Ukraine fronts the story for the US-manufactured Patriot missile system and The Washington Post does the advertising

Editor's note: The way it works is that you get the Ukrainians to falsify a story about a US-manufactured Patriot missile shooting down a Russian-manufactured Kinzhal hypersonic missile. The story after looking at it seriously and knowing all the major CIA-connected news sources in the US starting with the The Washington Post put the story up, you just know the story is BS. But not only is this story BS, it is copy edit advertising for Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing's US-manufactured Patriot missile system. The Patriot missile system cost approximately $4 million per missile, and the launchers cost about $10 million each. $4 million per missile?! That way when military leaders of other countries who really can't confirm what was shot down in Ukraine, all want their respective governments to purchase expensive Patriot missile systems because now they even work against hypersonic missiles.

U.S. prepares to fast track $500 million of arms for Taiwan

The Biden administration is preparing a $500 million weapons package for Taiwan, using a fast-track authority that it has relied on to speed arms to Ukraine, people familiar with the matter said.

The package will involve sending existing stockpiles of U.S. weapons or support equipment to Taiwan under what's known as a Presidential Drawdown Authority, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The equipment to be in the package wasn’t immediately known.

Using a drawdown will let the U.S. sidestep the often-lengthy process of contracting and producing weapons, which has resulted in what lawmakers say is a $19 billion backlog in armaments that have been approved but not yet delivered to Taiwan. It hasn't been used to send weapons to the island's government.

Does that "bilateral cooperation and well-being" also include large quantities of US-manufactured weapon systems?
