The United States has announced another military aid package for Ukraine, deepening its involvement in the war in defiance of repeated warnings by Russia.
On Wednesday, the US Defense Department announced to supply weapons worth of $300 million to Ukraine, including air defense systems and tens of millions of rounds of ammunition, AFP reported.
The Pentagon said the latest shipments will bring the total value of American military aid to Ukraine since February 2022 to $37.6 billion.
“The United States will continue to work with its allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs and longer-term security assistance requirements,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
But the Biden administration warned Ukraine that US weaponry should not be used to attack within Russia.
“We have been very clear with the Ukrainians privately — we’ve certainly been clear publicly — that we do not support attacks inside Russia. We do not enable and we do not encourage attacks inside Russia,” White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday.
Kirby on Wednesday said the United States has laid out its ground rules to Ukraine.
“We don’t tell them where to strike. We don’t tell them where not to strike,” he said. “Ultimately, President (Volodymyr) Zelensky and his military commanders decide what they’re going to do.”
However, “we certainly don’t want to see attacks inside Russia that are being propagated, that are being conducted, using US-supplied equipment.”
The United States and its allies have been pouring weapons worth tens of billions of dollars and other aid into Ukraine since the start of its conflict with Russia, despite Moscow’s repeated warnings.
In total, the Biden administration has committed more than $100 billion to the so-called “Project Ukraine.”
Russia has warned time and again that the continued supply of Western arms to Ukraine will only serve to prolong the war and add to the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
US President Joe Biden has said he expects American aid to Ukraine will continue without interruption despite opposition by Republicans.
Republican lawmakers have voiced concerns about the haphazard military shipments to Ukraine.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said Washington’s military aid to Ukraine was a US-led “proxy war” against Russia.
She said the Ukraine war had placed a heavy financial burden on the shoulders of Americans, who were already grappling with poverty.
However, the lawmaker also admitted that war was “a deadly profitable industry” for the US government.
Russia began what it described as a “special military operation” in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 as part of a national security measure against the persisting eastern advance of the US-led NATO military alliance.
Moscow also said the military operation was aimed at defending the pro-Russia population in the eastern Ukrainian regions of Luhansk and Donetsk against persecution by Kiev, and also to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.
An American academic and political analyst said recently that Washington’s insistence on NATO enlargement to Ukraine had made the country “a victim of unachievable US military aspirations.”
Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs wrote last week that the Ukraine war was provoked by the United States and President Joe Biden played a personal role in it.
Sachs, who is a University Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, commented that “the relentless US push to expand NATO,” was one of the “two main US provocations” that precipitated the war.
$1 billion Patriot system destroyed. 29 UK Storm Shadow cruise missiles at £2.54 million a pop, shot down by Russia. In fact, they were most likely downed by electronic jamming, so supper cheap.
Remember that I said the SAS were inside Russia doing acts of terrorism? Remember that I said the Kremlin drone was most likely SAS? Well, Douglas Macgregor has now supported what I said. He says the SAS are behind the oil refinery attacks, and the drone attacks in Moscow, and that said drones are British/British made.
Now, it has come to my attention, that huge NHS resources are being diverted to treat UKrainian Nazis, and NATO Nazis. I have said previously, that the NHS has secret wards, but it’s much, much bigger. Some doctors and consultants are now working part time treating regular UK sheeple. Most of their time is spent treating Nazis.
I’ve previously stated the UK/US, & most of the West is a technocratic neo-feudal fascist system, and that the UK and UK are one party states, and since the Russian SMO, they’ve openly worn their Nazi jackets, but now I go further.
The UK is literally run by MI6 and a very small cabal of nutters. There’s zero checks and balances, and even if someone spoke out, it would never be reported.
I can’t understand why Russia hasn’t nuked the UK? Medvedev has stated that UK elites are fair game, so expect them to be targeted.
The Brits as ‘eternal enemy’ – at last reality has dawned in Moscow. They have been repeating Hitlers mistake – he thought that the Brits were fellow Anglo-Saxons who would see reason. He simply didn’t understand that the Brits are so far gone that they are in effect, Jews. Unless Britain is wiped off the map, there will never be peace in Europe.
Good In-it.
You off load a huge stock of old, obsolete tackle,
charge huge interest on the suspect stock too.
Then bang in new orders for newer up to date weapons, saying our stocks are dangerously low, And it’s necessary, crucial expenditure that we reluctantly have to commit to, in the name of national security.
It gets better !
Not only did this work out well the first few times they pulled off this stunt, It’s going to be an on going agenda.
btw… you silly Ukies’. The day you pay off the ‘debt’, will be 1st June, 2106. (so they’ll tell you)
Ah well, there’s another F1 race this weekend, Who cares.
If Russia and perhaps later China responds militarily to the US-led west, and eventually they’ll be forced to, then do something so drastic that the warmongers in the west cannot respond effectively. That means something like sinking their whole navy to end their maritime involvement. Or target the politicians.
Kill the politicians and make sure those who must step into their shoes understand how deadly this war has become for them. When they know what it feels like to be a soldier at the front stepping up to take the place of a soldier who’s just been killed they may decide that as they can make the call for peace they want to do that now. Put them on the front line and their dream of being a war leader will then end.
McCarthy caved and gave warmonger Biden a blank check. It will not end well. Crown agent Biden is a monster, giving him any money is a big mistake.
If the budget deal passes, the federal debt will continue it’s upward curve, and so will interest rates, and so will interest on the debt. The only way to keep interest rates down now is to cut spending – which of course they will never do – so they are setting themselves up for bankruptcy by rising rates.

Biden wants to hire 75,000 armed IRS agents (licensed to kill) to squeeze more blood from the Amerikan tax slaves – this is an emergency measure to get more money to service the ballooning debt – but no one talks about it that way.
If you think about it, no one and no government can overspend over income forever, so the 666 million dollar question is how does this debt scam end. My view is that interest rates are going to the moon – and soon the headline will read “interest on national debt exceeds a trillion”. Look at the charts. The debt curve is going exponential.
USA is an eternal warmonger + therefore
needs a beating on its homeground !
that they dont forget anymore their
Monroe doctrin .
Say it directly – the US taxpayers WILL pour more weapons worth $300 million INSTEAD of building homes for the homeless, schools, hospitals and infrastructure. No wonder that Xi said: They don’t have money to repair their roads but blast it for arms.
