On Thursday, the Biden administration announced what is believed to be its last military aid package for Ukraine, which is worth $500 million and includes support equipment for F-16 fighter jets, air defense munitions, and other equipment.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin announced the new military aid at a meeting in Ramstein, Germany, a gathering known as the Ukraine Defense Contact group, which he has overseen since Russia invaded Ukraine nearly three years ago.
While Austin is leaving behind a raging proxy war and there’s no clear path to a Ukrainian military victory, he told the group that he was proud of his work.
“I am incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together. Over the past few years, we have moved heaven and earth to get Ukraine the security assistance that it needs,” Austin said.
“And together, we’ve committed more than $122 billion worth of security assistance and expanded factories around the world,” the secretary added.
Austin urged that military aid to Ukraine must continue amid uncertainty about how the incoming Trump administration will approach the conflict. “So we must not let up. That’s why I am announcing today another Presidential Drawdown Authority package, valued at approximately $500 million,” he said.
The new military aid is being provided in the form of the Presidential Drawdown Authority, which allows weapons to be shipped straight from US military stockpiles. According to a Pentagon press release, the arms package includes:
- AIM-7, RIM-7, and AIM-9M missiles for air defense
- Air-to-ground munitions
- Support equipment for F-16s
- Armored bridging systems
- Secure communications equipment
- Small arms and ammunition
- Spare parts, ancillary equipment, services, training, and transportation
The Pentagon also released a fact sheet that said the Biden administration had committed a total of $65.9 billion in military equipment to Ukraine. Including other types of aid and Pentagon spending on troop deployments to Europe and the replenishment of US stockpiles, the Biden administration has spent at least $186 billion on the proxy war.
That’ll really help freezing people in the Carolinas and the aftermath of the inferno in California for the poor. FJB.
Letting those people freeze in Carolina and burn in California…! Because Biden is not an American, rather a self-proclaimed Zionist…!
And the replacement may even be worse than that if it is possible.
the people who had their houses burnt down have triple the costs of their homes in bonds alone
theyll pucker up
You are completely oblivious to the working class, or do not care, because of your bloodlust.
Your lack of empathy astounds. Try harder to find your humanity.
So you’re telling me Palisades ISNT an up scale community with actors and public figures?
Yeah, they’ll be ok
Why don’t you have skin in the game for your murderous inclinations?
You want other people’s money and blood, and no sacrifice of your own. Why is that since you are such a champion?
Since you are ignorant, more people had losses than the wealthiest. But you obviously have no concern for anyone but yourself.
Get off the internet and put your boots in the frontline.

More bad money after bad.
A criminal syndicate is ruling the nation, as long as it is money and power it does not matter where it comes from. A convicted felon will wear the Crown for the next four years.
That same criminal syndicate is now ruling most of the Western nations (and apparently South Korea as well).
Soon the nightmare of obama /Biden will be swept into the dust bin of history as will Voldemort Zelensky.
The EU rats that supported Ukraine will start running for their holes.
To be replaced by the nightmare of Raygun/Rump. At least Ronnie had someone marginally competent backing him up, Rump meanwhile has J(ust) D(umb) Vance waiting in the wings.
Trump will even be worse than Biden, the ruling criminal elite owns him, Musk, another megalomaniac spend more than $270 million to buy the oval office for the first felon president. Can we sink lower than that?

This isn't spam.
He more or less announced it while LA was burning to the ground. He also announced the "great news" that he is now a great grandfather. And people around him had to clap for that?
We really do look more and more like ancient Rome. All we need now is some "Fiddlers".
"And I hope that we will all carry forward his deep devotion to the cause of human rights and human decency."
President Carter would be turning in his grave if he could hear what Austin said. A failed state is the result of lack of basic human decency, the denial of human rights, a characterless American criminal ruling elite is annihilating a nation until the last man if no one stops them. It is Biden's war.
I'm sure he was more disturbed by Putin's invade and annex adventures in Ukraine.
Russia too has the right of self-defense, like any nation Russians are using deterrent military action because the USA did not respond to diplomacy. Biden wanted a regime change , replacing elected Putin with Navalny, an American servant, he croaked some time ago, and weaken the RF, well, guess what, the Russians had enough of the Bullies in Washington, they are a nuclear power too. Remember that.
that's straight from the Kremlin's playbook answers.
Keep on repeating it. It may become true one day. Lol
You are not up with the truth, Biden and Austin SAID IT and acted accordingly. If it does not fit your narrative you deny it.
No, you cannot play that game with me.
What you said, is not objectively true.
I don’t play games with you, you are not objective, you have more than a little bias, you have a closed mind.
What Lysistrata said is the truth. It remains the truth even when the Russians make the same points. Saying it isn't true doesn't make it so. Of course, you know this, but you're just a propagandist.
The entire Zionist project is wrapped in lies and deceit and is now exposed for what it is. Israel and Ukraine are linked for the benefit of Israel. As more people wake up, the bigger the blow-back will be for Zionism and Israel.
And straight from the US playbook because the US would have reacted exactly the same way if a hostile military alliance was on their borders. But with much more carnage. "Shock and Awe" anyone?
Brzezinski would have liked it, not Carter. He was Carters big mistake, a Polish Russophobe if there ever was one.
Talking like the God…! He must have recited Bible since childhood…!
