From the article cited in the OP - The White House has rejected the criticism, saying it has acted rapidly to provide more than $650 million in military assistance over the past year. Officials have also noted that President Donald Trump delayed a military aid package to Ukraine and never provided Stinger missiles or other air defenses, which require many months of training.Better late than never but WTF was the holdup? Ukraine needed these weapons on hand in the first day of the invasion. Now it may be too little too late and actually getting these weapons in theater is going to be extremely difficult.
“Ukraine has been asking for Javelin anti-tank weapons and Stinger missiles to shoot down aircraft.”
Biden approves $350 million in military aid for Ukraine
President Joe Biden instructed the U.S. State Department to release up to an additional $350 million worth of weapons from U.S. stocks to Ukraine on Friday as it struggles to repulse a Russian invasion.www.reuters.com
Still wondering what was the delay I did a little research and found it was because as usual Biden is a bumbling indecisive ****ing moron.
“Biden admin carefully examining legal issues around providing arms to Ukraine”
“Amid widespread calls to help Ukraineresist a Russian invasion, the Biden administration is carefully examining legal questions about whether the United States can provide certain weapons and intelligence, multiple Congressional officials briefed on the matter tell NBC News.
Biden administration officials insist the lawyering is part of a normal review process, while Republicans in Congress — and some Democrats — have complained that it is slowing down what should be an immediate effort to ramp up weapons deliveries to Ukrainian forces.”

A Republican congressional aide said there was bipartisan frustration with the pace of aid, but Biden admin officials said legal review was not slowing things down.www.nbcnews.com
seems people on the right want the US to be the first in to give aid to all these other countries but when it happens and we Have a DEM President they start getting up in arms about the debt and running that upFrom the article cited in the OP - The White House has rejected the criticism, saying it has acted rapidly to provide more than $650 million in military assistance over the past year.

Democrats counter that given Trump’s record on Ukraine — he was impeached for delaying a lethal aid package for personal political reasons — Republicans have no leg to stand on in this debate.
No holdup under the Biden administration. But if you want it under the trump administration, if Ukraine needed military aid to protect itself...Better late than never but WTF was the holdup?
Russia wasn’t invading when Trump was president so your “but Trump “ response falls on its face.From the article cited in the OP - The White House has rejected the criticism, saying it has acted rapidly to provide more than $650 million in military assistance over the past year.

Republicans wanted us to drop our allies and ally with Russia. So the bullshit they say now should be take with all the salt one can find.“Republicans in Congress — and some Democrats — have complained that it is slowing down what should be an immediate effort to ramp up weapons deliveries to Ukrainian forces.”
Poor attempt to derail the thread and divert attention from the fact that Biden acted as indecisively in Ukraine as he did in Afghanistan. I hope the Stingers get into the right hands and I hope it’s not too late.Republicans wanted us to drop our allies and ally with Russia.

All just more right wing lies.Poor attempt to derail the thread and divert attention from the fact that Biden acted as indecisively in Ukraine as he did in Afghanistan.
Why would YOU want that? Oh that's right. You are FOR Ukraine now. Hard to keep track of your whiplash loyalties.I hope the Stingers get into the right hands and I hope it’s not too late.

His aid is within the same timeframe as other nations…Poor attempt to derail the thread and divert attention from the fact that Biden acted as indecisively in Ukraine as he did in Afghanistan. I hope the Stingers get into the right hands and I hope it’s not too late.
Russia wasn’t massing troops on the border like during the China Joe presidency (also known as the mistake) during the miracle years of Trump so that argument is just loaded with C R A P.From the article cited in the OP - The White House has rejected the criticism, saying it has acted rapidly to provide more than $650 million in military assistance over the past year.

A pivotal 3 days which could have put Stingers into Ukraine fighters hands. Three days lawyers discussed as Russian helicopters flew.That was
That was a long 3 days.
It felt like WWII.
Which is evidence Biden isn’t a world leader, he just follows the crowd .His aid is within the same timeframe as other nations…
Far from indecisive
And yet 3 days.A pivotal 3 days which could have put Stingers into Ukraine fighters hands. Three days lawyers discussed as Russian helicopters flew.
What part of “acting decisively “ confuses you? It was no time for lawyers it was time for action.And yet 3 days.
But you go on hating and attacking your political opponents while the allies strategized and planned.
Perhaps you think this invasion was something Putin planned just a few months ago? Hardly. He used his puppet, Trump, to attack NATO for 4 years while he built up his war chest to partially offset American sanctions. He used Trump and Rudy to weaken Ukraine by withholding aid while they bribed the Ukrainian president to obtain dirt on a political opponent. Putin used your Dear Leader to soften up Ukraine and NATO in preparation for this invasion. Too bad, for Putin and Trump, that it didn't hold up.Russia wasn’t massing troops on the border like during the China Joe presidency (also known as the mistake) during the miracle years of Trump so that argument is just loaded with C R A P.
comrade, from your linkBetter late than never but WTF was the holdup? Ukraine needed these weapons on hand in the first day of the invasion. Now it may be too little too late and actually getting these weapons in theater is going to be extremely difficult.

Ukraine needed Stingers. Biden vacillated for weeks as Putin massed forces along the border. After Russia actually invaded Biden decided to send Stingers and that was after he had lawyers discuss it for three critical days.Yea comrade @Chainsawmassacre, this is not hard stuff to find. From December
