The U.S. is again dipping into its own military supply to ship another round of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine to use in its four-month-old battle against invading Russian forces. On Friday, President Biden authorized shipping up to $400 million in additional military equipment to help Kyiv as it contends with new Russian advances in the fiercely contested Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
Included in the latest transfer are four M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and 1,000 rounds of precision-guided 155 mm artillery rounds that a senior defense official said would allow Ukrainian units to hit specific targets without being forced to expend a large

The US leftists like Biden, Romney, Pelosi, DOD and CIA need to cover up their evil biolab mess. I believe that is the only reason we are sending billions of money and hardware to fight Russia. Hopefully Ukraine loses and the truth comes out about all the illegal activities of those on this side of the pond were engaged in, and hopefully they pay the price.

Ludansk and Donbass are purging the Ukraine Military and Mercs from their lands now. Ukraine has dug in and the trench lines are being pounded 24/7 and the body count mounts daily! Russia has them out manned and totally out gunned. Over those two regions, they have air superiority! And then we find out that pre war Burisma proclaimed itself to be a major arms exporter of Russian designed military equipment! Putin is in no rush!

The proxy war continues. Of course, it's likely that a U.S. "TransgenGeneral would have his troops high tail it in retreat to the nearest vacant bathhouse anyway.

Where's the accounting?
Not enough Repubs demanding the details of where all our materiel is coming from, are we replenishing OUR military supplies. Where is all the money going? Anyone checked Hunter's pockets lately (if you dare)?

That $400 million is taxpayers money. While I am VERY opposed to Putins war, shouldnt the American people be consulted before promising our money to Ukraine ? our politicians are going to steal part of that money

Hello republicans, are you still in Congress? Anyone there? Not one more penny to Ukraine. Not one more cent. Does anyone not believe that Biden, Clinton, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer are not getting kickbacks from the Ukrainians for all this aid? Bet some republicans too like the M&M Twins McConnell and McCarthy. Traitors all...and Murderers.

There are three main troublemakers in the world today. The pillars of authoritarianism. China, Russia, and Iran. Putin, in his stupidity, has presented the free world with an opportunity to neutralize one of those pillars. To expose it as a hollow, declining, corrupt power. And to do it without a single drop of American blood. We just sit back and do our "arsenal of democracy" thing.
For stakes that are so obviously more in our national interest than whoever runs Iraq or Libya or Syria. The combination of arms and sanctions can send Russia back to within its borders, a broken, shattered husk. And put an end to their dream of resurrecting Cold War geopolitical balance of power nonsense. And within two generations their declining fertility rates and young people moving away will finish the job. And Europe and Central Asia, at long last, can breath a sigh of relief.

The Pentagon lost my support when they refused to protect the Texas border.

Wasted lives, property and treasure (mostly US treasure) for a conflict Ukraine cannot and will not win. Putin hasn't deployed his A Team and hasn't used his "shock and awe". Both sides and Western media are liars.
I have been monitoring military flights in the region and most are US and UK. Where are our "European allies" who we are defending from the evil Bear?
If WW3 is a possibility and use of nukes such a threat, why aren't there intense negotiations happening with hourly status reports? Because this conflict is intentional and protracted either in order to hide something or distract from something else.

Ukraine has been the money-laundering center for many US elite. I'd imagine that much of this 'defense' money is instead going to individuals.
