quote:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kyiv needs Patriot missiles to create an air shield against further Russian missile attacks, and it’s likely he’ll get them in an additional $6 billion aid package expected to be announced by the U.S. as soon as Friday.


quote:

Zelenskyy said at least seven Patriot systems are needed to protect Ukrainian cities. “We urgently need Patriot systems and missiles for them,” Zelenskyy said. “This is what can and should save lives right now.”

U.S. officials said the aid package will be funded through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays for longer-term contracts with the defense industry and means that it could take many months or years for the weapons to arrive. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet made public.

I believe in my heart, that if Z asked the US for nukes, they'd happily let him have it in some capacity.

It is amazing to me how easily our politicians aid other countries, but we can’t seem to get the same level of effort to help our own vets.

Sure.

frick Zelenskyy I hope he suffers a brutal death for dragging this conflict out and getting people killed for nothing.

At this point we could have just paid for the land that Russia wants and give it to the Palestinians and let them fight it out.

We would have saved a few hundred billion.

This has turned into our Eastern European client who’s a junkie and always looking for that next hit.

Of course our DC “public servants” are only too happy to enable him.

Since there’s really no downside to it, we should give Ukraine everything they ask for.
