U.S. Poised To Approve Patriot Missile Battery For Ukraine

White House and Pentagon leaders have said consistently that providing Ukraine with additional air defenses is a priority, and Patriot missiles have been under consideration for some time. Officials said that as the winter closed in and the Russian bombardment of civilian infrastructure escalated, that consideration took on increased priority. #us #ukraine #patriotmissile #newsy

They shouldnt be meddling in this war. I mean the russians didnt supply guns to the Iraqi army when the USA illegally invaded

[kaiserheinrich]

P.S. I could've swore in the beginning someone said, we can't and won't interfere... got me thinking 🤔

[FUBAR]

Protect Ukraine’s borders, but not our own…….. yeah that makes sense

[BerettaMA-]

Why ? The United States needs to stop giving them money and weapons..it’s our tax money, weapons…it’s time they either get out or give up…

[roddangerson]

I love how governments just decide people’s fate

[SunnyAquamarine]

Referring to it as patriotic is supposed to make us think it's ok to destroy anything and everything. Unless the general public wants to destroy anything. Then it's a crime.

[ravenraven]

Big slap in the United States military face. This is a huge mistake!

[kaiserheinrich]

Lemme get some Patriot Missle money dudes, this is America, we need that, lower them taxes or something

[robertwehle]

Of course...What would 10% of the cost of this system be? I believe that's the usual kickback for Biden unless it's gone up?

[turningtides]

yes lets start now start sending cutting edge weapons. I’m sure the russians won’t immediatelly come up with countermeasures or see it as becoming an actor in the conflict. after all it worked great in 1917 and 1939 what could possibly come next?

[djabel_xreactions]

Stop helping continue the war !!!! What is wrong with America really? Can’t you see war won’t bring any peace but pain and suffering?

[w.d.gaster]

This is genius tactics at works! 😂 we’re sending one of our most advanced pieces of equipment into enemy territory. Way to go. 👍🏻

[tmayorca]

The range is like 40 Mike's max. Do not send these or they will be sold on black market in a week.

[egrono]

Which will end up in Nigeria for some reason.

[e.a.corral]

Why not troops to THE USA BORDER?
Yes. Help Ukraine but land in the hands of our ENIEMIES.

[larrymiller]

Why don't we send it to our own Southern border.

[needlamp]

At this point, with the systems and funding that has been provided to them, if they haven't won the war, then they won't no matter what we send.

[joshuapaul]

It would take Sam Brinton to do a thing that crazy! 😂😂😂1. This system wouldn't be particularly effective against Russian cruise and quasi ballistic missiles (it would further discredit Patriot after its poor performance in SA). 2 . It would have to be operated by American servicemen in large numbers basically on a suicide mission. It would be a colossal mission creep. 3 Many more medium and short-range air-defense systems should be sent simultaneously just to protect Patriot system (a sitting duck without this multilayer protection). They also should be operated by numerous American military personnel. 4. It would mean to all intents and purposes the beginning of WW3.

Why is it the UNITED STATES help your self ukriane we have more important veterans homeless and just Americans that come before you.... help Americans not ukriane....
