    The support will include both a $1.25 billion drawdown package for Ukraine’s military and a $1.22 billion package authorized through the U.S. Department of Defense’s Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, according to Biden. The department has now used all funds allocated by Congress under that initiative, he added.

    I’d say at least he did it even tho he waited till the last minute…

    The U.S. Department of Defense will be delivering hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, thousands of rockets and hundreds of armored vehicles to Ukraine, Biden said, “which will strengthen Ukraine’s hand as it heads into the winter.”

    But there’s only 3 weeks till trump’s in office, so I’ll wait to see if the deliveries are made before celebrating

      I do at least have some hope that if Trump attempts to prevent it happening, he will do so by tweet and therefore be ignored by the actual people responsible for it

        It’s the dictator’s dilemma.

        The only people they want to work for them has to always tell them what they want to hear, and those are bad employees.

        So stuff like this, if trump even mentions it, someone will just tell him it’s handled whether it is or not.

        I’d feel a lot more confident of good people stopped resigning and stayed to do what good they can, but trump ain’t filling those spots with competent employees
