Biden Administration Considering Redirecting Military Equipment That Was Suppose To Be Sent To Afghanistan Now Be Sent To Ukraine

Quebec Tribune/Wall Street Journal: Biden Administration Considers Sending Ukraine Military Equipment Once Bound for Afghanistan 

WASHINGTON—The Biden administration is considering a plan to redirect helicopters and other military equipment once allocated for the now-defunct Afghan military to Ukraine to help quickly reinforce its defenses amid a buildup of Russian troops near its border, U.S. and Ukrainian officials said. 

The equipment is being sought by Ukraine, which discussed it with Pentagon officials, who generally support providing more arms to Ukraine. The National Security Council has yet to approve the arms delivery while the administration seeks a diplomatic solution to get Moscow to back off its military pressure campaign, the U.S. officials said. 

The military kit previously earmarked for the Afghan National Security Forces includes Russian-made Mi-17 helicopters, U.S. officials said. The helicopters would provide more mobility for Ukrainian forces, which have a large front to defend and lost aircraft in clashes in 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea and pro-Moscow separatists rebelled in Ukraine’s east.

When it collapses, nuke Moscow.

Walk the nukes in like you would artillery shells. In such a way the nukes cannot be intercepted.
