The Biden administration announced Saturday it is providing an additional $350 million in military assistance to Ukraine as it battles a Russian military offensive. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, “Today, as Ukraine fights with courage and pride against Russia’s brutal and unprovoked assault, I have authorized, pursuant to a delegation by the President, an unprecedented third Presidential Drawdown of up to $350 million for immediate support to Ukraine’s defense.”“This brings the total security assistance the United States has committed to Ukraine over the past year to more than $1 billion,” he said.He said the package will include further lethal defensive assistance

I guess we probably couldn't have used all the materials we left in Afghanistan to help these poor people. I guess Hunter couldn't get the 10% for 'the big guy' on used military equipment.

What is huncher’s cut? What contribution or quid pro quo does schmoe get for this aid? I bet the Ukrainians made up their mind without much negotiation- they only took a few hours when schmoe demanded a cessation of the prosecutor’s work.

Send them some of the billions in equipment we gave to the terrorists in Afghanistan. If the media is rooting for Ukraine, that means we should be rooting for Russia. The Russia, Russia, Russia that the media made a boogeyman to try to destroy Trump. Go Russia! Drain the Ukrainian swamp!

Has FJB stopped buying Russian energy? If no, then FJB isn't serious about supporting The Ukraine. Unfortunately, the lid is on FJB until further notice. Hiding in a Delaware basement no doubt.

Of course Putin will end up with the gear and use it against his opposition.

that works out to 2000 Javelin missiles. Assuming that any military equipment can be deployed without being destroyed enroute. Or before Ukraine falls.

Hmmm, in today's world $350 million for military hardware is piddling.

Joe Bidet: "Hey Zel, here's a week's supply of 5.56mm ammo... my son Beau once shot an M-16."
President Zelensky: Uh, sir, our Ukraine forces use 7.63mm AK-47's.
Joe Bidet: Oh, uh, yeah. Hey Blinky, wanna do some pushups?

How about we pay our new friends, the Taliban, and airlift them to Kiev for another crack at the Russians?

Given the overwhelming superiority of manpower and weapons the Russians have, this war will be over in a couple of weeks or less.
With the way the sewer of DC works, that military assistance will reach Ukraine by August -- in time for the new Russia-backed government to use it to help Russia invade their next victim in Putin's conquest to re-establish the Soviet Union.
Lyin' Joe bidet is the stupidest and most senile president this country has ever had!!!!
FJB!!!

How about we stop buying Russian oil and restart the Keystone Pipeline and fracking?

How are they going to get all that military assistance into Ukraine and train the Ukrainians how to use that advanced military equipment as before long the Russians are going to have air superiority over Ukraine and control all the airports and air bases?

Wow! .05% of the military equipment abandoned in Afghanistan to our enemies. With bought-and-paid-for pols like these, who needs enemies?

Psst, BiteMe, you'd get better use of that equipment if you just air dropped it into downtown Chicago.
What kind of stupid do you have to be to tell Putin your plans about landing a trove of weapons at an occupied airport?
I hope the fool chokes on his tapioca.
