WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time since Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin established the international group to support Ukraine in April 2022, the United States is hosting the monthly gathering of about 50 countries out of money, unable to send the ammunition and missiles that Ukraine needs to fend off Russia’s invasion.
While waiting for Congress to pass a budget and potentially approve more money for Ukraine’s fight, the U.S. will be looking to allies to keep bridging the gap.
“I urge this group to dig deep to provide Ukraine with more lifesaving ground-based air defense systems and interceptors,” Austin said in opening remarks broadcast from his home, where he is still recuperating after prostate cancer surgery. The opening statement by video was the first public appearance from Austin, 70, who appeared slightly gaunt. Austin was hospitalized for two weeks after complications from the surgery.
On Tuesday in Brussels, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced a new $1.2 billion joint contract to buy more than 222,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition. The rounds are some of the most heavily used munitions in this conflict, and the contract will be used to backfill allies that have pushed their own reserves to Kyiv.

Believe it or not there are some leftists that support Ukraine and want much less immigration as well.
Its crazy, but on that one issue alone, trump might get elected.

>>1259866 >Its crazy, but on that one issue alone, trump might get elected. Nah. It'll be the economy and inflation. Nobody really cares about immigration, not even conservatives. Its a wedge issue that comes up every election cycle but, ultimately, its not at the top of people's lists. Even when Trump was in office he passed 0 immigration legislation and all he did was lower legal immigration, not illegal immigration. Republicans had the house and senate for half of Trump's presidency and drafted 0 pieces of immigration reform yet their voter base remained intact. Clearly, they don't really care about immigration and neither do their voters.

>>1259893 Yeah pretty much this
I totally memory holed all the fighting trump did with Democrats in legislature, the endless lawsuits democrats used to block trumps policies, and the national emergency trump declared and the military he sent to secure the southern border.
I mean, it feels like a fever dream how thinking about how he was using the military to block illegal aliens from crossing the border and democrats were accusing him of war crimes for it.
Of course, it's all memory holed now amongst the low IQ npc population that is the democrat constituency, you probably have no idea about any of this

>>1259881 I know you're just here to sow as much division as possible but the vast majority are level headed about these issues, so um, fuck off.
>>1259893 Quite true, but the rhetoric right now and the housing crises might spur a few centrists to the right for a while.

>>1259896 >I totally memory holed all the fighting trump did with Democrats in legislature Trump and the Republicans held complete control of the house and senate for 2 years and did nothing. 0 pieces of legislation. They didn't even pretend to. They didn't even symbolically introduce legislation in the house and bait Democrats into voting against it. They drafted nothing.
>the endless lawsuits democrats used to block trumps policies He produced no policy. All he did was pass a bunch of flimsy EOs without drafting a single piece of legislation.
>and the national emergency trump declared and the military he sent to secure the southern border That's because he was incapable of rallying congress on a single piece of legislation. I'm actually quite impressed by the absolute cucked mindset you people have adopted in the wake of Trump. This guy literally sold himself as a businessman. The king of making deals. He said over and over again on the campaign trail that he was going to hire the best people and make the most deals and what happened? Nothing. He proposed zero immigration reform. Zero infrastructure. Zero repeal and replace of Obamacare. Its so funny how rabid you people are to defend Trump's complete incompetence and inability to get anything passed - as if "well the other side was mean to me!" is a good excuse for completely failing to lead as the president of the United States.

>>1259898 >Quite true, but the rhetoric right now and the housing crises might spur a few centrists to the right for a while. Doubt it. Inflation is cooling off, interest rates are falling, housing costs will fall just like they always do when the market gets overheated and the seller's frenzy wears off. There is zero data out there whatsoever to indicate that centrists are at all prone to vote for Trump. In fact, it all shows the exact opposite. Trump could teach a masterclass on alienating everyone but hardcore loyalists.

>>1259904 Just as there are "never Trumpers" I believe there are 1 policy voters and its a little naive to think housing (especially for first time voters) isnt going to factor in. They may pin more of their hopes with housing/immigration on the GOP (which Trump has owned for a while) than Biden.
To be clear, IMO, its still a small demographic, the country is beyond polarized...

Are you actually that much of an NPC? Did you *actually* memory hole all of this or are you just purposefully lying?
I can refresh your memory if you are actually a memory holed npc

They drafted nothing I'm just going to assume by your silence that you are a memory holed npc and simply have selective memory. It's not your fault. You have a simple mind and get emotional, and are easily swayed by DNC talking points.
Nobody would lie online, right?
