Biden Adminstration Tells Ukraine It Won’t Send Long-Range Missiles

Politico: U.S. tells Ukraine it won’t send long-range missiles because it has few to spare  

The Biden administration wants to ensure it has enough ATACMS for the U.S. military. 

The Biden administration has given its Ukrainian counterparts another reason for not sending them much-wanted long-range missiles: The U.S. is concerned it wouldn’t have enough for itself. 

In recent meetings at the Pentagon, U.S. officials told Kyiv’s representatives that it doesn’t have any Army Tactical Missile Systems to spare, according to four people with knowledge of the talks. Transferring ATACMS to the battlefield in eastern Europe would dwindle America’s stockpiles and harm the U.S. military’s readiness for a future fight, the people said.

WNU Editor: The Biden administration has a history of saying no to shipping weapons to Ukraine, and then reversing their decision later. I expect the same will happen with these long-range missiles.

I think it'S for certain that Biden will give Ukraine the long range missiles. The choreographed indecision is all kabuki theater.

It's a win-win for progressive-Marxists in our State Dept/Govt. We're gutting our own stockpiles while bleeding Russia. We can't take any aggressive action anywhere, and neither can Russia. And meanwhile the Maoists just grin and say,


PLAY,
THRU,

If the Biden administration was serious, we would have a war time budget to ramp up production. We would have wartime security so the southern border would be solved. the result of a closed to illegal immigration border would be the labor market would favor job seekers. wags would go up. rent would be cheaper. Any labor shortfalls could be solved in time with robots.

That illegal immigration is not solved tells me that the Democrats and RINOs do not give a damn about the working class.

McCarthy just told off the Chamber of Commerce. There are farm worker labor shortages. Let them be solved the early Israeli way. use high school students. They get money and I bet their grades go up, when they are in school. It would be like they were plebs in a military academy. It would make them somewhat as tough as those that survived the Cultural Devolution.

I think Russ might be right.

Taiwan lobby vs Ukraine lobby. These missiles are supposed to be a pillar of the pacific strategy against China. They’ll probably still hand em over eventually though.

False balance, also bothsidesism

No one person or group is perfect. This does not translate into they are both equally bad. 8:23 is trying to paint with a broad brush. Who would that help? For one it would help the Russians by discrediting the whole American political system.

Spell check would not catch the misspelling of weak as week. A person would not catch it as they type. It is glaring, if you reread what you have typed, but most people do not. what it looks like is a troll trying to pretend to be an average Joe by having misspelling and grammatical errors.

Trump and Biden are equally bad? Some wishy washy moderate might say that. You could not get over 30% to allege that Biden and Trump were equally bad. If you go time by item such as the border crisis or energy independence Trump is going to look better and rightfully so.

What to say about the rest of the post? Is it stream of consciousness by someone having a bad day? Is it someone, who is fragmenting? Is it a troll using stream of consciousness as a technique?

Who wants to take over Canada? The author of the post never says. Bigfoot?

You say a lot and say nothing.

The Biden Trump question you are missing the point. Yes they both suck...but in different ways.. You missed that idea.
The idea is America is captured by a corrupt two party system who feeds the populace only pre approved candidates for office. So no matter who wins , the BLOB still drives the machine

Saying a person is a troll because they cannot spell or the stupid computer puts in different words is illogical. Saying a person is a troll because they do not agree with you is also illogical.
This thinking is like being an ideological zombie.

On a different subject...

Btw how is that unvarnished truth working for you?

You still not have answered the questions. Only a piss poor ad hominem attack in reponse

The border policies of Trump and Biden are vastly different and produce vastly different results. That is a hard fact.


You can spin all you want troll.

Proved my point both 1042 and 1102

A, Biden and Trump are bad in different ways. The border is one of Biden's

B. Call me a troll as a defense. A sign of a weak argument

C. 11:02..Still can't answer the questions can you? Because for the ideologue, the kabuki theater must be maintained , or the whole ideological world falls apart.
