Biden to Send Another $1B in Military Aid to Ukraine; All War, No Peace
Who's counting anyway?
Americans bent over for the COVID-19 jab and are now bending over to fund the Ukraine War.
President Joe Biden informed Americans drowning under inflation that taxpayers will send Ukraine another $1 billion in weapons to support Kyiv’s losing war effort against Russia.
The U.S. has given Ukraine tens of billions of dollars to prop up its economy as well as military aid that is brining Washington closer to all-out war with Russia.
Breakdown as of 1 June
Total U.S. military assistance to Ukraine to approximately $4.6 billion
$40 billion in new funding to support the U.S. response to the crisis in Ukraine made available by the Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2022. The Act provides continued military assistance, including $8 billion in drawdown authority and another $10 billion in additional security assistance for Ukraine and countries impacted by the situation in Ukraine
$700 million in advanced rocket-launcher systems and 1,000 Javelin missiles
The Trends Journal has said that Ukraine stands to lose more as the war drags on. Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council who has been vocal since the invasion, is now indicating that his forces will not stop the assault until Ukraine is no longer a country. He posted on Telegram that he heard that Kyiv aims to receive liquefied natural gas from its “overseas masters” with payment due in two years, The Associated Press reported.
“But there’s a question. Who said that in two years, Ukraine will even exist on the map?” he said.

The New York Times reported that the latest batch of weapons of death include long-range artillery, anti-ship missile launchers, ammunition for howitzers, and “sophisticated American rocket system on which Ukrainians are currently being trained.”
An additional $225 million of the funds will be sent for humanitarian assistance to supply "safe drinking water, critical medical supplies and health care, food, shelter, and cash for families to purchase essential items," the White House said in a statement.
“Russia is using its long-range fires to try to overwhelm Ukrainian positions, and Russia continues to indiscriminately bombard Ukraine's sovereign territory and recklessly endanger Ukrainian civilians,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, speaking in Brussels, said Wednesday. “So we must intensify our shared commitment to Ukraine's self-defense."
TRENDPOST: “Shared commitment,” Raytheon’s former board member said. Ukraine is none of our business. We have been opposed to Russia’s invasion since the beginning, but NATO provoked Moscow into war with Ukraine, and is using the clown in Kyiv to carry out its proxy war with Russia in an effort to weaken Russian President Vladimir Putin and use Chief-Neo-Con’s Victoria Nuland’s coup playbook that got us here in the first place.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a useful idiot for the West, but he is unnecessarily killing his own people and destroying his own people for a war that he will not win.
The New York Times, citing current and former U.S. officials, published a report last week that American intelligence agencies have “less information than they would like about Ukraine’s operations and possess a far better picture of Russia’s military.”
Beth Sanner, a former senior intelligence official, told the paper: “How much do we really know about how Ukraine is doing?”
“Can you find a person who will tell you with confidence how many troops has Ukraine lost, how many pieces of equipment has Ukraine lost?” she asked.
