WASHINGTON ― U.S. President Joe Biden announced Thursday he will send $800 million more in military aid to help Ukraine, adding that as his authority to draw from U.S. military stockpiles surpasses $3 billion, he will need to ask Congress for more funding.
“Combined with our recent drawdowns, it will ensure a steady flow of weapons and equipment into Ukraine over the next few weeks. However, with this latest disbursement, I’ve almost exhausted the drawdown authority I have, that Congress authorized for Ukraine,” Biden said in an address at the White House. “Next week, I’m going to have to be sending to Congress a supplemental budget request to keep weapons and ammunition flowing without interruption.”

But he's too wimpy to give main battle tanks to Ukraine! The Germans were not too wimpy and you thought they were all in the pocket of Vladimir Putin!

Isn't Germany still buying Russian oil?
I'll answer that....yes, they are.
I don't buy into the "pocket of Vladimir Putin" crap. That's just noise. Besides, if we looked into Vladimir's pocket, we'd still find Hillary and Bill in there somewhere with our uranium.

I am waiting for the Durham report. Notice that the attorney for Hillary Clinton who put the information to the FBI wants to exclude the tweets that were put out by Hillary Clinton and him saying that they discovered a secret connection to Donald Trump and a Russian Bank. With Twitter going to Elon Musk, they won't be able to keep it quiet much longer and Democrats are nervous.

Why are we giving them so much money when countries in Europe are giving them so little? We've given them more than every other entity that contributed to the effort, combined. Before the invasion, out of all the money Ukraine was receiving in foreign aid, one third came from the US.

European countries are giving plenty, its just not advertised and when it is its often way after the fact, here's a most recent announcement https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-04-20/germany-to-provide-ukraine-with-rockets-training-for-artillery
Your comments sound more like what we hear from the Republican anti support group in Congress.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Plenty? Well, "plenty" is subjective, so I don't think it's near enough compared to what we're giving.
Don't care about Germany's rocket training. They're still buying Russian oil so they can shove their training up their ass.
My comments? Since when is it a bad thing to question what our government is doing with our money and to question why we are giving so much and Europe is giving so little?

Which country has given the most money to Ukraine?
Lots of nations have donated funds to Ukraine since the war began, but which has given the most? #EuropeDecoded

Sgt (Join to see) You're giving the same BS excuses that 45 gave about why we needed to get out of NATO. There are so many more things besides physical money that go into why things are the way they are. Nothing at all wrong with questioning what our country is doing with our money, but it is totally naive to say another country isn't doing its part because they aren't giving the same amounts of money.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I'm not talking about the same amount. We all know how NATO works and what percentage each country is supposed to be providing in funding. Trump wanted them to pay their "fair share," the amount they agreed to pay, instead of the US always footing the bill. There's nothing wrong with that.
I think it's totally naive to say another country is doing it's part by providing training while they're also providing a revenue stream to the guys they're fighting.
