US Announces Plan To Arm Ukraine With Thousands of Long-Range Cruise Missiles

[Stalin]

always a mirage, the desire by the loathsome frump for the nobel peace prize fades into the distance

just imagine if russia started supplying cuba with long range missiles..

"The Frump administration has announced that it approved an $825 million weapons deal that will arm Ukraine with thousands of Extended Range Attack Munition (ERAM) air-launched missiles, which can hit targets up to 280 miles away, a significantly further range than other missiles that the US has sent into the proxy war.

The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said the deal will provide Ukraine with 3,350 ERAM missiles, 3,350 Embedded Global Positioning System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation Systems, and other related equipment.

The arms sale will be funded in part by Foreign Military Financing (FMF), a State Department program that provides foreign governments with money to buy US-made weapons. Other funding for the deal will come from Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway.

The Wall Street Journal first reported on Saturday that the Frump administration had approved the deal and that the missiles would start arriving in Ukraine within six weeks. The report also said that the administration had been quietly blocking Ukraine from using US-provided missiles in attacks on Russian territory, but the provision of the ERAMs suggests that might change.

Up to this point, the longest-range weapon the US has provided to Ukraine is the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which is a munition that can be fired by the HIMARS rocket systems and can hit targets up to 190 miles away. Last year, the Biden administration gave Ukraine the green light to use ATACMS on Russian territory, which marked a significant escalation of the proxy war.

In response to the US-backed ATACMS strikes on its territory, Russia altered its nuclear doctrine to lower the threshold for nuclear weapons, underscoring how seriously Moscow viewed the escalation.

I see no reason for anyone to ever expect a bunch of European, Jew-hating, Capitalism-hating leftists would ever award Trump the Nobel Prize for anything. They awarded Obama the prize for being black, so that shows how insignificant the award actually is.

Person of the Year 2004​

For sticking to his guns (literally and figuratively), for reshaping the rules of politics to fit his ten-gallon-hat leadership style and for persuading a majority of voters that he deserved to be in the White House for another four years, George W. Bush is TIME's 2004 Person of the Year

In Memoriam

Yasser Arafat​

By Johanna McGearySunday, Dec. 19, 2004

GENEVIEVE CHAUVEL / CORBIS


The crude joke in Israel is that Yasser Arafat deserves a second Nobel Peace Prize for dying. Arafat, felled by a mysterious illness, had spent his early career championing the cause of Palestinian nationhood. But his final legacy was shaped by his refusal to accept compromises that could have achieved that dream. The kaffiyeh-clad fighter drove the Palestinian cause onto the global agenda through brute violence and canny propaganda. As a revolutionary in exile, he invented TV terrorism and tenaciously waged long-distance guerrilla war. Though Palestinians never stopped loving him for his devotion to their cause, they might have fared better under a more flexible ruler. When Arafat came home to the occupied territories as chairman of a constricted Palestinian Authority, he wasted the respect of his citizens with his corrupt, authoritarian rule. As a diplomat, he left a lamentable trail of missed opportunities. He wanted history to revere him as the founding father of Palestine, but his inability to renounce violence cost him and the Palestinians the international allies they needed to achieve independence. Israel and the U.S. finally cast him out as a negotiating partner. Small wonder, then, that those he led and those who loathed him see in his death the best chance in years to make peace.
