According to Reuters, Joe Biden is sending another $2.2B to Ukraine. He’s also sending longer-range missiles for the first time. Billions every week in addition to the big chunks that Congress sends every six months to Ukraine. Â They’re sending a glide bomb too.
Two anonymous US officials provided the information to Reuters. “It is also expected to include support equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision-guided munitions, and Javelin anti-tank weapons,” they added.
The money comes from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI). The funds will go in part for “a new weapon, the Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) made by Boeing Co (BA.N), which has a range of 94 miles (150 km).”
The longer range of the GLSDB glide bomb could allow Ukraine to hit targets that have been out of reach.
We must not overlook the fact that Russia has yet to deploy the forces mobilized at the end of last year. Those forces will likely be sent to the front in the near future. That will be when de-militarization and de-nazification will really begin. The Russian BMPT “Terminators” are already wreaking havoc on Ukrainian forces, with its dual rapid fire 30 mm cannons. All the tanks being sent will have to face the armored Russian Shturm which is capable of taking out four armored vehicles (tanks, APC’s, Bradleys) at a rate of four per minute.
The US, the West, EU and Ukraine aren’t fighting rebels in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are up against a formidable military power which has been modernizing for about a decade.
Some Ukrainian soldiers are complaining that they are not controlled by their superiors, but by unknown military men, who make sure the mobilized men cannot escape their fate.
Earlier, at the end of November, Reuters already reported on the possibility of supplying Ukraine with GLSDB precision-guided munitions with a range of up to 150 km. Then Politico announced their transfer in the last military aid package, but GLSDB never made it there. And now, apparently, the American authorities have decided to supply Ukraine with these missiles.
Nuclear War has always been part of the Russian War Doctrine with the West. Russia has a lot of land area with a population of only 143 Million People, The US and Europe is almost 1.1 Billion. Being outnumbered 8 to 1, an all out War of attrition with the West is not possible. Only fools believe that Russia will not use Nukes and they do have more than we do. The wild card is China!
Russia has said they will never strike first neither will they be second. Apparently they have the capability to hit US/NATO targets before any missiles they might have launched land. Doesn’t the US reserve the right to strike first?
Putin has said from day one tactical nukes are on the table and Russian / USSR doctrine has always seen tactical nukes as vital part of their war doctrine. Russian has 10 times the Tactical Nukes of the US and Europe. Russia also has an advantage in Ballistic Nukes. Traitor Joe has backed the US into a Corner and is playing a game of Chicken he can’t win. The only potential winner here is China, so who is calling the shots in the White House?
Obviously everybody is considered as ‘cannon fodder’….the escalation is NOT a coincidence…
Russia is at war. How could they see this as anything but escalation.
Rather that discouraging Russian, it is a reason to push the war faster and more brutally to break the Ukrainian will to fight.
When the USA wanted to end WW 2 more quickly, it used nuclear weapons. Why wouldn’t Russia?
Maybe deep state (O’Biden Admin) want Putin to use nuclear so they can scream louder Russia bad!
The problem is if Putin goes Limited Nuclear in Ukraine, we can’t respond. Any response on Russian Soil would ensure the total destruction of Europe in under 15 Minutes. Europe would be destroyed before our missiles even reach Russia. If I was a European, I would be stopping the US escalation. Even a nuclear retaliation on Russian Troops in Ukraine could result in a direct attack on European Nuclear assets to eliminate that immediate threat.
In addition, a response from American Land Bases would have the potential for total destruction of the East Cost and West Coast from both Russia and China. The Heartland would be saved as what both Russia and China want is America’s Bread Basket.
Traitor Joe is a very dangerous senile moron that needs to be removed from the Presidency Immediately. Heels up Harris is no better. This Stolen Election stuff is now more dangerous than most Americans realize because it’s just too dangerous to even contemplate and the Media is to blame.
Russia is in a far better position to survive a nuclear war than the US. Russians have taken Civil Defense seriously while we have kept telling ourselves that Nuclear War will never happen. Sticking your head in the sand just gets your ass blown off!
Well said Guv.
