As has been said: there's a chasm b/w a carte blanche check book and complete cutoff. But I don't expect you to comprehend anything other than the binary.
Hey, maybe if the admin didn't shut down the bipartisan movement to name Russia terrorists, it'd be easier to keep funding.

And now add rocket launcher orders.

WARSAW, Poland -- Poland signed a deal Wednesday to buy hundreds of South Korean multiple rocket launchers amid efforts to step up the nation's defenses in light of the war in neighboring Ukraine.
Deputy Prime Minister Mariusz Blaszczak, who also is Poland's defense minister, said the K239 Chunmoo systems are comparable to the American-made HIMARS launchers, a number of which Poland is also acquiring.
Blaszczak said Poland cannot get as many HIMARS as it would like in a short time so turned to the “tested partner, our friends” in South Korea for the purchase of 288 Chunmoo launchers, which he described as a “very good, well-tested weapon.”
South Korea's defense minister, Lt. Gen. Lee Jong-sup, said the deal raises cooperation between the two nations to new levels.
In July and September, Poland signed deals for billions of dollars worth of tanks, howitzers and fighter planes from South Korea. Delivery of the tanks and howitzers has started, according to Blaszczak.
The mobile rocket launchers are expected to be delivered starting next year and will be installed on Polish-made Jelcz trucks."

Up the river from Kherson.



"After the Ukrainians asked not to report on what happened in Kherson 48 hours ago, Russian reports began to arrive this morning about a significant Ukrainian attack towards Breslav. The mood on the Russian side, at least according to the messages on Telegram, is not whether they will be defeated in Harson, but how quickly."

It's been rather quiet with news so their blackout is pretty effective. You just know there is some big time shit happening or about to happen with a counteroffensive...

Hard not to feel sorry for those guys if they are newly mobilized dudes thrown into pain and death.

Also, this has all the makings of a fun phone game app.

The US needs to tell Israel to man up. If they want our continued unfettered support in their area, then they need to transfer the weapons they want. As piss poor as they've seen Russia's response been, the US and Israel's army (Probably even without our need) can easily take care of any Russian response.

Israel is only 2/3rds of the way done deploying Iron Dome 10 of 15 batteries deployed) and they live under fire.

Why should they put their citizens at risk over Ukraine?

I understand Germany can spare some AAA assets, they’re not under fire and frankly have the American umbrella to count on.

Israel has Israel to count on.
That doesn’t make any sense to deride them when they have valid security concerns of their own.

You should be concerned that Rand Paul is a Russian asset.

Anything and everything he says is in service to Vladimir Putin.

I imagine there was much calculation as to whether to force the Russian army to survive winter or blast them now.

Perhaps the increase in civilians being bombed changed the plan?

And given the scary prediction from Kevin McCarthy, now seems to be the preference.
