The weapons gravy train to Ukraine

Editor's note: The Ukrainian military continues to be pumped full of weapons from the US despite the Ukrainian military being annihilated in Kursk (estimated 20,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries). Former President Donald Trump said he threatened Russia's President Vladimir Putin to strike Moscow, he told The Wall Street Journal. "I said, 'Vladimir, if you go after Ukraine, I'm going to strike you so hard you won't believe it. I'm going to strike you right in the middle of fucking Moscow.' I said, 'We're friends. I don't want to do it, but I have no choice,'" Trump said. Trump's on drugs. The Raytheon man in the Pentagon Austin thinks this is a sporting event. No matter who wins the US presidential election it won't matter. It will be a continuation of this proxy war (war project) on Russia using Ukraine.

Austin Visits Ukraine, Announces New $400 Million Weapons Package

The arms package includes HIMARS ammunition, other munitions, armored vehicles, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment

by Dave DeCamp | October 21, 2024

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin made an unannounced visit to Ukraine on Monday and announced a new $400 million weapons package.

The Pentagon said that during the visit, Austin will "meet with Ukrainian leadership and underscore the US commitment to providing Ukraine with the security assistance it needs to defend itself from Russian aggression on the battlefield."

Austin's visit comes as Russian forces are taking back territory in Russia's Kursk Oblast and continuing to make gains in eastern Ukraine. In the face of these advances, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has unveiled his so-called "Victory Plan," which is essentially a list of demands for more military aid from his Western backers.

Zelensky is also asking for NATO to support long-range strikes inside Russian territory and for NATO countries to help shoot down Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine. But so far, those requests, which risk nuclear war, have been rejected by the US and NATO.

Despite no clear path for a Ukrainian victory, the US continues to fuel the proxy war with fresh weapons shipments. The $400 million arms package Austin announced will be provided through the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the US to send weapons straight from US military stockpiles.
