The Hill: US announces new Ukraine package as Pentagon chief visits Kyiv
The U.S. on Monday released a new $100 million aid package for Ukraine, announcing more artillery rounds and anti-aircraft munitions as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin made a surprise visit to Kyiv.
The package includes 155 millimeter artillery shells, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, small arms ammunition and Javelin and AT-4 launchers.
Austin said at a Monday press conference in Kyiv that the package will help Ukrainian troops in the coming months “have the means that they’ll need to be successful fighting in the wintertime.”

WNU Editor: This announcement is a joke. The war is costing Ukraine anywhere from $100 million to $200 million a day. So what US Secretary of Defense Austin is committing to is basically a promise to finance the war for about a day.

Quality slogans are not enough for a quality program. In the short term they actually work. In the long term they do not.
Before you can get to next week you have to get through tomorrow.
It remains to be seen if it is a stop gap to tide things over and keep spirits up or something else.
None of this would be needed if Putin did not start his unjust, elective war and actually learned how to govern.
The traitors in US congress and Secretary Austin will spend more money they do not have, financed by debt, to arm foreign nations. Meanwhile in the US, regular people are struggling financially. Veterans are homeless. The US is invaded by illegal immigrants who have their hands out for freebies. The borders are open for smuggling drugs to ruin the American populace. Fuck Congress. Fuck Secretary Austin.

MSM blobber bs.
None of this would be needed if Putin did not start his unjust, elective war and actually learned how to govern.
None of this would be needed if the United states had not influenced Ukraine to start a program of instigation to goad the russians into war by persecuting ethnic Russians, siding with nazi's and try to become part of nato.
Now they pay the price for arrogence.

About the only thing that vatnik WNU said was "that you could not use Russian in court and that is so unfair, man"
Do you go to war over that?
I said first you try to go through the UN first.
WNU blubbered something about culture too. Both the Russians and Ukrainians are Orthodox and had the same patriarch so how different can the culture be? But we know WNU is a liar.
The Mutually Intelligible Languages of 8 Popular World Languages
1. Russian
Russian is partially mutually intelligible with Ukrainian, Rusyn and Belarusian.
Russian has 85% intelligibility with Rusyn (which has a small number of speakers in Central and Eastern Europe). Russian is also 85% mutually intelligible with Belarusian and Ukrainian in writing. However, Russian is only 74% mutually intelligible with spoken Belarusian and 50% mutually intelligible with spoken Ukrainian.
Russian speakers are also likely to understand some Bulgarian, along with other Slavic languages to a lesser extent.
If WNU was taught English as a professional vocation beyond high school. I bet his understanding of Ukrainian is better than 74% written and 50% oral. But he put on a real show about his ability to speak Ukrainian with training wheels. That is not my experience with people I know that were trained at the collegiate level in foreign languages. They do not become linguists, but they start to pick up on that shit. So WNU's story does not ring true.

Goaded? No
Putin wanted a pretext for war.
