I agree with Russia, this is a ridiculous thing to do. Why are we pushing for war?
"Russia has reacted fiercely to the end of week breaking news that President Trump plans to approve the legal sale of US antitank missiles and possibly other advanced systems to the Ukrainian government in a move that could change the battlefield calculus of the war between Ukrainian and Russian-aligned forces in the Donbass region along the Russian border. ABC News described the "total defense package of $47 million includes the sale of 210 anti-tank missiles and 35 launchers" which will be sure to harm Trump's longtime stated goal of improving relations with Moscow.
Though Kiev has long had limited access to US lethal arms through private contracts with American and international arms producers, this represents a significant escalation involving the likelihood that advanced US systems would be used directly on Russian-aligned militias in the eastern Donbass region and potentially Russian forces along the border. Up until now, the White House has been reluctant to escalate the war so openly, as it did when it supplied anti-Assad fighters in Syria with sophisticated TOW anti-tank missiles.
While the US State Department claims the move is "defensive" in nature, Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov charged the US with deliberately "crossing the line" and pushing the Ukrainian authorities "towards new bloodshed," adding that "American weapons can lead to new victims""

clowns in america are desperately trying to get something, anything going. it's getting hot in the kitchen, especially since hell has frozen over along with several funding foundation[s]
Agreed, the neocons in the US want war to grab even more power and they're pushing Russia and China right now. I think soon Russia and China might push back though. Bad for everyone everywhere.
Crossing the Delaware today, could point to some turning point. recommend higher SA during this holiday season.
I don't think its about power anymore. Its about survival. the clowns and their friends are trapped and if they don't get out by any means necessary, they won't make it. If bad things are going to happen, it'll have to be soon. Really soon.
I got my eyes open too.
