The following report is from the Associated Press:
The U.S. for the first time Friday said it will give Ukraine Scan Eagle surveillance drones, mine-resistant vehicles, anti-armor rounds and howitzer weapons to help Ukrainian forces regain territory and mount a counteroffensive against Russian invaders.
A senior defense official told reporters that a new $775 million aid package will include 15 Scan Eagles, 40 mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles known as MRAPs with mine-clearing rollers, and 2,000 anti-armor rounds that can help Ukraine troops move forward in the south and east, where Russian forces have placed mines. The official said the U.S. is looking to help shape and arm the Ukrainian force of the future as the war drags on.
These capabilities are carefully calibrated to make the most difference on the battlefield and strengthen Ukraine’s position at the negotiating table.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy tweeted his appreciation for the package Friday, saying “We have taken another important step to defeat the aggressor.”
This latest aid comes as Russia’s war on Ukraine is about to reach the six-month mark. It brings the total U.S. military aid to Ukraine to about $10.6 billion since the beginning of the Biden administration. It is the 19th time the Pentagon has provided equipment from Defense Department stocks to Ukraine since August 2021.
The U.S. has provided howitzer ammunition in the past, but this is the first time it will send 16 of the weapon systems. The aid package also includes 1,500 anti-tank missiles, 1,000 javelin missiles and an undisclosed number of high-speed, anti-radiation or HARM missiles that target radar systems. The Ukrainian forces have been successfully using various precision artillery systems to try and hold off Russian forces and take back territory Moscow has gained.
The defense official briefed reporters on the new weapons aid on condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Defense Department.
For much of the last four months of the war, Russia has concentrated on capturing the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, where pro-Moscow separatists have controlled some territory as self-proclaimed republics for eight years.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
Psalm 68:30
It’s Crisis Economics 101: this war must be continually milked for everything that it’s worth, to justify the Feds siphoning money from the taxpayer and print endless money. Of course, I seriously doubt these war toys are actually even going to the Ukraine. WinePress regulars know that whatever the media tells us concerning this war is simply not true. Russia is just as equally guilty for propelling and prolonging this proxy war as well.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

There is this one republican who will challenge Nicole Malliotakis in the Republican primary August 23, 2022. His name is John Matland. Here is his campaign site: https://www.johnmatlandforcongress.com
Maland is saying that Malliotakis voted to send money to Ukraine, while Americans suffer. The midterms are going to get crazy, because the right is slowly being ignited. Of course, you have the leftists running for office as. I believe that 2022 is going to start the war of the extremes in this country on a large scale (between the papal backed left wing communists/socialists & the papal/jesuit controlled right wingers (It is obvious that BOTH the far left and right are controlled by the pope)).
You hit the bullseye, Thomas.
Both sides are controlled by the Vatican and the Jesuits are (typically) on the right.
Either way, this country is doomed.
And don’t forget: the death shot kill off and the economic collapse as well as the energy crisis and famine are among us as well!
