The Pentagon is going to help keep the war going in Ukraine, by sending $800 million worth of weapons to the country. The delivery of weapons to be sent to Ukraine will include artillery, armored vehicles, and helicopters.
“The steady supply of weapons the United States and its allies and partners have provided to Ukraine has been critical in sustaining its fight against the Russian invasion. It has helped ensure that Putin failed in his initial war aims to conquer and control Ukraine. We cannot rest now,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House, after his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In addition to more of the “highly effective” Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft rockets, the US will now send “new capabilities tailored to the wider assault” it expects Russian forces to launch in eastern Ukraine, Biden said.
The Pentagon on Wednesday afternoon provided some details about the new aid, which is valued at $800 million – about $50 million more than estimated in leaks to the media on Tuesday. –RT
The United States also plans on sending Ukraine 18 155mm howitzers, some 40,000 rounds of ammunition, as well as 10 counter-artillery radars, two air surveillance radars, 200 M113 armored personnel carriers, 100 Humvee armored cars, and 11 Mi-17 helicopters. Other weapons listed by Kirby included 30,000 sets of body armor and helmets; chemical, biological, and nuclear protective equipment; anti-personnel landmines; C-4 explosives; and drone boats, described as “unmanned coastal defense vessels.”
“We tailored this list specifically to meet the needs that they have asked for with respect to what’s going on in eastern Ukraine,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters, adding that the US will start sending the equipment “right away.”
Russia has already seen this move as a provocation and previously warned NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) that any convoys transporting weapons and equipment to Ukraine will be considered legitimate military targets. The S-300 air defense systems that Slovakia sent to Ukraine last week were reportedly destroyed in a cruise missile strike in Dnepropetrovsk – a city Ukrainians call Dnipro – on Sunday, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
This can be seen as nothing less than an attempt by the ruling class of the U.S. to not only keep a war going, but expand it and empower the military-industrial complex. The cost will be life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Why don’t they send a bunch of Uke loving liberal homos too?
Thank you I needed a good laugh.
Why send weapons that are going to end up in Russian hands.
It’s pretty clear that the diabolically evil neocons are going to try to prolong this conflict as long as possible, and they are doing so because they want to get Putin and Russia bogged down in a quagmire that will deplete Russian resources and wreak havoc on the Russian economy.
If Putin is as smart as everybody has claimed he is, he has to recognize the strategy being pushed by the neocons and not let this drag on indefinitely. He needs to ramp up what he is doing, complete his original stated objectives, declare victory and end this conflict before it becomes a pit of neocon created quicksand and sucks him under.
You should move to Russia and help with the cause then. What are you, some kind of pussy? Put up, or shut the fuck up, traitor. Get the fuck out of my country. ??
Russia just lost a major warship, either the Ukrainians sank it, as they claim, or the Russians just blew themselves up by accident because they’re mostly incompetent (they have a history of that, remember the Kursk?).
Either way it makes a joke of all those who were so terrified of those highly advanced Russian weapons, heck, they can’t even keep their boats floating.
Putin seems to have bitten off a great deal more than he can chew.
We need to stay out of it. Let the people in that part of the world solve their own problems in their own way.
A – Good advice. The Amer. gov’t is a complete hypocrite. We accomplished nothing more than making a huge mess in several countries we invaded over the past few decades. In fact, we made things far worse. But the State calls it “spreading democracy”. Those people are going to hate us for generations for all the massive havoc, death, destruction, etc. We constantly harass, provoke, threaten, attack, and destroy anyone or anything that does not comply with the neo-con agenda. And now we have the gall to tell other countries what they can do or cannot do. The US is heavily complicit fomenting the mess in Ukraine, it has a direct hand in it all. There is no doubt the State/neo-cons/PTB/globalists are actually craving a world war to initiate a big reset. These groups want people of European heritage killing each other, and nations of Christian heritage fighting each other. TPTB/globalists/etc. wants the power centers of the world who can oppose them to be destroyed, and better yet, to destroy each other. Meanwhile, the MSM keeps reporting the State narratives we need to continue sending endless amounts weapons, keep egging it on, keep ramping the hostilities, and lots of stupid Americans keep believing it.
Buying a bunch of expensive solar toys that will be obsolete in a few years isn’t going to save you. Instead, get out of debt, as the indebted are dead meat. Also, how are you going to protect yourselves? INWO troops will be fully equipped, and you’ll need to prepare yourself to kill and be killed, including your family. How many of you can run 5 miles right now? Get your bodies and minds right before you go out buying stupid shit and indebting yourselves. The way to survive this is to have lots of money saved, a valid passport, and connections across the globe so you can skip from place to place to avoid conflicts when it gets hot. Hunkering down on a farm with a Tesla generator sounds sexy, but in reality, appendixes burst, molars crack, bones break, and things like rabies, bubonic plague, and pestilence will run rampant. Now, of course guns and ammo are essential, even in non SHTF situations like right now. You can’t eat silver or bullets, but both of those have very special uses. Seeds can be bought cheaply and easily right now. They will be used as currency in that situation. Again, SAVE YOUR MONEY.
The Fiat not so federal reserve note depends on the war machine to keep turning! Otherwise it collapses on itself!
