    WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States will send nearly $2.5 billion more in weapons to Ukraine as his administration works quickly to spend all the money it has available to help Kyiv fight off Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

    The package includes $1.25 billion in presidential drawdown authority, which allows the military to pull existing stock from its shelves and gets weapons to the battlefield faster. It also has $1.22 billion in longer-term weapons packages to be put on contract through the separate Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, or USAI.

    Biden said all longer-term USAI funds have now been spent and pledged to use all the remaining drawdown money before leaving office.

    “I’ve directed my administration to continue surging as much assistance to Ukraine as quickly as possible,” Biden said in a statement. “At my direction, the United States will continue to work relentlessly to strengthen Ukraine’s position in this war over the remainder of my time in office.”


    Destroying America one billion at a time.. we already know he is out of his mind or is he acting like a mobster to avoid prosecution?

    You’d rather hand it over to Putin? How about the guy taking office who stated that he trusts Putin more than the US Intel agencies.

    That's just the public part. Throughout gov't they are working around the clock to prepay and renew gov't contracts with DEI companies and push billions more out to favored entities and friends all over. While this happens to some extent with all departing administrations, the number of laws and regulations allegedly being violated here are unprecedented.

  9. Hello Frederick Foresight,

    I am not sure what you mean.

    I just want to know why Biden is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to help fight a war against Russia?
     
  10. For reasons of decency and self-interest.
