Adding to potential controversy surrounding the Trump Administration’s handling of Ukrainian military aid, Pentagon officials say they intend to seek another $250 million in 2020 for lethal military aid to the Ukraine.
Undersecretary of Defense John Rood said that the aid was pending Congressional authorization. The House military spending bill has $250 million set aside for this, and the Senate version seeks to make that $300 million. Congress is emphasizing it as “mainly to push back on Russian aggression.”
Rood wasn’t clear what the lethal aid would involve, saying it would be for “the variety of things envisioned for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.” Other officials suggested it would include anti-armor weapons.
Lethal weapons are broadly sent to Ukraine with the vision of using them against ethnic Russian separatists in the far east. With other nations trying to help Ukraine negotiate a deal to end that situation peacefully, the US keeps pouring weapons into the Ukraine, envisioning a proxy war with Russia that they can keep fueling.
Well yes he must want some more dirt on somebody, or he is trying to act innocent.
Trump signs Ukraine’s death-warrant. God help Kiev when easy-going Putin is replaced by a hard man.
Impeach, impeach … quid pro quo… Oh never mind.
When the Russians push back against this continuing US aggression, no amount of American weapons will be enough to save Ukraine.
You’re absolutely right. When the Russians push back, no amount of American weapons will be enough to save Ukraine. Anyway, the vast majority of these weapons are far inferior to Russian weapons.
If Russia had been more assertive from the get go instead of letting the people in the DPR and LPR twist in the wind, none of this would be happening. Bullies need to be punched in the face from time to time.
Yet the Hillary-cheerers still pretend Trump somehow supports Russia.
This was Adam Schiff’s goal all along. He never really gave a fuck about impeaching Trump, he just wanted to strong arm him into buying more bombs from the Military Industrial Complex that Schiff serves like a dutiful prison bitch. He’ll be gettin’ an extra eight-ball tonight. He earned it.
Now, all they need are some cannon fodder to go along with the weapons.
Who ever said the U.S. can take my tax money and ship it off to Ukraine, or to any foreign nation??? Down with ALL the DC Ghouls,,no matter what party!! 🙁 PURGE!!
