U.S. Authorizes New Weapons Shipments to Ukraine

Sounds like our Putin flunkies are getting desperate
Spiderman, Russia can't be desperate by definition. It seems like you are scraping at the bottom of the barrel to find a palliative for your feeble-minded Ukie friends. You better look for the relatively painless ramp off to save face. You can't beat us even if you scrape all the barrels of the world.
 
More money to the laundromat so the west can continue to grift.
Son, $2.5 billion is a drop in the bucket, but when that money can be spent on a good cause, for a change, then that's a good thing, if you believe in a country's right to protect itself from an aggressor who invades it.

Its all those drops in the buckets. We've already dumped almost 30 billion into this laundromat dump. No, we're not the world's policemen.

The United States plans to send Ukraine nearly 100 Stryker combat vehicles as part of a roughly $2.5 billion shipment of arms and equipment that is expected to be announced at a meeting of allies in Germany on Friday, two U.S. officials said on Thursday.

The decision to send the Strykers, which could be delivered within weeks, comes just days after Britain committed to sending Ukraine 14 Challenger battle tanks and the United States, France and Germany agreed to send dozens of armored infantry fighting vehicles, including 50 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Germany has also been under pressure to authorize the delivery of German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine.

Colin H. Kahl, the U.S. under secretary of defense for policy, told reporters on Wednesday that Ukraine needed more mechanized infantry and armored personal carriers to punch through heavily fortified Russian defenses.

“The Russians are really digging in,” he said. “They’re digging in. They’re digging trenches, they’re putting in these dragon’s teeth, laying mines.”

“To enable the Ukrainians to break through given Russian defenses,” he added, “the emphasis has been shifted to enabling them to combine fire and maneuver in a way that will prove to be more effective.”

The Stryker is a medium-weight, eight-wheeled armored vehicle that can carry troops and weapons. It was first deployed by the Pentagon in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003.

The latest package for Ukraine, reported earlier by The Washington Post, would also include more Bradley fighting vehicles; ammunition for HIMARS rocket artillery; 155-millimeter and 105-millimeter artillery rounds; other vehicles; and air defense systems, one of the officials said.

The U.S. announcement comes weeks after the Biden administration announced a $3 billion package of military assistance for Ukraine that will include Bradleys, which officials said would be especially helpful to Ukrainian units fighting Russian forces in the Donbas region of the country’s east.

Western officials fear that Ukraine has only a narrow window before an anticipated Russian springtime offensive, and have been working quickly to give Kyiv sophisticated weapons that they had earlier held out on sending because of concerns of provoking Moscow.

and what will you say when US soldiers start being killed in Ukraine? The corrupt country of Ukraine is not worth one US dollar or one US life.

So Putin can take Ukraine, Balkan’s,Finland just by threatening nukes?
