Biden’s Bling-Bling Diplomacy: Ships 500 Million Dollars Worth of Metal Monsters to Ukraine!

  The Biden government confirmed its decision to deploy up to $500 million in military assistance to Ukraine this Tuesday, a move set to include over 50 heavily fortified vehicles and an impressive supply of air defense system missiles. This support follows an unexpected insurrection in Russia over the weekend. It is seen as an effort to encourage Ukraine’s counteroffensive, which, until now, has been sluggish in its initial phases.

   This marks the 41st occasion since the onset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 that the United States, under the authorization of the President, has made substantial provisions of military equipment and weaponry from its reserves for Ukraine. The expedited delivery process under this program underscores the U.S.’s unwavering commitment to its Eastern European ally.

   Though these aid packages typically follow a premeditated design and have recently comprised several essential armaments for frontline combat, it is unlikely that the choice of contents was influenced by the recent uprising led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner mercenary group. The question remains whether the Ukrainian forces can capitalize on the resulting chaos in the Russian ranks post this fleeting revolt.

   Nonetheless, the incoming shipment of missiles and heavy-duty vehicles could potentially be leveraged by Ukraine as it attempts to exploit the escalating rift between the head of the Wagner Group and the Russian military hierarchy. The extent to which Prigozhin’s mercenaries might withdraw from the conflict remains a topic of speculation.

   Interestingly, these mercenaries had withdrawn from Ukraine to overtake a military headquarters in a southern Russian city. They journeyed hundreds of miles towards Moscow, only to retreat after a mere 24 hours last Saturday.

   A statement from the Pentagon has detailed that the U.S. plans to dispatch 30 Bradley Fighting Vehicles and 25 armored Stryker vehicles to Ukraine. Additional military support includes missiles for the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and the Patriot air defense systems, Javelin and high-speed anti-radiation (HARM) missiles, demolition weaponry, and other artillery rounds and ammunition varieties.

   The White House principal deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton stated that the new package contains “key capabilities” to enhance Ukraine’s counteroffensive operations and fortify its air defenses.

   The Pentagon reported that since the Russian invasion, the U.S. had delivered over $15 billion worth of weaponry and equipment to Ukraine, with an additional $6.2 billion in unidentified supplies yet to be sent. The extra amount of over $6 billion resulted from an accounting mistake, as the military had overestimated the worth of the weaponry it shipped to Ukraine during the past year.

   Beyond this immediate support, the U.S. has also committed to providing over $16.7 billion in long-term funding for various weapons, training, and other equipment through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and nearly $2 billion more in foreign military financing.

   The U.S. still holds $1.2 billion in uncommitted drawdown authority, which will lapse at the end of this fiscal year on Sept. 30. Meanwhile, the remaining $1.9 billion in USAI funds is set to expire only at the end of the next fiscal year, in September 2024.

What Do You Yearn For?

I was tagged by the wonderful @corvosattano and @voidika to take this uquiz for some of the kiddos. Thank you! 💜

Tagging @playstationmademe @nightwingshero @nightbloodraelle @detectivelokis @jinfromyarikawa @baldurrs @phillipsgraves @leviiackrman @carterrogerz @shegetsburned @pricescigar @cameoninja @chuckhansen @chazz-anova and anyone else that wants to do it!!

for someone, something. their shadow follows you wherever you go

you yearn for a soulmate, or an equivalent. something life changing and earth shattering, that will make your world feel like it's finally right. like the final piece in a puzzle. your need for something to fill this void is so consuming that it often blinds you from the people who are already in your life, and causes you to hurt them without fully realizing it. you are not a selfish person by any means, but sometimes you take things from granted. chasing shadows will rarely lead you to anywhere good.

Note: This fits Skylar so much, especially before she met Tachanka. He really was that final puzzle piece.

to be heard, to leave behind a legacy

you yearn for recognition, to be known for your talents and creations. you tend to feel like an outsider, like the world separates you from the rest of humanity with a glass wall. you peer in and wish you could join them, but they can never understand you, let alone hear you. you are passionate and full of love to give, but something is holding you back--it's you. you're holding yourself back. why are you so afraid of taking the jump? you'll never be remembered if you stay silent. you're letting yourself be forgotten.

Note: 'You yearn for recognition'. Yeah that's Liz 100%.

to be good, to take hurt and see it as hope

you yearn to bear the weight of the world's hurt on your shoulders. you have made decisions that you aren't proud of and sometimes they fill you with so much guilt and regret that it feels like you can't breathe. but you are also optimistic, and time has taught you many things. to fix your wrongs, you want to do good, to be good. your hurt and pain isn't all suffering, you have learned to see it for what it can be: hope.

Note: I was going to say this doesn't really fit her, but with what she has to go through. Yeah it does.

to understand the world, to run up the hill

you yearn to understand the world, to understand the other side. you find that many of your relationships with your loved ones is affected by your unwillingness to give parts of yourself when you ask for vulnerability and openness on their part. you want everything that life can give you, all of its knowledge and pain and flaws-- you want to experience them like they're for your taking without realizing the repercussions of your actions. it isn't right to burn yourself to keep others warm, but it's just as wrong to ask others to burn for you.

to be forgiven, for them to stay

you yearn to be forgiven for the hurt you've caused others and you want nothing more than for them to stay. but it seems that the universe does not look kindly upon you, and they always leave, no matter how hard you try. but you've learned by now that it's a hopeless endeavor. you know that some of the things you've done were no fault but your own and therein lies the problem. how can you ask for forgiveness when you can't even forgive yourself?

Note: Tbh she doesn't want to be forgiven, she did what she did bc she thought it was the right thing to do. And she doesn't regret it.

the baby shower was a semi success...

Lumusi was relieved at how little she needed to perform at the baby shower, everyone was very focused on the baby and not their relationship. Thinking about the baby made Lumusi's heart soften toward Camille.

But only therapy and time would tell...

Camille felt nervous about seeing her family because they were very perceptive. But no one shared any looks or whispers, everyone was excited about another baby joining the family, after Carolyn gave birth to Miley earlier this month.

Camille wanted the animosity to stop, but she knew all she could do was hope and apologize profusely. Lumusi kept encouraging Camille to go to individual therapy as well as couple therapy. If that's what it takes to get things back on track, Camille's down for anything.
