“We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding,” John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that “the assistance we were providing has come to a halt.”
The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

Funny how are government starts fucking up the war most Americans support AND fucking up the other one that most Americans don’t support.
One of those effects the transfer of capital far more than the other. The whole reason we have a navy is to police international waters for commerce.

A Navy in general, Yes. Our Navy was specifically set up to kick pirate ass, and make the high seas safe for trade. It’s in the first paragraph of the charter. Jefferson super babby hated pirates.
To the shores of Tripoli!

Just so we’re paying attention to our news sources,
i can post peoples world as a counter source
It’s clear that Ukraine is of “National Security Interests”. So I vote we just take a lil bit of the budget allocated for military spending and use it where it would be best served.
it’s mostly a gear refresh for our military anyway. we send them stuff we have stockpiled, then we spend the allocated money on new shit for us.
That’s exactly what the US was doing.

Take the Israel weapon donations, ship them through a sketchy ukranian subcontractor in Ukraine, “lose them” in such a way the ukraine government “aquires” them. Two problems solved.
There isn’t any funding for Israel either. The bill they’re working on now has Israel, Ukraine, and additional US border security dollars in there.
That is selling arms to Israel, doesn’t require US funding.
Israel didn’t get donations. They paid for them. If Ukraine showed up with $1B, the US would sell them weapons too.
(Ignoring that US gives Israel and Egypt billions just to not fight.)
We could send all of the people fighting the war on drugs, they’re used to achieving nothing.
Most cops would never make it through that much required training, tbh.
Still, more training than the Russians are given, and no one wants the boys in blue back, so: win/win.
I don’t think anybody should aspire to be more like the fucking Russians.
They’re only achieving nothing when you take the “war on drugs” at face value.
The USA has for-profit prisons, inmates that are functionally slave labor and an incarceration rate well beyond that of comparable countries.
Psychopathic neoliberals profit from the “war on drugs”. It’s not a byproduct of the war on drugs, it’s one of the goals.
You don’t have to politely accept it when they claim “it’s not about that”. Make them prove it by putting an end to the exploitation of prisoners and their families and investing in harm minimization strategies that actually work.
🤣😂🤣 Wait wait hol’up. You got me with “Psychopathic neoliberals”. 🤣 I gotta take a breath here, but: tell me how they’re the ones “profit from the ‘war on drugs’”. I’m all ears! Bahahaha!
Do you know what a neoliberal is or did you see there word “liberal” and assume you knew everything you needed to know?
Aw, jimmies rustled? Go touch grass, cupcake.
I already worked out you were a fucking idiot but sure, demean yourself in public if you really want to.
rip
Putin is going to give all of his U.S. congressional pawns a big bonus this week.
It’s sad to watch these world leaders who understand long strategy use the short American attention span to twist global politics to their own ends.

The headline is a bit misleading, as you can see in the 2nd paragraph of the submission text, it’s the current round of assistance that has halted, and they’re pushing for Congress to continue their support of Ukraine.

How the hell did we go from McCarthyism to “hurting Russia is less important than hurting democrats” in this hellhole?

It’s pretty easy for a foreign government to buy a small handful of US Congresspeople or Senators to do their bidding.

And it’s not that it has halted.
It has concluded.
It being halted would mean that that which was meant to be allocated is stopped from being allocated before all of it was allocated.
I’m sure Ukraine appreciates the difference.
If Zelensky and Ukrainians actions and words are an indicator, yes, they appreciate the difference between bullshit and saying what’s what.
Have you missed them pleading for continued US support?
Purposely so, that site was using sources and links to RT news.

Argentina has a lot of Russians that go there to have their baby. Apparently the baby gets citizenship if born there. So a lot of Russian young couples go there apparently.
What does having Argentinian citizenship get you though, from a Russian’s perspective?

No more military aid until Ukraine is willing to let the aid be properly tracked or vetted.
Insurgency and terrorist groups are goint to wind up with a lot of this equipment. See the middle east and other areas for examples.

Existential war for who? Its not for me or my neighbors. I feel for the people of Ukraine, but I don’t understand why suddenly the left is so hawkish to remain the world police. Where is your energy for every other conflict that happens?
Yes, other aid we give has logistics tracking munitions like javelins… That’s why we requested it from Ukraine.
If their situation is so dire, why are they in a position to reject basic record keeping requests?

The Kurds welcome Ukraine in joining the long list of groups abandoned and left in ruins by the US after being promised support to fight their enemy as long as needed.
Biden needs to focus on committing Genocide now. He has no time for Ukrainians beating an invasion. Surely Zeloonsky understands, he unconditionally supports israel’s genocide himself.
Do they even still need it? Russia is putting on a pretty sad show.
Yes they do. Russia has far more meat to send to the grinder than Ukraine has bullets for.
That’s fucked. Some real Zapp Brannigan bullshit.

“Take my bullshit issue seriously”.
Shouldn’t you wait till closer to the election to start crying about the scary migrants again? Settle down.
🤣
Why keep founding a loss war?
Ask Putin…
What is it now? Almost day 700 of Putins 3 day invasion?
Pootin can claim his “L” and slink back under a rock at any time. He’s going to lose - it’s just a matter of when.
I love how we can’t get anything done about our borders from the Democrats, yet, when THEY ask for more funds for Ukraine, the Republicans are just supposed to say “sure!”
Border states are turning down billions in federal aid to try and make Democrats look bad. I guess they’re convincing some dumber people.
Do you really think there hasn’t been a single thing done about our borders?
Well the first issue is that you think there’s a problem with the border.
Spoken like a true Democrat. Sincerely, someone who lives near the border.
My guy, the border is a boogeyman issue republicans push to win elections and try to make democrats look bad. For all the bloviating they do, republicans don’t do anything about the border either.
