Emergency weapons package from the US. It's comparatively small, but better than nothing.

quote:

WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) - The United States is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine that could be worth as much as $400 million, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday, the first such move in months as additional funds for Kyiv remain blocked by Republican leaders in Congress.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an announcement was expected later on Tuesday.

One of the officials said that the funding for this package is from credits refunded to the Pentagon for recent purchases.

U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat, has backed military aid to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022, while his likely Republican opponent in the Nov. 5 U.S. election, former president Donald Trump, has a more isolationist stance.

The House is under pressure to pass a $95 billion national security package that bolsters aid for Ukraine, Israel as well as the Indo-Pacific.

That legislation cleared the Senate on a 70-29 vote, but Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson has resisted putting up the aid bill for a vote in the House.

If you read the Wikipedia page on a list of animals receiving combat awards you’ll be stunned at the incredible bravery of pigeons, the #1 most awarded species by far. They crave warfare and know no fear even when shot up and half lit on fire. I’d never dismiss an enlisted pigeon as a reject.

There is a lack of accountability in American politics. Much like how American society tolerated suspicions of child molestation in the Boy Scouts and the Catholic Church and accepted sexual harassment in the workplace until the #Metoo movement, so too does there exist in our politics an acceptable culture of lying.

It’s reached dangerous criminal levels in the Republican Party (a domestic terrorist organization).

Belgorod is currently being sieged by Russia freedom federation as are half dozen border towns. Rebel Control isn't fully established yet in some. In others yes. Voronezh and Oryol oil depots were hit earlier and caused big explosions and following dark clouds. Well it's impossible to confirm but this may be part of the general uprising of the Russian freedom group. The reason I surmise these attacks could be synchronized is the sky when it becomes thick with smoke is difficult for air assets to operate in. And with its close proximity to the bell garage region but we could be seeing a far more organized attempt at actually carving out a little piece of said region. More time will tell. But things are definitely picking up in the Russian border area in the bell good on the region.

In other news Russia has swung back into the close to 1000 person casualty levels that we haven't seen in a couple months with the average day being around 600. We saw a casualty rates like this around the time the battle of bakamut was occurring. Which tells me that Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia is launching many offensives and losing
