Bringing more weapons to the battlefield so as not to escalate the war because, you know,...we have assurances that Ukraine will use them properly. FFS

.

U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday a new $700 million weapons package for Ukraine that will include high mobility artillery rocket systems, which can accurately hit targets as far away as 80 km (50 miles).
"The United States will stand with our Ukrainian partners and continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself," Biden said in a statement.


Biden announced the plan to give Ukraine precision HIMARS rocket systems after receiving assurances from Kyiv that it would not use them to hit targets inside of Russian territory.
Biden imposed the condition to try to avoid escalating the Ukraine war.

Has anyone been tracking the "official" total numbers now? Financial aid + all weapons sent to Ukraine? Surely someone has these numbers, I'd like to see the tally thus far.

Huge Flash and collateral when it was blown up.

You can bet this will not be the last time we send money to Ukraine.

Cause nothing says gun control like giving howitzers to neo Nazis in a foreign country.

Plus at least 1.5 billion since 2014. My guess is it's even much more than that, this is just a number provided by DoD itself

This one says 2.7 billion, prior to Feb 24.

I guess giving guns to neo Nazis is ok as long as they are fighting against Putin.

Stuff like that gets you a FB infraction.. I have a 4 day restriction.

Disparaging Nazis is against Community Standards..

Praising and supporting them is not.
