The Biden administration announced on Monday a new lethal aid package for Ukraine totaling about $1.7 billion and largely consisting of missiles and ammunition for missile, artillery and air defense systems the US has previously provided to Ukraine.
The US is committing $1.5 billion in new weapons and equipment to Ukraine through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which will include “capabilities to augment Ukraine’s air defenses, fires, and anti-tank weapons, as well as funding to sustain equipment previously committed by the United States,” according to a Defense Department news release.
The Defense Department is also sending Ukraine up to $200 million worth of weapons and equipment directly from US Department of Defense stockpiles via Presidential Drawdown Authority, which includes “air defense interceptors; munitions for rocket systems and artillery; and anti-tank weapons,” according to the news release.
This is a joke, right?
Explain the joke
The new(ish) owner (David Zaslav) of CNN is friends with righties (John Malone) and is quoted saying they hired a guy to “Push CNN back to hard news and away from red-hot liberal opining”.
Sus.
Has there been evidence of this happening?
I don’t have examples of CNN having run garbage but i have heard of it happening.
Take that for what you will.
Makes sense. Something to definitely watch out for, but not necessarily something that has already happened.
For one, CNN has a history of firing / cutting ties with anyone that is pro-Palestine (not even anti-Israel, just anyone who simply doesn’t want people in Gaza and the West Bank to die).
What joke?
