In another parting gift to America, President Joe Biden greenlighted $500 million more in military aid to Ukraine.

Less than two weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the Biden administration announced the security package which includes “missiles for fighter jets, support equipment for F-16s, armored bridging systems, small arms and ammunition and other spare parts and communications equipment,” according to Fox News.

“The weapons package is funded by the presidential drawdown authority (PDA), meaning the weapons will come from U.S. stockpiles, expediting their delivery to Ukraine,” the outlet added. “Officials noted this is the Biden administration’s seventy-fourth tranche of equipment to be provided from Defense Department inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.”

“If Putin swallows Ukraine, his appetite will only grow,” said Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin who met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

“If autocrats conclude that democracies will lose their nerve, surrender their interests, and forget their principles, we will only see more land grabs. If tyrants learn that aggression pays, we will only invite even more aggression, chaos, and war,” he added in his remarks Thursday.

“Retreat will only provide incentives for more imperial aggression,” Austin said. “And if we flinch, you can count on Putin to push further and punch harder. Ukraine’s survival is on the line. But so is the security of Europe, the United States, and the world.”

Zelenskyy urged the incoming Trump administration to continue to funnel taxpayer-funded aid to the war-torn country, declaring it would be “crazy to drop the ball now.”

“We’ve come such a long way that it would honestly be crazy to drop the ball now and not keep building on the defense coalitions we’ve created,” he said. “No matter what’s going on in the world, everyone wants to feel sure that their country will not just be erased off the map.”

Social media users reacted to the additional millions being shipped off to Ukraine as Americans face tragedies and disasters here at home.

On a day where Americans in Los Angeles are watching their homes, pets, and businesses burn—and could use some aid—the Biden administration is preparing to send another $500 million to Ukraine.

I love it when the Ukraine aid is so timely to happen at the same time as thousands of Americans are suffering. Really brings home the idea of how much this administration and Democrats care about the citizens of this country.

Biden finds a new way every day to give the middle finger to the American people.
