quote:

Joe Biden's administration has told Ukraine that the U.S. 'deserves a degree of gratitude' for its billions of dollars in military support to the war-torn nation.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan issued a thinly-veiled warning to Kyiv one day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went on a social media tirade over what he called an 'absurd' delay in offering his country a pathway to full NATO membership.


quote:

Sullivan angrily dismissed claims from Ukrainian anti-corruption activist Daria Kaleniuk that the president 'was afraid of Russia' by not setting out a timeline for Ukraine to join the Brussels-based military alliance.


quote:

Speaking at a side event at the two-day NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, top Biden aide Sullivan dismissed her critcism, saying 'there has been a lot of conspiracy theorizing that simply is not based on any reality whatsoever.'

'The United States of America has stepped up to provide an enormous amount of capacity to help ensure that Ukraine's brave soldiers have the ammunition, air defense, the infantry, fighting vehicles, the mine clearing equipment and so much else to be able to effectively defend against Russia's onslaught and to take territory back as well.

'I think the American people do deserve a degree of gratitude from the United States government for their willingness to step up and from the rest of the world as well.'

In a thinly-veiled swipe at Zelensky's criticism of his Western allies, Sullivan said some of the charges leveled against the U.S. were 'entirely unfounded and unjustified.'

A coup would be the best thing to happen to Ukraine right about now.

Nevermind that the US sealed Ukraine's fate by trying to ram them into NATO membership.

A lot of Ukrainians would still be alive were it not for the US trying to poke Russia in the eye.

If Zelensky was any type of leader or decent person he would recognize the obvious reason why Ukraine can't join NATO, especially right now! Ukraine simply isn't worth WW III.

The US needs an accounting for the monies and arms already sent to Ukraine. That won't happen because it'll reflect poorly on our government.

$113B

Could have hardened the US power grid and starting working on failing bridges and other infrastructure projects.

We were dumb enough to give them that money with no strings attached. It’s not Ukraine’s fault. It’s ours.

Only if they are able to freeze and reallocate all the money he stole during the foreign aid bonanza we've sent his way.

Finally I’m agree with the administration on something

Zelensky is just treating this as a never ending ATM.

His punk arse needs some humility and we need to stop the cash flow

Total fiction. Ukraine's position vis-a-vis NATO has remained completely unchanged since 2008 when they applied to the Membership Action Plan program.
