This financial assistance includes counter-drone systems, additional missiles for the MLRS and HIMARS rocket systems, and anti-personnel land mines. The announcement has raised eyebrows, considering the significant amount of American tax dollars being funneled into the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
According to RedState, the U.S. is gearing up to dispatch an additional $725 million in military aid to Ukraine. This package will comprise counter-drone systems and munitions for Ukraine's High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, hinting at the possible deployment of more long-range missiles on the battlefield. While it remains unclear whether the munitions for the HIMARS are the sought-after ATACMS — the Army Tactical Missile System — Ukraine has been lobbying for more of these long-range missiles to target additional locations within Russia. The package also includes more anti-personnel land mines, which Ukraine is relying on to deter Russian and North Korean ground forces in Russia's Kursk region.

Secretary Blinken announced this substantial aid package, stating, "Today, I am announcing the delivery of $725 million in additional weapons and equipment for Ukraine’s defense. The United States and more than 50 nations stand united with Ukraine." This significant financial commitment to the ongoing stalemate in Ukraine has raised questions, particularly when there are Americans still living in tents in North Carolina.
TRUMP'S FAMILY CIRCLE LOOKS DIFFERENT THIS TIME AROUND!
The incoming administration under President-elect Trump has pledged to swiftly negotiate an end to the Russia/Ukraine war. This promise has sparked widespread speculation about the future of Ukraine under the new administration. In a significant development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that an offer of NATO membership to territories under Kyiv's control could potentially end "the hot stage of the war."
GAVIN NEWSOM IS UP AGAINST A VERY BLOODY FIGHT!
However, NATO has traditionally refrained from admitting new member-states embroiled in ongoing conflicts. This policy is prudent, as the inclusion of Ukraine in NATO would instantly put all of NATO at war with Russia, as per treaty obligations. This is a scenario that neither party in the current conflict would want to consider.
In a related development, President Biden issued a memorandum authorizing Antony Blinken to disburse up to $63 million in assistance to Ukraine "without regard to any provision of law."
It remains unclear whether this sum is in addition to the previously announced $725 million. The delegation of authority was communicated via a press release from the White House Press Office.
THIS BLUE CITY WANTS TO HELP TRUMP WITH MASS DEPORTATIONS
The ongoing financial commitment to the conflict in Ukraine raises the question: When will it all end? How much more money will the U.S. pour into this stalemate? How far will we deplete our weapons stocks? Munition supplies are not infinite, and we are using munitions at a rate far exceeding our production capacity.
In the words of economist Herbert Stein, "If something cannot go on forever, it will stop." This situation must come to an end. The U.S. can no longer afford to sustain this level of financial commitment to the conflict in Ukraine.
