The U.S. will send Ukraine the full $6 billion in outstanding military aid before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said at a briefing on Nov. 7.

Previously, Politico reported that U.S. President Joe Biden was rushing to deliver the remaining $6 billion by the end of his term out of fear that a Trump administration might halt weapons shipments to Ukraine.

Ukraine will receive $4 billion under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which pulls weapons from U.S. stocks, and $2 billion from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Singh told reporters.

    Are you also relying on Europe to get its shit together when it comes to climate change? I think you still don’t understand how fucked the world is because US citizens did not get their shit together and voted for Trump.

        Neither do I, because the US citizens elected Trump, who will both betray our friends in Ukraine and withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. These are just two of his future misdeeds, which are completely foreseeable. Thank you dear allies from the US, you are really very helpful.

      Actually, no. We’re already fucked. You’re fucked the same as the US no matter how much you want to feel superior. We’ve been past the point of no return for over a decade. Don’t act like you’re innocent. I mean, c’mon. You guys invented capitalism and colonialism. Europe invented pollution. Go fuck yourself.

        I’m not saying that European climate policy in recent decades hasn’t also been disastrous. I’m just tired of reading these whataboutism comments that try to shift the blame somewhere else instead of simply admitting responsibility for one’s own actions and decisions. This isn’t about national pride, which I generally consider to be dull-witted by the way, but about a future worth living.
