breeding contempt...U.S. Bill Sends More Anti-Tank, Anti-Aircraft Arms to Ukraine
Package to include Stinger, Javelin missiles, 105mm mortars
Ukraine’s military will see a fresh flow of anti-tank and anti-aircraft weaponry to help it stave off Russia’s offensive following U.S. Senate passage of a $1.5 trillion government funding bill late Thursday. Included in the funding package that now goes to President Joe Biden’s desk for signature is $3.5 billion to “replenish U.S. stocks of equipment sent to Ukraine.” That’s expected to include new shipments of 105mm mortars and additional Javelin and Stinger anti-armor and anti-aircraft weapons, according to people familiar with the issue.

Donald Trump's former advisor Michael Flynn reckons billionaires such as Bill Gates wont be happy with Putin's invasion of Ukraine due to it 'disrupting' alleged plans for a 'New World Order'.
For those unaware, the 'New World Order' is a conspiracy theory that suggests there is a totalitarian world government secretly emerging among a group of super elite.
The 63-year-old has boldly suggested that the Russian president's invasion 'has now upset' the plans of billionaires who are, in his words, wanting to eliminate 'God and a soul'.

smuggling heavy weapons logistics...
The US State Department has been seeking American allies who have Soviet S-300 air defense systems as it explores various options of supplying Ukraine with heavier arms, CNN reported on Tuesday. Last week, a plan to deliver MiG-29 fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine stalled after Washington refused to act as an intermediary in the process.
The White House has been increasingly pressured by Congress, which demands Washington supply Kiev with heavier weapons amid the ongoing Russian military action in Ukraine, CNN reported, citing some unnamed sources.
“The State Department has been working to identify which countries currently have the Soviet-made S-300 air defense systems and is examining how they could be transferred to Ukraine,” the media outlet reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called on western nations to impose a no-fly zone over Ukraine or provide Ukraine with military aircraft and air defense systems as the conflict unfolds.
A Republican Senate aide told CNN the lawmakers should “urge” the White House to identify “allies and partners” not just in Europe but “around the globe” that could hand over their “S-300 or other advanced air defense systems” to Ukraine in exchange for the US “backfilling” their own capabilities.
Washington initially struggled with the idea of the need to backfill some other nations’ defense capabilities in exchange for military aid to Ukraine. However, according to CNN, that is not an issue now, as Congress passed a $1.5 trillion spending bill last week. The bill specifically included $13 billion aimed for a “response” to Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
US lawmakers also appear to increasingly favor the idea of supplying Ukraine with air defense systems instead of planes now, as the plan to send Poland’s Soviet-made MiG-29 jets to Ukraine has been stalled due to Washington’s fear of a direct confrontation with Moscow.
Sources familiar with the status of America’s arms deliveries to Ukraine have told CNN that most weapons approved for Ukraine as part of a $350 million package Washington greenlit in late February have been delivered.
Over the weekend, the Biden administration approved an additional $200 million package, mostly including Javelin anti-armor missiles and Stinger surface-to-air missiles, the media outlet added.
However, some sources have also admitted to CNN that NATO has “very little idea” about just how many arms get into the hands of the Ukrainian army due to a complicated and untransparent delivery system.
The shipments of arms are “deliberately” arranged between individual nations and then directly with Ukraine to absolve the military bloc from any responsibility over the process, CNN has said. The nations had also been told to not even discuss the shipments with each other to minimize the potential chance of information leaks that could be somehow used by Moscow.

One of Italy’s largest trade unions has called for a protest outside the Pisa airport on Saturday, after receiving a tip from some employees that Ukraine relief flights were transporting weapons and ammunition, not food and medicine.
Several workers at the Galileo Galilei airport refused to load one of the cargo flights advertised as carrying humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The crates did not contain food and medication but weapons, ammunition and explosives instead, the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) said in a statement on Monday evening.
“We strongly denounce this outright falsification, which cynically uses ‘humanitarian’ aid as cover to fuel the war in Ukraine,” the USB said.
The union said the workers refused to load the military supplies as that would lead to the deaths of their colleagues in Ukraine – namely, those working at the bases targeted by Russian missile strikes, where the weapons processed through US and NATO bases in Poland get delivered.
Francesca Donato, an Italian member of the European Parliament, commented on the union’s statement by calling on the government in Rome to “clarify” what is happening.
