Speaking from the Oval Office alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, U.S. President Trump announced a new military aid package for Ukraine, which will include “advanced weapons” funded by NATO member states. Rutte added that a “massive number” of weapons are set to be delivered to Ukraine from both Europe and the United States.

yay no more wars

But Trump didn't invade Ukraine. 🤷

Prolonging a losing battle not the way to peace nor good for the US.

America first on some things I guess?

Does it look like Russia is winning? It's the 4th year of war and they control 19% of Ukraine's land, down from 30%. Can you imagine the US having 19% of Iraq after all this time? Would you still say that the US is winning? And, to win, it's not Ukraine that needs to take Moscow, it's Russia that needs to take Kyiv. Can you honestly see that happening? Ukraine only needs to resist.

Yes, they won a few years ago.

Why the hell are we providing our advanced weapons systems to Ukraine, when we don't even have proper stockpiles of them? Insane.

With that money, you can build even more. The US might also send old crap as usual, and that's good for you because the missiles expire, and it costs a lot of money to demil them, sometimes close to the production price. And don't ignore the data you get from Ukraine using those missiles, this is how you get a better weapon system. You don't want to find out potential problems in a war with China, for example. Also, when other countries see what they can do, they'll order too. So you get money, jobs, intel, etc.

You miss my point. There is nothing America first about paying to help defend a non ally country, OR giving old stock and building new. Just feeding the ear machine. Raytheon and JPL(NASA) and Lockheed are stoked

I hope they get smoked sitting on the train platform.

Hahaha

Military industrial complex will get its pound of flesh regardless.
