President Biden late Friday ordered the release of up to $350 million for military aid for Ukraine.
Biden ordered for the money to be allocated from the Foreign Assistance Act "in defense articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, and to make the determinations required under such section to direct such a drawdown." Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Saturday that it represented the country's third drawdown of money to Ukraine in the last year, totaling more than $1 billion.
"Ukraine is a sovereign, democratic, and peace-loving nation.

The Wall Street Journal reported at noon today (in an excellent long form dispatch regarding this morning's defense of the Kiev) that Biden has requested from Congress an additional $6.4 billion dollars for Ukraine aid and defense needs.

The Russian invasion will be over in a matter of days, or, at most, a few weeks. As fast as the sewer of Washington DC works, that money will be available for Ukraine by August.
Jimmy Carter was incompetent.
Ovomit was incompetent and evil.
Lyin' Joe bidet is incompetent, evil, and senile.
Our country is in a lot of trouble. But not half as much trouble as Taiwan, since the Chinese are watching just how impotent bidet is and will be waltzing into Taiwan any day now -- knowing that nobody is going to lift a finger to stop them!!!!

And he will give that to them, as long as they don’t investigate Hunter’s corruption and the 10% for The Big Guy…. Except there won’t be a Ukraine Government to throw money at in another couple days. Does that mean Putin gets the check, or pallets of cash, when he is the new Ukraine government? It’s how Biden treated the Taliban, so… most likely.

By the time it gets there its the same as giving it to Putin himself which is who Biden really supports anyway.

Feckless and pointless, just like "the One" [yes, perhaps BHO himself] giving the order.

They needed this a month ago, when it may have deterred Putin from attacking.

I wish my fellow Americans would/could read -- especially history.
When the USSR dissolved it was with the assertion that former Soviet States would not be allowed into NATO. They would provide the buffer paranoid Russian leaders desired. But, the West thumbed their collective noses at Moscow and allowed several in. Now, Ukraine wanted in.
All if thus could have been prevented by saying NATO would not accept any more former Soviet States. Guess what? Ukraine will never be part of NATO now and at what cost?

The military Industrial complex is back in business and business is very very good. Mitch is smiling ear to ear and Rove and Paul Ryan are high fiving and doing the Moon Walk.
