Peace advocates have expressed concerns that weapons transfers from the West will draw out Russia’s war while enriching arms-makers.
That's... that's literally the point.
"The White House's decision also came after the Pentagon earlier on Wednesday convened a classified meeting of some of the largest arms-makers in the United States to discuss ramping up weapons shipments."
Welcome to the Goody Room!
oh to be a freak accident involving the detonation of a grenade in the goody room on the wall in that room
Genuine question: Who has killed more Ukranians, Zelenky's government or Putin's?
Motherfucker still owes each of us $500 and he's sending it to Ukrainian nazis?
Even if I was still a lib who believed in any of this shit I'd be getting pissed off
Ironically the chuds are right about foreign aid for all the wrong reasons
None of the aid is actually helping people, even before the 'lethal aid' euphemism it was always just weapons for fascists to murder the poor
America First is a stupid fascist slogan which represents everything I hate but I can understand why garbage like that is popular, how do we get our own version of that?
Obviously 'patriotic socialism' in :amerikkka: is about as fucking stupid as national socialism but how fucking hard can it really be to figure out the right words to get enough people angry about how the rich assholes in our country keep giving away what could be all of ours?
I really fucking hate the 2 party system, it works perfectly to prevent anything good from ever happening
Do Europeans not care about this or is American media just ignoring them? They flipped shit and went fascist over migrants trickling in from Syria - what happens when there's another Syria much closer to Europe? Will Poland, Lithuania, etc still think "it's okay to let them in because they're white" ten years from now? What about when the weapons start flowing in and someone takes out a passenger jet with a Javelin?
Europe doesn't care since they can pass their old shitty weapons for way more than it's worth to Ukraine as well.
Is it just me or is that...not that many weapons? Like its a lot, to be sure, but not even a billion?
I assume it's purely political pre-election theater. Biden can milk each and every payment in its media cycle as "vital" aid to Ukraine.
