weapons are accounted for -- that is the state of reporting these days. Anything that goes against the regime must be censored.

How else do you think Ukrainian government workers will get paid? They are dependent on the U.S. tax payer.

I don't understand (I do really) why every single Republican isn't screaming from the rooftops over this shite.

These frickwads have sent enough money over there we could have just bought the fricking country by now.

Biden and company further contributing to their own generational wealth. I hope and pray somehow, someway, these crooks pay for this crime against your and my money.
I do believe what goes around comes around, just hope we get to see it.

Putin is clearly getting some of that laundry, too. Otherwise, he would go ahead and take Ukraine.

$10 Billion
A new bridge at Baton Rouge cost $2 Billion. All that Ukraine money the USA has to borrow to send could be put to better use at home.

Because their handlers are telling them that the NYT will say 'Putin influenced GOP Congressman votes against saving Ukraine.'

shite you could put an ex-special ops guy or infantryman as a paid marksman at every school in the US for what we’ve given Ukraine.
