According to a Reuters article, Joe Biden is going to send a massive $2 billion plus aid package to Ukraine with the $1.75 billion in direct purchase weapons from defense contractors. Included in the $1.75 billion package will be longer range rockets, with another $400 million in weapons coming directly from U.S. strategic military stockpiles.
This announcement from the White House is coming on the heels of several reports that Ukraine was having difficulty matching the Russian forward advanced rockets and munitions that were capable of hitting Ukraine targets from outside of Ukraine’s ability to return fire.
This weapons delivery is also coming on top of the U.S. paying for the Ukraine government to meet its financial obligations, payrolls and government worker pensions.
(Reuters) – WASHINGTON, Jan 31 – The United States is readying more than $2 billion worth of military aid for Ukraine that is expected to include longer-range rockets for the first time as well as other munitions and weapons, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
The weapons aid is expected to be announced as soon as this week, the officials said. It is also expected to include support equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision guided munitions and Javelin anti-tank weapons, they added.
One of the officials said a portion of the package, expected to be $1.725 billion, would come from a fund known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows President Joe Biden’s administration to get weapons from industry rather than from existing U.S. weapons stocks.
The USAI funds would go toward the purchase of a new weapon, the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) made by Boeing Co (BA.N), which have a range of 94 miles (150 km). The United States has rebuffed Ukraine’s requests for the 185-mile (297-km) range ATACMS missile.
[…] GLSDB is made jointly by SAAB AB (SAABb.ST) and Boeing. It combines the GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) with the M26 rocket motor, both of which are common in U.S. inventories.
[…] GLSDB is GPS-guided, can defeat some electronic jamming, is usable in all weather conditions, and can be used against armored vehicles, according to SAAB’s website. The GBU-39 – which would function as the GLSDB’s warhead – has small, folding wings that allow it to glide more than 100km if dropped from an aircraft and hit targets as small as 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter.
The USAI funds would also be used to pay for more components of HAWK air defenses, counter drone systems, counter artillery and air surveillance radars, communications equipment, PUMA drones, and spare parts for major systems like Patriot and Bradley, one of the officials said. (read more)
This lawless regime does whatever they want with barely even token resistance or accountability.
Thanks largely to the cheerleading MSM.
Imagine if this was Trump,Bush, Reagan or Nixon doing the exact same things. And being protected and encouraged by the swamp media.
Done without our consent. JoeBama might as well be King George.
Try King Barack.
Try King Huessein. Or however you spell it.
I know there’s an “m” and an “f” in there….
Ah yes, the vaunted “republic.” That’s what you get when representatives usurp the lazy, distracted public. All direct control is lost, handed over to elites who roam the halls of power and enrich globalist CEOs with your taxes.
Why is congress silent?
This is a continuous act of war and we are not doing anything?
What the heck is the media doing? We never voted for this insanity and not one is questioning this illegitimate idiot and his admin?
If PDJT had done this, the papers would have the word WAR on every top page.
During the bushie era there was this retired couple who banged their garbage cans in front of their house with a large sign: stop this endless war! every day during rush hour . They stopped when obummer came to WH.
I guess wars to not exist when demorats are in office.
This is TOTAL BS and an abuse of our nation’s citizens.
None of my emails are answered by the dems. The lone republican tries.
Totally corrupt.
Because of a 1/4 or 1/2 of them are in on this specific grift?
They will need it all if they think in their twisted minds they can buy off St. Peter with the blood of millions of innocents on their hands.
There is no voting majority for stopping the gravy train to Ukraine. The money will be spent in a week anyway.
According to some Ukrainian officials, 60% will be stolen right away, much of the rest will be sold on the black market….
The SAME Congress that INVITED Z to speak and clapped with maniacal seals and were so gleeful to watch Z FLY his flag in the Capitol?
THAT Congress?????
The traitors.
Truth. Where are the giant puppet heads of brandon? No Code Pink, not even reconstituted? No way to get paid protestors to Delaware, only to Texas? Okay, there’s no convenient “sh” in his name for the signs, but there IS an “i,” so it still works. And whatever happened to the anti-war branch of the democrat party, the part that used to be called their “base”?
There are some rumblings surfacing about the Uke KIA actually being 230,000 to 300,000, including civilians. 10M Ukes left the country and counting all the other factors the population of Ukraine is about 50% of what it was one year ago.
“10M Ukes left the country”
Ho! ari … you scared the bejeesus outta me for moment there
My mind speed-read that as ‘10 Megaton Nukes‘ before my brain slowed down and got it right
I know Ukraine gave up all their nukes in some long-ago negotiation between Russia (Soviet Union?) and the West
But I’ve suspected maybe they held a few back, maybe in that salt mine that was just captured last month
StratFor now says 303,000 Ukrainian KIAs….
