Biden Gifting Ukraine (Another) $3 Billion as Americans Grapple with Food Shortages, Inflation, and a Porous Southern Border

Simon Kent 24 Aug 2022

The Biden administration is expected on Wednesday to announce an additional $3 billion in direct military aid for Ukraine.

The gift comes even as Americans continue to suffer from the domestic challenges of food shortages, inflation, gas prices, and a porous southern border flooding the country with almost five million illegal immigrants.

The cash splash funded by U.S. taxpayers comes on Ukraine Independence Day and represents the biggest one-time package to date in the six-month-old war, far exceeding the $1 billion delivery earlier this month.

The Associated Press reports contracts for as many as three types of drones and other weapons, ammunition and equipment will benefit from the funding, even though it may be a year at least until they see the battlefield.

It's worth it to stick it to Putin.

That $3 billion is nothing compared to the trillions we dumped into Iraq and Afghanistan.

So far, he hasn't seemed intimidated.

So now flushing money down the toilet is a good thing, who knew?

[DefiantMassRINO]

Gives the US military an opportunity to field test weapons systems under real combat conditions.

Current wars are practice for the next wars.

[mountaineer]

Of course, by the time the US is next involved in a war, we'll have few troops and few weapons left.

The money quote:

In other words, they aren't giving Ukraine any weapons.  They are simply ordering new contracts to lobbyists for weapons manufacturing.

The Ukrainian parliament just voted to give themselves a raise.

The unanimous vote passed on July 22 just four days after it was submitted. ...

detv.us reported:      In July, members of the Ukrainian parliament decided to increase their salaries by 70 percent. It is unclear whether these additional government expenditures will be covered by international financial aid for the military.   ... Gateway Pundit

Reason #412 why we should not be giving them cash.

That is a very good way to squander their good-will.

Agreed.

U.S. Ports Receive 3,600 Russian Import Shipments Despite Biden’s Tough Talk

As Winter approaches, Western Europe's resolve will wane because they'll need Russian natural gas to heat their homes.

[cato potatoe]

And so here we are, seven months later.  The fight to the last Ukrainian continues unabated.  Russians advance, and they welcome a new alliance with emerging powers.
 America is humiliated and scammed out of a figure larger than the GDP of 100 countries.  Military-industrial complex gets rich, while oligarchs skim off the top.
