Biden spending last month shoveling billions to get more Ukrainians killed for nothing

Walt Zlotow, West Suburban Peace Coalition, Glen Ellyn IL 2 Jan 25

On Monday, President Biden released another $6 billion in precious US treasure to keep his proxy war against Russia killing Ukrainians till Trump arrives January 20.

Here’s what $6 billion will provide the decimated Ukrainian army being systematically destroyed in a war provoked and prolonged by President Biden

· Munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS)

· HAWK air defense munitions

· Stinger missiles

· Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems (c-UAS) munitions

· Ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems
(HIMARS)

· 155mm and 105mm artillery ammunition

· Air-to-ground munitions

· High-speed Anti-radiation missiles (HARMs)

· Unmanned Aerials Systems (UAS)

· Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems

· Tube-launched, Optically guided, Wire-tracked (TOW) missiles

· Small arms and ammunition and grenades

· Demolitions equipment and munitions

· Secure communications equipment

· Commercial satellite imagery services

· Medical equipment

· Clothing and individual equipment

· Spare parts, maintenance and sustainment support, ancillary, services, training, and transportation

That’s the final treasure Biden can squander because House Speaker Mike Johnson nixed his last request for another $25 billion before his thankful departure January 20.

Biden’s $175 billion in 3 years of war is all for naught as Russia is pushing remaining Ukraine forces out of the Russian province of Kursk and extending their defensive perimeter around the 4 eastern Ukraine provinces captured. None of these provinces would be in Russian control had Biden not sabotaged the peace agreement Zelensky and Putin were about to complete back in March, 2022.

Biden will leave office mired in the echo chamber of US exceptionalism and world dominance. He will no doubt praise his bloody, wasteful and failed course he plunged Ukraine to follow in his Farwell Address. While he could be worse, successor Trump has ample opportunity to end Biden’s Ukraine madness. Regarding Ukraine, Joe Biden cannot leave the presidency soon enough.