I assumed that this was motivated by kickbacks, but I’m starting to think that I’ve had the whole thing bass ackwards.
This Zelensky character probably has the receipts for every dirty thing the uniparty has done in Ukraine. He has them all by the short hair and is dictating US policy.
Very true and I bet he (and others) have several dead man switches ready to activate if US pulls a JFK on him. And the US knows it.
Somebody has this whole clown-show in DC black-mailed or something worse, for the last 10 years, everything coming out of the Kongress and bureaucratic DC has been a lie or falsehood; spoken and in reports. It eventually gets corrected, but years too late. But the worse thing is the head-fakes they have us under with these secure documents. I have no doubt the DeepState knows EXACTLY what documents Obama, Bush, Trump and Biden has. What they don’t know is the documents Hunter has traded and sold; deals made and what compromises the Biden Cabal has made with our “current enemies”. For instance, everybody thinks Mar-a-largo was first, Biden was second, Pence was third, etc. We can’t possibly know if Mar-largo is a result of the Biden documents that have been black-mailing the government and worse. NOTHING being spoken or written by government officials can be believed at this point; especially THEIR storyline, sequences, reasons, etc.
Zelensky has Epstein’s black book. Maybe that’s why congress is not saying anything??
This is exactly what it is, a little skin for the big guy to keep the swamp corruption hidden. Biggest blackmail grift ever
I wish it were so simple. Corrupt politicians, the military industrial complex and the usual crooks….
We are not the only country Zelensky is milking dry.
NATO, EU and “the West ” have been trying to conquer and divide Russia up into little pieces since the fall of the Soviet Union.
A lot of natural resources in Russia they would like to get their hands on.
Ukraine is just being used as another attempt.
Correct. The blackmail was set up several years ago. Zelenskyyy is just collecting the dues and nobody can stop him. We have old women wearing Ukrainian flags on their church clothes. This crap has been worse for me to watch than the stolen 2020 election. Soon Biden will be gone and Mochelle will be installed as our next unelected President. I guess we should always be careful what we wish for because we just might get it.
Will we ever see our Government involved in anything but a coverup of the last big coverup again? 🙁
While I have seen plenty of Ukrainian flags on homes and some businesses, thank God I have not seen one affixed to a church lady: it might induce vomiting of my galumpkis.
I would NOT be attending the church those old women went to.
Please don’t feed my nightmares with talk of Mochelle….that’s one of the immediate answers that come to mind when the question is asked: Can it get any worse?
Biden had Zelenskyy by the short ones over our aid of $1.5B, giving Zelenskyy the power over Biden (and all of us) for the tune of over $100B. That’s a nice return on investment, but Biden wins in either case. It’s nice to have a country you can sell for personal gain. Until the chickens come home to roost—if ever.
Of course, the number of our people getting rich over this could be innumerable. Certainly, we didn’t have a soup line of our finest in Ukraine because it is a famous tourist destination during war time. They looked like clowns, but it must have been worth it.
2014 coup courtesy goblojoe, nuland…
OF COURSE! Z. has BiteMe by the short and curries, and more than that!
Money going back to Pelosi, Romney, McCain, McConnell, Kerry, and others.
Speechless with anger here.
The ultimate money pit.
Heh. Good name, Hillarious.
I guess the “good” thing about all these expenditures and frequency thereof is that it gives a pretty good idea of which side is winning and which side is losing despite the Bullsh!t News (BSN) best efforts. If a certain side was winning handily, continued (and updated) supply would not be needed.
another 2.2 billion?
yikes
time to stack some more precious metals.
At 100 Billion for remaining 20 million Ukraine population= $5000 per person.
No border crossing necessary except for the US dollar.
This is insanity…,he is stealing from us!
When did you notice? This has been going on since Obama decided to make Biden a war President.
So what “emergency” did Bidinh have declare to unilaterally arm a corrupt Euro State? How is America threatened if Russia takes a chunk of disputed Ukraine land? It’s no “emergency” for me.
ohhhhh yeahhhhh … Raytheon needs another neverending War to supply
Rumor has whispered that our military outdated stockpiles need refreshing. This will conveniently give our military industry a patriotic cry to re-stock for our own security against a potential Asian dragon.
This is what that Dutch admiral who is in the NATO high command was speaking about last week.
Only so much can be produced.
We do not have the production capacity.
It takes years just to build a facility to manufacture.
The equivalent of a Vietnam War protest would be geofenced and crushed.
MSNBC would call a Vietnam War like protest another January 6.
WAPO:
TRUMP BEHIND PACIFISTS!!!!
Trump! A peacenik! WAR WAR WAR !!! Let’s drone us some Ruusskie’s!!
People should know by now to leave their phones at home.
Leave phones and cameras at home!
