U.S. Suspends Military Aid to Ukraine
<p>"We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding," John Kirby said.</p>
"We have issued the last package that we had withdrawn and for which we had funding," John Kirby said. White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing Thursday that "the assistance we were providing has come to a halt."
The White House official also said it is very important that Congress continues to approve the allocation of money to Ukraine. He stressed that Kiev needs help more urgently during the winter period.

No more military aid until Ukraine is willing to let the aid be properly tracked or vetted.
Insurgency and terrorist groups are goint to wind up with a lot of this equipment. See the middle east and other areas for examples.

This is not why the aid is being withheld. Idk what kind of fallacy this is but its a pretty disgusting one.
Where did I say this is the reason why its being withheld currently by Republicans?
I posted why I don't want to continue providing funding and supplies in the way we have been.
You posted something that doesn't matter at all. Why don't you post about the actual topic?
You support republicans helping Russia unless Biden caves on treating asylum seakers as animals.
I said nothing about asylum seekers nor Republicans.
Yes exactly, pure bad faith. How about we talk about the actual reason the Ukraine Aid is being held?
your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith.
The aid is being withheld so that Biden starts treating asylum seekers horrendously. You talking about something unrelated as cover for this desired horrific republican policy is not great to see on this website.
you don't know who you're talking to.
What nonsense. These other places are not in an existential war.
Will some if it get stolen.. probably.
Does Ukraine have Every incentive to prevent, minimize and hunt down anyone slightly even thinking of depriving their military of needed stuff.. ofcourse.
Properly track what? Did they expect recital from frontline soldiers after firing a 155 or a javelin?
Existential war for who? Its not for me or my neighbors. I feel for the people of Ukraine, but I don't understand why suddenly the left is so hawkish to remain the world police. Where is your energy for every other conflict that happens?
Yes, other aid we give has logistics tracking munitions like javelins... That's why we requested it from Ukraine.
If their situation is so dire, why are they in a position to reject basic record keeping requests?

You're being downvoted, but this sounds pretty fair to me.
He's being downvoted because this is not why the aid is being withheld by republicans.
Unfortunately this instance is an echo chamber and the hive mind has already decided to blindly fund them no matter what.
Ukraine has notable corruption problems and they actively reject our requests for inventory management while also doubling down on their demands for aid.
I support Ukraine's right to sovereignty and defense. But that doesn't mean we must sign up for a blank check and a complete lack of basic accountability.
