The U.S. will send Ukraine an undisclosed number of medium-range cluster bombs and an array of rockets, artillery and armored vehicles in a military aid package totaling about $375 million, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

Officials expect an announcement on Wednesday, as global leaders meet at the U.N. General Assembly, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy uses his appearance there to shore up support and persuade the U.S. to allow his troops to use long-range weapon s to strike deeper into Russia. The following day, Zelenskyy meets with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington.

    Please provide evidence for this supposed fact.

    https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rosiegray/top-us-diplomat-fuck-the-eu

    Here’s an article that you’ve already had linked to you a thousand times you may hopefully incorporate into your worldview a decade later. The scandal here is that the US is hand picking their preferred puppet leader instead of letting the EU have a say.

    Also, Putin doesn’t call it a proxy state

    He did in his speech explaining why Russia invaded that I’m absolutely not shocked that you haven’t read or listened to.

      That’s an article from 2014. You might have missed a couple of administrations. Would you like to go back further? What did Eisenhower’s top diplomat have to say about things?

      And Putin also said it was the homeland of the Russian people, and I’m absolutely not shocked that you’re not acknowledging that.

        To assert the premise that Ukraine is a US puppet I linked you a news article about US diplomats hand picking their leader and you say it’s disqualified because it’s an article from when it happened.

        You’re just a profoundly unserious person.

          I’m saying it’s an article about a U.S. administration that hasn’t been in power in a decade. You do understand that there’s a whole new government every few years, yes?

          Also, you have yet to acknowledge what Putin said, so your insult (which is against our community rules and I advise you not to do it again) about me not being serious is a bit odd.

            So you just go around acting like a condescending asshole while you say the dumbest shit possible, then threaten people when you get pushback, huh?

            The shithole community you’ve cultivated is downstream of your own personal failings.
