U.S. President Biden Will Announce $800 Million In Security Assistance For Ukraine

 

CNN: Biden will announce $800 million in security assistance for Ukraine, official says 

Washington (CNN)President Joe Biden is expected to announce an additional $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine on Wednesday, a White House official told CNN, bringing the total to $1 billion announced in just the last week. 

The package of military assistance will include anti-tank missiles and more of the defensive weapons that the US has already been providing, including Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, officials familiar with the plans said. 

The assistance, however, will stop short of the no-fly zone or fighter jets that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said are necessary to sustain Ukraine's fight against Russia.

"Biden considers giving devastating Switchblade tank-killing 'kamikaze' drones to Ukrainians as part of new $1BN arms package he will unveil today as Zelensky prepares to plead with Congress at 9am TODAY for more weapons to defend his country"

And that is the problem he is considering and considering and considering. It does not take that long to deliberate, run models, wargames or whatever you want to do.

He just signed the order for it

1:21 had a point? He is over 4 weeks too late.

It should have been sent at least week before the invasion to that they could be deployed. Washington insider Paul Pillar called it a called shot. If it was called, should not the wonder weapons been sent ahead of the invasion?

The Shot That Was Called: Intelligence and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Wonder weapons are a good word for the switch blade in that they are too little, too late. So Biden has that in common with Hitler. Oh and both have or had degenerative brain diseases. Hitler othered the Jews and Joe others conservatives. Birds of a feather

Let's dig into your shit some more. So Biden is going to send those drones. It will take one or two days to get there. Are they going to be blown up as soon as they cross the border like what happened a few days back?

Reagan and G.W. Bush defeated Russia either in Afghanistan and Georgia with unofficial means. What Biden is doing openly is DANGEROUS!!!! This self centered guy only want to show he is doing something and have the "glory" even that at the risk of his own people. This will not finish well.

GWB defeated Russia in Georgia? Please tell me how? South Ossetia and Abkhazia are not part of Georgia 14 years later.

Looks like Lapides at 3:09(?), 3:26, 3:27 & 3:32.

Biden start giving aid a day late and a dollar short and Lapides thinks that is great foresight.

Such a mind where "logic and proportion" & "Have fallen sloppy dead"

Bogus guy gave a bogus Trump quote.

Russian entry into NATO and plebiscites are a lot cheaper than a Ukraine war. It would also have boxed China in and made their aggression impossible. That is the road not taken.

Loser Joey forgot to send assault rifles?

Do helicopters matter, when you do not have air superiority?

Assuming the helicopters makes sorties, score hits and make it back to base. Is a cruise missile in their future?

Ukraine needs serious anti-air.


Now that William Hurt has died, his estate can donate his meds to Putin.

100%

Waste of money. Might get one sortie out of them MAYBE. Money would have been better spent on small arms as you said.

Maybe the helicopter would be useful around Odessa or Kherson.

Make the Russian waster those cruise missiles.

IF the Russians use up enough cruise missile on that, they won't have any leftover to hit orphanages.

Some anti-ship surface to surface missiles would be nice. Watch those garbage scows retreat to the Sea of Azov