Continued supply and use of armaments from our reserves is the same as depleting the oil reserves. Replacement will be at a higher cost. And depleting stockpiles also benefits a certain Pacific nation when they move to “reunify” with a wayward province.
The notion that a certain Pacific island is a “wayward province” is a PRC concocted fiction.
Why?
If our energy is going increasingly to defend the answer at the end of that question, then it seems we may have to let go of the idea that got us into this mess.
The USA many of us believe/d in, is gone. The USA as it currently exists fosters death and destruction in order to serve itself and maintain control.
Time for new ideas, they can look however they need to, and they can replace the USA in a flash.
Letting go of the USA, lets us let go if it’s co-opted enemies and problems. Open to something new and different. Sanctity of life, government ruled not by force but by integrity and compassion.
And a third party. One that actually represents the will of the people.
I have nothing against average Ukrainian citizens (minus the Nazis), but I have grown to truly hate the country of Ukraine.
We had to destroy it to save it.
And so that BlackRock can rebuild it.
Larry FINK.
And that’s probably how the rest of the world views America as well…..
Me too!!

I know this might be off subject, but maybe not.
Mayorkas is an enemy combatant.
Please read:
He is the reason we are unfolding at the border and sending money, weapons to Ukraine.
Cuban Jewish enemy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alejandro_Mayorkas
If anyone can weigh in, please do! Much appreciated.
When you find yourself in a hole.. First thing to do is keep digging faster.
This is what the politicians must be thinking.
The US military is starting to push back. I heard a report (I think it was on Alex Mercouris update sometime) that in 6 months the US would be at a point where if war would break out with China, they would not be even able to fight it.
Within 6 months the US is going to have to make a decision. Save Ukraine or save itself.
Who gets to make that decision?
I would like to think it’s obvious which choice should be made….but aren’t all of us who want America 1st policies labeled as domestic terrorists?
IS THERE NOTHING ANYONE CAN DO TO STOP HIM???
IS THIS OBAMA’S DOING???
“IS THIS OBAMA’S DOING???”
Well, it’s definitely not demented Joe’s.
Things are getting desperate for Ukraine is the message here. Imagine the shock when Zelensky negotiates a surrender that turns over sophisticated US weapons to the Russians.
“Pharma, MSM, Tech, Intel, Zelensky, WHO, Deep State All Working Together to Cover Up Bioweapons in Ukraine”
January 31, 2023, 7:00pm by Richard Abelson
“Nuland, who spilled the beans on the fear of “Russian forces getting their hands on the biological research in Ukraine”, engineered the Color Revolution in Ukraine. They started a civil war, then picked their puppet to run the government, creating a Deep State proxy.”
They all need a hangman’s greeting. The whole cabal
People should read the entire Twitter thread by Clandestine. It’s superb. It also covers the impeachment of President Trump over the phone call to the Ukraine and much more:
1) Now that I have everyone’s attention, allow me to address why US establishment politicians are sending tanks, jets, weapons, equipment, and $100+ billion to Ukraine. It has nothing to do with Ukrainian citizens, and everything to do with Deep State assets/secrets in Ukraine.
I don’t dispute any f it but that is a photo shopped pic.
The conspiracy theories are turning into truth at a faster rate than ever—it’s getting so it’s hard to keep up with it….
Ukranium First, Ukranium One!
This is over. I point you to the latest from the DC Think Tank RAND Corp. Those fools encouraged this mess and now they’re trying to save face. Perhaps maybe even start a war with China.
China & Russia are both fighting for their right to exist. We should NOT get into the BS herd attempt from the right telling us to hate the Chinese. China has done nothing to us as citizens except make us products.
Russia just wants to be left alone too. Kinda reminds me of us. I understand China had tried to infiltrate our politicians and maybe even our culture. Can you blame them? I promise you from what I know now China didn’t want Trump gone in 2020. They had a pragmatist who they could respect with a Nationalist Idealism. Nothing wrong with that kind of competition.
Ok so this is probably going to end in the next couple months if you follow RAND. They are failing to account for the fallout out of defeat and withdrawal just like they did at the onset of the war. This will not be some simple humiliation as it was in Iraq & Afghanistan.
This will be a block party for countries outside the Western Sphere of influence grateful for the “Mighty Russians” holding their ground. The momentum will carry a groundswell of like minded travelers and perhaps even some countries from NATO into the sphere of the new Multi Polar World.
May Globohomo, Neocons, NeoMarxists all burn in hell!
Pure-and-simple military industrialist grift. This is nothing more than a “shopping list.”
For every “$2,200,000,000.00” that is sent out, “$200,000,000.00” is very sure to return without delay to the Beltway. If not more.
