  1. Is this congressionally apportioned military aid? Are we gonna do “Perfect Phone Call 2: Impeachment Boogaloo”? I love sequels.

  2. Give it to me in a suitcase and I’ll definitely deliver the 4 billion in aid money.

  6. >The presidential drawdown authority is a scheme that allows any U.S. President to transfer weapons from the Pentagon’s own stockpile instead of ordering it from manufacturers that would take precious time.

    >The U.S. gave more than $60 billion worth of military aid to Ukraine during the Biden administration.

  7. We did this to the indian’s back in the 1800’s and now to ukraine. Sure it wont be the last.

  8. That’s a big Fail. I wonder if there’s some MAGA internal interference in the military.

  9. So Ukraine aid only becomes a priority once the election’s lost?

  10. Makes it sound like trying to withdraw $500 at a time from an ATM

  11. Too little too late, what a political cop out to save face while on the way out of office. They had the power to give Ukraine what was needed, and they failed to do so when it counted

  12. Don’t forget the “loans” we gave them. Funny how the article doesn’t seem to think those count. We lent them money that we don’t have.

  15. Keep the money at home to take care of our veterans

  17. Would’ve been a better plan to not delay it until the latest hours, wouldn’t it?

  19. So that’s going to be redistributed to the American people.

    I know it’s arms not money. I just know what’s coming as the economy tanks under Trump.

  20. They just need to use larger denomination transfers.

    Fly over a bunch of F16s, and anything else they need to own the sky. Leave the keys in Kyiv.

    Too slow? Just do some quick title transfer paperwork to each or the baltics/nordics/netherlands and have them come pickup everything. A full team logistics push.

    If anything hasn’t moved by Jan 20, at least the paperwork can say that Netherlands is the new owner, the gear just hasn’t left the USA yet. Those NATO countries on the border will finish the job as they can.

  21. Such a senile, cowardly, inept president. Lives were lost as a result of him having pants, like we say in Mexico.
