The United States is once again sending even more billions of dollars of miliary and financial aid to Ukraine, the latest package to the tune of around $1.2 billion.
The WinePress recently reported that last week the U.S. government agreed to send another $300 million in aid to Ukraine, even though Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (California) said that he under his and a Republican-controlled House, no more “blank checks” would be sent to Ukraine.
The new total in foreign aid to Ukraine now amounts to $36.9 billion.
The Department of Defense (DoD) explained what is apart of this latest package:
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced a new security assistance package to reaffirm the steadfast U.S. support for Ukraine, including to bolster its air defenses and sustain its artillery ammunition needs. This package, which totals up to $1.2 billion, is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
This USAI package underscores the continued U.S. commitment to meeting Ukraine’s most urgent requirements by committing critical near-term capabilities, such as air defense systems and munitions, while also building the capacity of Ukraine’s Armed Forces to defend its territory and deter Russian aggression over the long term. This includes committing additional 155mm artillery rounds and sustainment support to enable Ukraine to better maintain its on-hand systems and equipment.
Unlike Presidential Drawdown authority (PDA), which DoD has continued to leverage to deliver equipment to Ukraine from DoD stocks at a historic pace, USAI is an authority under which the United States procures capabilities from industry or partners. This announcement represents the beginning of a contracting process to provide additional priority capabilities to Ukraine.
The capabilities in this package include:
- Additional air defense systems and munitions;
- Equipment to integrate Western air defense launchers, missiles, and radars with Ukraine’s air defense systems;
- Ammunition for counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems;
- 155mm artillery rounds;
- Commercial satellite imagery services;
- Support for training, maintenance, and sustainment activities.
The United States will continue to work with its Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs and longer-term security assistance requirements.
However, the Pentagon did not exactly specify in their press release what type of air defense systems would be gifted, top officials told the Associated Press that this deployment includes the HAWK system, developed by Raytheon – the second largest defense contractor in the country.
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
The war machine goes on. These psychopaths must continually fund these wars that we should have absolutely zero business in. But, the business of America is war; and both Republicans and Democrats love it, hence why they always fund it, enrich themselves, as they increase our taxes and pass regulations to keep us down. But America get’s what it voted for…
[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).

It’s one thing to have a military to protect your country, but the military industrial complex is wicked beyond belief! The Vatican’s war machine, the tool of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) the United Nations tyranny and imperial tactic, and the bankster’s biggest national cash cow.
