@dandcaldwell But this is not “The Cold War”. In 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine (a sovereign nation). In 1994 Ukraine signed an agreement to give up its nuclear weapons, Russia, USA and UK  agreed to protect Ukraine. Russia always breaks agreements but is that an excuse for us to do the same?

@katha1502 «More for Ukraine.
More money.
More weapons.
More Taurus.»
So that is what you think will help your kids get safer future? By sending others’ kids to die? There’s no hybrid war, there is warmongers propaganda. The only terrorist act in EU was done by Ukrainians

Over the next two years, Ukraine is set to receive $800 million in U.S. assistance.

The U.S. Congress has released a draft $900 billion defense budget, which allocates $400 million per year for Ukraine in fiscal years 2026 and 2027.

If the NDAA passes, Ukraine will have to rely primarily on European financial and military support, as $400 million a year is far from sufficient for a war of this scale.

For comparison: Ukrainian journalists calculated that Russia spent $1.3 billion on a single massive missile strike on August 26, 2024. On average, Russian missile and drone attacks cost $100-200 million each.

The bill also requires more frequent reporting on how U.S. allies contribute to supporting Ukraine.

Beyond Ukraine aid, the NDAA includes major defense priorities:

– Acceleration of military drone production
– Missile defense reform and the creation of the multi-layered Golden Dome system
-Expanded use of the U.S. military along the southern border under several presidential directives
-A tougher stance toward China, including new investment restrictions, bans on certain Chinese technologies in Pentagon supply chains, and enhanced diplomatic and intelligence efforts to monitor China’s global presence.

Congress is expected to begin voting on the bill later this week.
