On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced its latest round of military aid for Ukraine, totaling $2.6 billion.

According to a White House press release, $2 billion of the funding would be for different types of munitions, weapons, and radar. The additional military aid also comes just ahead of an expected and much-anticipated spring offensive against Russian troops.

In a statement released by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the package will include “U.S.-provided HIMARS, air defense interceptors, and artillery rounds that Ukraine is using to defend itself.”

In an effort to get the military aid to the frontlines in Ukraine timely, the equipment and weapons being sent will be pulled from existing military stockpiles.

“In addition, we are announcing a significant package of air defense capabilities, as well as artillery and tank ammunition, mortar systems, rockets, and anti-armor systems using $2.1 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) funds,” the statement added.

“The Presidential Drawdown is the thirty-fifth such drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine that the Biden Administration has authorized since August 2021,” the statement concluded.

America will suffer the low-IQ, low-info crowd of popular, non-populist un-Americans right to hell before that dumb bunch actually get “woke” and realize how stupid, childish and obviously destructive the woke crap to which they subscribed actually was and is. The GOP is a useless joke which does not push back or shout the truth to the masses, so absent an immediate, organized, violent revolution, which will not happen until too late to prevail, after normal daily life is finally too disrupted and our guns and other rights have largely been taken, nothing is going to stop the globalist elites’ insane train. The pendulum swings, eventually to stupid extremes.

The demoncrats are laundering the money as fast as they can while it still has value. The Ukraine war will end when the dollar is devalued on the world market.
