Summary
The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.
This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.
Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.
Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.
Does this make you feel good spreading Russian propaganda?
Russia invaded Ukraine in a fascist land grab just like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin at the beginning of WW2
To be fair Russia had been screaming for 8 years that if America didn’t stop messing around in Ukraine that it would force them to go to war. Wasn’t like they just one day woke up and decided to invade for no reason.
Ukraine, as a sovereign nation, has the right to associate with whomever they want. Russia being mad that a country formerly in their sphere has turned westward as a direct result of being consistently abused by Russia is not a fault of the United States.
I see what you are saying but it’s not unusual for powerful countries to not allow smaller countries around them to align with foreign powers. For example America has the Monroe Doctrine. Any country in North or South America tries to align with a European or Asian power America goes to war.
The Monroe doctrine is 200 years old. Anyone using it for an excuse to interfere in another nation’s foreign affairs is a clown.
The CIA worming its way into a country isn’t that country merely deciding to set their alliance in their favor.
So why didn’t he say that instead of this special military operation to de-nazify ukraine? wth was that?
He said both. Over and over again.
Well good news for Putin I guess, thanks to his stupidity NATO membership increased in size with Sweden and Finland joining and lots of other countries also looking at joining for protection from… Russia
He could have integrated Russia more deeply into Europe, with the gas pipelines and supply of energy, France/Macron was constantly saying that Russia should be more integrated into the EU… but then he did this and now I doubt in my lifetime we’ll see Russia be anything more than a pariah state
10 years ago Ukraine was already trying to get rid of corrupt Russia linked politicians. Ukraine wanting to join NATO is their own choice, because of Russia. It’s like a bully that bullies because their victim didn’t want to get bullied and tried to get help.
So yes, imperialism. But also very much colonialism. Putler seems to want to bring the Soviet union back.
This is a lie
Doing something wrong isn’t made better by threatening to do it first