Notice(!) that the only actual topic of conversation is: “money.” There is never any discussion of any operational dilemma that might be being faced by [Ukranian] “troops on the ground.” Nope. This is pure business. And I sure hope that the ghost of Dwight D. Eisenhower is not within earshot …
While Americans are struggling…..
Biden sends money to another country.
But Der Drahtzieher (the wirepullers) as Hitler called them hate America and Americans.
How is the house not stopping this? What about the war powers act?
Sadly, the House is irrelevant at this point. It’s a proxy war. As long as only US military advisers are involved and not actually on the battlefield, there’s really bot much they can do. Ans even then, the Senate has pretty much defanged them by passing the omnibus bill before the new House was seated.
It looks to me like the Biden Administration through Sec of State Blinken is attempting to get out of the continuing war and lost cause in Ukraine. This is an interesting article about the empty peace offering being made to the Kremlin.

🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬
The bounty on Leopards and Abrams keeps going up.
I have seen reports of 100k for first one and 80k for others after that are captured or destroyed.
Businesses and organizations in Russia have already put the word out about the bounties.
Joke is that Ukrainians will be driving them to the front lines to turn them in for the bounty!!
Could be a good side hustle as the average Ukrainians salary is 6k a year.
No links, but- if this is true- good for Hungary and Austria.
U.S. is once again pumping hard for WAR.
Afghanistan has lots to sell
Yes they do. Afghanistan weapons, Ukraine weapons and our oil reserve depleted. Doesn’t all of this benefit china and weaken the USA. I feel like we’re being set up by traitors in this worthless government.
It’s being reported at Gateway Pundit that Zelensky may be using incriminating documents from Hunter and Joes dealings in Ukraine to extort the United States into giving them more money and weapons. The day Russia invaded Ukraine Zelensky sent out a bulletin to burn all documents associated with Burisma and Metabiota, keeping a few back for extorting purposes. It looks like there was some biological malfeasance going on. Which is a nice way of saying they were making millions for the crime family, developing bioweapons on Russia’s doorstep and up wind of them.
Wouldn’t they just target him instead? I think that could be easily blamed on the Russians.
Never having listened to Kid Rock, when someone suggested that I do so, this is what I found:
https://rumble.com/vxa06h-kid-rock-we-the-people.html
Sometimes I wonder if Ukraine is just being used as a gigantic live-fire munitions test range.
General: I wonder how a bunch of Abrams would match up against that.
Colonel: I wonder that too, sir. But live-fire tests would be too dangerous for our boys.
General: It won’t BE our boys. We’ll train the Ukrainians to operate them.
Colonel: But … oh. I get it. Hahahahaha
General and Colonel: hahahahahahaha.
You are not too far off point from the truth here.
It would be more of a test to see what Russia has.
Abrams have been around for awhile.
Plenty of pictures of the ones destroyed.

How is this parasitic criminal sending billions w/o 1st going through Congress… who is signing the blank checks? Our defense stockpiles have been all but depleted. Luxury cars, trips, homes, jewelry.. where’s the congressional oversight? And here in the US, 64% are living paycheck to paycheck
Just my rough numbers
$80 billion to start
$30 last fall
Tanks, that were not going to send
$2.2 billion….
Idk, how much, do they need? Sort of like when I was kid, dad I need some money. He would give me a $20 and not ask what for… That’s like $100 now.
WTF—-I’m sorry. This is insane. They are mocking us!
No brakes on this out of control ride.
Easy to write checks, when you are spending other people money.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia starts providing nuke missiles to Iran and arms to Venezuela as retaliation. This whole arming Ukraine thing makes both Israeli and the USA less safe.
Makes the whole world less safe. And yes, us too.
This whole thing has been disgusting from the start.
The next thing Zelensky will tell Slow Joe announce the reinstatement of the Draft age 16 to 60 to fight in the war in Ukraine aka Vietnam 2.0. WATCH and SEE!
Is there any way to stop him/them?
It Biden’s (or handlers) ideas but it is republicans and democrats, elected or unelected, who won’t stop Biden ✋
Wash DC is hopelessly corrupt…in it’s entirety….the politicians, the administrative state….
The Supreme Court
The corruption stole the 2016 election from Trump voters and nothing has been done about it….
Prepare and Pray….
Biden’s handlers are the same group that run the media, academia, Hollywood and everything else.
1st it was helmets….then it was rifles….next it was artillery and now it is M1 tanks….
F16’s are hitting the news cycle…longer range rockets…
The Left is ramping up the war they caused by playing the Ukraine corruption game.
Corruption in Ukraine by previous admin (obama) is just one more reason Trump had to go….
JoeTaterHead is pushing the US into a full blown war with Russia….
DOD is compromised…intelligence us compromised…
War is being escalated daily and weekly….
Biden is an idiot and his admin is leading us to war
Stop your fool, Obama….
Stop your damn fool….
