Ukraine’s state-funded publication Ukrainska Pravda reported: ‘Sources familiar with the matter reportedly said that the Biden administration is weighing whether it can allocate about US$200 million from US Army funding to provide immediate support to Ukraine as a much larger aid package remains blocked in Congress.’
Citing a report from Bloomberg:
Debate over utilizing a small amount of Pentagon reserves underscores the furious effort at the White House to find any possible support for Ukraine. But the possible funding is minuscule compared to the more than US$61 billion in Ukraine assistance President Joe Biden has asked Congress to authorize.
The outlet wrote
However, this potential plan to mull more funds from the Army comes after Army officials revealed that they are desperately underfunded, mainly because a lot of their resources have been gifted and diverted to Ukraine, and if the Army does not get fresh funds this branch of the military will be forced to somehow operate with a deficit, vastly limiting their capabilities.
A senior Army official explained the veracity of the situation to CNN last month:
If we don’t get a base budget, if we don’t get Ukraine supplemental [funding package], if the government shuts down, if we get nothing else and nothing changes from today … we will run out of [operations and maintenance] funding in May.
We would cease to exist, [if these funds were not allocated from elsewhere within the Army’s budget].
The Army official said. Those operations include training exercises for Army forces in Europe and Africa and equipment moving into the theater. Contracts also wouldn’t be paid on time and would garner penalty fees, he added.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth told CNN she expects the Army would “have to sort of rob Peter to pay Paul.”
Every incremental dollar I have, it’s very important where I put that dollar. And I’m constantly choosing between, do we put it on barracks? Do I put it on enlistment incentives? Do I put it on exercises? Do I put it on modernization? I don’t have spare cash to be just sort of donating some of that.
This was money that we anticipated to be replenished, obviously, by the supplemental.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
So, here we have an Army official explicitly telling the public that they are broke, and without new funding they’d “cease to exist;” and so what do the ghouls and puppets in Washington decide to do? ‘Let’s “borrow” even more funds from our inept and eroding Army. Genius!’
We’ll see what comes of this, but the deliberate weaking of American forces and defense could not be anymore obvious.
Our military is weak. It lacks leadership, training, experience, and thick-skinned soldiers and manpower, proper supply and logistics, and just the basic drive to want to fight and work is gone. In the words of former U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, “The end of the American empire is near.”
[21] He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. [23] He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. Job 12:21, 23
[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).

order out of chaos pope satan antichrist system being promoted now openly.
World War III, the biggest nightmare and fear since the Cold War is going to become a reality.
And you know what: America is going to be one of the theaters of operation.
Lord Jesus,
Forgive us for our sins, please have mercy, protect and preserve us from the judgement that’s coming to America and the world.
I pray You will also be with those who genuinely want the Truth but they’ve been lost and led astray for so long but they want to know the true Jesus and the true word the King James Bible, as I and many others once were, I pray You will swiftly come to them and save them as well, Lord.
As for the rest of America, for all the years of aberrant evil and pride and worse: doing so while hypocritically claiming to be a “God fearing nation” they’re finished!
I ask in Your name,
Amen.
Ukraine. Money laundering for US politicians, as well as kickbacks. (same thing, actually), and . . . the country where said politicians (attempt to) hide their criminal activities. The kind they should be hung for. They’ll be held to account though – but likely not until they stand before God.
In the meantime, everyone suffers to some degree.
Well, I will just revert back to what Jacob and (Bryan D / Born Again Barbarian) have expressed many times over: This IS part of GOD’s plan. It IS / HAS been Intentionally planned by ROME / JESUITS for Decades. This is NOT Biden or any of his “goats” making these decisions. As we all realize, it’s GOD allowing Lucifer to plan all of it out. America will be collapsing soon, and they have done it to themselves. Andrew is correct in that we need to constantly go to our LORD with Repentance, always asking for his Mercy and Grace. Just as important that Andrew mentions… pray for those souls that are lost, yet sincerely want the TRUTH. How do we do this? Daily when in our Study with GOD and in prayer…ask GOD to make us aware when he puts those lost people in our lives, where the GOD can use us to plant that seed or even give them the TRUTH to Salvation. I believe that GOD is about “Devine Appointment “, NOT Mass Witnessing. Time IS SHORT!!
This guy is a real piece of shit

Where is Jesus when we need him ….
