Biden team prepares to rush last minute aid to Ukraine

Gift the entirety of military resources not stationed in CONUS to NATO allies. If the plan was to try to strong-arm our allies for protection, literally take the ammo away.

And as official acts, he can do it with the Court's blessing.

You forget, the courts only would use that logic to help republicans and hinder democrats.

Precedent has no meaning to these fucks.

It's still the same as before and nothing on the level USA does for Israel where they happily intercept rockets for that rich, well armed count with an installed iron dome air defense.

Still no US air raids on Donbas and Crimea and such.

Maybe democrats expected a negative effect on the ballots because of it. Macron did something similar while running against le pen on last year? and released the package as soon as the ellection was settled

Because the military-industrial complex needed to slow-drip the weapons to make the war last as long as possible.

There is a tremendous amount of mostly empty Ukrainian land left. If Russia wants it all, their casualties will end in the millions, even without additional US aid. We're not the only suppliers, after all.

I have one, hear me out: it looks like the current german gov will decide to give up and have early elections. Current polls suggest that Merz will become chancellor. On multiple occasions he criticized Scholz for his cautious approach and voiced his support for Taurus deliveries. Not sure if he will go through but I think he specifically mentioned Taurus so often and prominently that it won't be easy to back pedal now. So it's likely that Taurus (and with it the Kerch bridge?) is back on the menu.

(Imho he's quite a shitty politician otherwise, but maybe he can get at least this right)

Well, we don't actually know that the next administration won't support them any. We assume they won't because of Trump's attitude to Ukraine, but the republicans have been somewhat divided over the issue, and Trump just does whatever he randomly feels like, and sending more military aid does benefit the MIC that can pay politicians, so it possible, if unlikely, that they'd get some support from them. There's also the possibility of support from Europe or elsewhere in the world. Finally, while a Ukrainian loss without foreign support seems quite likely, the pace of Russia's advances and resource expendature are such that a win for them is no longer likely to be "annex Ukraine or make it a puppet rump state", but more "take a strip of land close to the current occupation line", in which case a stronger Ukraine has a better negotiating position and so may be able to give up less.

With Trump supporting Russia will be a fast victory.

Next aid will be for Russia.
Trump already helped Putin with COVID tests, why not give full support, no one can stop him now

Maybe the EU gets its shit together... this could be for the good on the long run

Fucking idiot. The replacement weapons will be made here and paid to companies here

You think they are venmoing Ukraine?

The aid is for weapons delivery via 2 paths:

1. Write off appropriation and backfill of mothballed stock we already needed to rotate out or destroy, due to shelf life
2. Net new construction of weapons for immediate delivery to Ukraine. That construction happens in the US and us partner nations, and provides the US valuable use Intel as a cherry on top.

It's valuable spending either way.

Jesus fucking Christ, do you think we are shipping crates of Benjamins to Ukraine?

Are you really this fucking stupid? Clearly the majority of people in the United States are the dumbest motherfuckers alive, so I just need clarification.

That money is spent here. The money gets pumped into the US economy.

We get rid of ancient military equipment, Ukraine gets a boost, and the US economy gets billions of dollars pumped into it

The money stays in the US if that's what you meant?

That's not how it works bub.
