The White House announced Tuesday a stopgap $300 million package of vital military aid to Ukraine, sidestepping Republicans in Congress amid fears that Russia's invasion is gaining ground.

    They’re a bit late to the dance.

    $300 million is next to nothing.

      Apologies, there are traitors holding our wallet that would rather see Putin steamroll through NATO. This is just what Biden could find in the couch cushions.

        I think you mean Russian assets they are bought and paid for at least traitors betray their country for ideology. These fucks will sell their soul for money and power.

      US defense officials said they had managed to find the $300 million for Ukraine by making savings on recent purchases by the Pentagon, but stressed the need for Congress to pass more aid.

      Unfortunately, until Congress unfucks itself, we have only scraps that we can legally send.
