Summary
The Biden administration has pledged a major surge in military aid to Ukraine, including hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, rockets, and armored vehicles by mid-January, as well as troop training outside Ukraine.
This package, combined with nearly $20 billion in loans backed by immobilized Russian assets and new sanctions on Russia, aims to bolster Ukraine’s position in the war and future negotiations.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials are engaging with Trump’s transition team as his administration signals potential policy shifts, including ending Ukraine’s NATO bid and possible territorial concessions.
I’m glad armored vehicles are finally back on the table but holy shit guys this was all obviously needed months ago. And we had the capability to be training more troops this whole time? How long do we expect that to last under Trump?
And we had the capability to be training more troops this whole time?
Unfortunately winning the war wasn’t profitable enough to defense contractors (the ones who make the weapons for the government, not mercenaries because that’s what we like to call them too) so the goal was to keep it going as long as possible before winning.
How long do we expect that to last under Trump?
Minutes at most, Putin helped him get elected and he’ll be expecting Trump to pull support forthwith and I expect Trump will gladly comply.
The military should be making all of their weapons in house, and Congress people shouldn’t be allowed to own stock in anything at all, but especially not companies that make money off the government.
Time to take Moscow and St Petersberg ahead of Trumps big brain peace plan
