US Airmen Prepare “Lethal Aid” Shipment to Ukraine

U.S. airmen prepare ammunition, weapons and other equipment for shipment to Ukraine at Dover Air Force Base, in Delaware.

READ MORE: U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday he authorized the Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to send U.S.-made anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine, a move that comes amid Ukraine’s rising tensions with neighboring Russia.

Blinken also thanked the former Soviet Republics and NATO members, “for their longstanding support to Ukraine.”

Blinken’s announced approval of the arms shipments came one day after the U.S. and Russia appeared to make little progress in the increasingly high-stakes standoff over Ukraine, each side leaving the latest round of high-level talks Friday promising only to keep talking.

The West is demanding that Russia pull its troops and weapons away from the Ukraine border while Moscow is pushing for NATO to curtail its operations in eastern and central Europe and insisting that the Western military alliance reject Ukraine’s membership bid.

One thing no one is thinking of: Ukraine preempts all this, amasses all it's forces, overwhelms the separatists, takes back Luhansk and Donetsk next week, and in doing so completely disrupts any Russian order of battle of plans it had for an invasion.

Let's all be on the same page for the sake of future history records on which side caused the start of WW3:
1. NATO violates agreement with Russia to cease expansion towards to the East and openly admits it intends to keep violating it.
2. On top of that, NATO refuses to allow Ukraine remain an Austrian type of partner to NATO, acceptable form to Russia, but insists it must be full NATO member, right up to the Russian border, incl. Donbass (where mostly ethnic Russians, not Ukrainians, reside)
3. NATO "invades" Ukraine with delivery of NATO weaponry, arms and staff to Ukraine "in case of Russian invasion"
4. Now, don't anyone DARE categorize potential future Russian actions as "invasion". The only acceptable term is retaliation.
5. Good luck to all the regular, innocent people on all sides and RIP to all who are about to die. Let's hope the casualty count will be far less than that of WW2.

Let’s just invite a war lol show Putin we’re helping Ukraine

[mohamedhadi]

I advise Biden team, think twice. It's not our problem what's happening around the world. Let's think about our people and country first and most. Crime, poverty, racisms, hungry, corruptions, education of our children and families, health care of our people, drugs investing and addiction, mentally healthy crises, drugs dealers, building hospital for COVID 19 pesients, addiction treatment center to care our people, homelessness and building their lives again, rebuilding our old and rotten bridges and infastucture, taking care of our seniors and improving their lives and loneliness, clearing our environment to leave better future for our young Americans, eradicating hate and anything that divides us Americans. Why care and waste billions of taxes money that has been taken out of our hardworking people and spend to other countries and wars that we have nothing to do with?? America has been doing this for centuries, what did we gain? Where are the billions America spent to others with no returns. Enough is enough think again, look after our people and country first.
