The United States will provide $1.85 billion in additional military assistance for Ukraine, including a transfer of the Patriot Air Defense System, President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday. The announcement came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington to meet Biden and address Congress on his first known overseas trip since Russia invaded Ukraine 300 days ago. The Patriot system is "a defensive system, it's not escalatory, it's defensive" Biden said in a joint news briefing with Zelensky. "We'd love not to have them used, just stop the attacks," Biden added.

That probably means US personnel will be actively in the conflict in order to support this system. Weapons like these take many months at the minimum to make effective, so they typically have foreign advisers helping to operate them until the supported country develops sufficient profiniency with them.

What happened to all the billions the US already gave them? Where’s the accountability in all of the tax dollars that Bribem keeps tossing around like he’s got an unlimited amount of our money? And better still, whose pockets get lined when tax payer money like this goes out?

We need accountability from the Dems and their incessant spending at our expense!
