CNN: US considering sending extra weaponry to Ukraine as fears mount over potential Russian invasion
(CNN)The Biden administration is weighing sending military advisers and new equipment including weaponry to Ukraine as Russia builds up forces near the border and US officials prepare allies for the possibility of another Russian invasion, multiple sources familiar with the deliberations tell CNN.
The discussions about the proposed lethal aid package are happening as Ukraine has begun to warn publicly that an invasion could happen as soon as January. The package could include new Javelin anti-tank and anti-armor missiles as well as mortars, the sources said.
Air defense systems, such as stinger missiles, are also under consideration, and the Defense Department has been pressing for some equipment that would have gone to Afghanistan -- like Mi-17 helicopters -- to instead be sent to Ukraine. The Mi-17 is a Russian helicopter that the US originally purchased to give to the Afghans. The Pentagon is now weighing what to do with them after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August.

I'm calling bad move. I said it first.🤫🤔
When Russia ceases and desists form poisoning Ukrainian presidents, then it will be a bad move.
Until then it is a very good move.
Bad move. Ukraine is not a national interest of the USA.

Buchanan is sitting on some out of the way, non-descript mountain peak with his bullhorn. Buchanan is like a 60 year old run way model. He is well beyond his sell by date. He was prominent in the 1980s and somewhat in the 1990s. He has not been a prominent voice in what 10 or 20 years?
Maybe you and Buchanan want to create the tri polar world of 1984, which would place Ukraine in Russia's orbit. The 1984 word is not based on human rights by power and oligarchies.
Buchanan is or was indefatigable propounding small or right-sized government and isolationism. He has not grow in 40 years. Nothing more is to be learned from Buchanan.
6:51 you are a dude with a string and a pin, who places the pin on the capital and measure off the sphere of influence with a length of string, because ... reasons.
Go to the adult store and buy yourself a new toy and leave the rest of us alone.
9:35 PM advise you knock off the amphetamines, dude. You use a lot of words but you make not too much sense.
9:46 Buchanan is not a small government guy or an isolationist? Pray tell.
What is the ranking and audience size of Buchanan compare to 30 or 40 years ago?
To assert without basis that a free Ukraine is not a national interest is to argue spheres of influence. Arguing sphere of influence is or is similar to argue might makes right.
