An aid package scheduled for Ukraine later this month will be the final one unless Congress approves additional help, the White House warned Monday.

While aid provided to Ukraine thus far has been essential in resisting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the country “still needs our help,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday.

He pointed toward a letter to Congress from the comptroller of the Department of Defense, Mike McCord, warning the department had fully allocated all remaining funding under the department’s replenishment authority earmarked for Ukraine.

“We are still planning one more aid package to Ukraine later this month. However, when that one’s done, as the comptroller Mr. McCord made clear in his note to Congress today, we will have no more replenishment authority available to us, and we’re going to need Congress to act without delay, as we have been saying,” Kirby said.

    How will they make you scared and obedient if the ancient enemy is defeated? They’ll have to make up alien invasions or some shit if Russia loses too hard.

        And immigrants, and trans people, and “demon rats”

        The issue isn’t lack of boogeymen, the issue is a bunch of greedy fucks acting against American interests to get dark money and other favors from Trump’s mob boss Putin.

      Is there a tipping point? Does there exist a state in which the average person is so exhausted from the constant aggitation of the two-prong attack of government and corporate manipulation? Where it is far better to tear it all down than risk another lie being uttered into the hearts of the vulnerable? Because I’ve hit that point. Nobody asked my permission to arrange my world in a way where my mind is under 24/7 assault.

      Russia is their role-model now, and their master, not their enemy. They’re pretty open about it.
