What DeSantis is doing is political, while his points seem valid. The disastrous Afghan exit may have emboldened US enemies, so by visiting the Ukraine now, Biden may be trying to repair the weakness seen by others around the world two years ago. The reaction from Putin to this new-look tough guy POTUS has not been very encouraging so far, so I hope that this does not all backfire. 

 

As far as aid goes, remember that the war has only been on for one year. Before that  Obama only sent non-lethal support. Trump sent missiles and other weapons, with the delivery of some of them delayed but only temporarily. Biden was slow to send weapons until the invasion has actually occured.

Just over a week before the invasion

 

"Almost every day, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Resnikov posts new pictures on his Twitter account, invariably showing large transport planes crammed with huge heavy crates. Inside the crates are weapons and ammunition that the US and UK are sending to Ukraine.

The purpose is to strengthen Ukrainein the face of the massive Russian troop buildup on its border. According to the Ukrainian government, Western partners have already provided Kyiv with $1.5 billion in military aid."

Biden - Risked getting a bomb dropped on him to stand up for democracy.

 

Trump- Cowered in his bunker (his bunker) when a few dozen protestors showed up at outside.

Now that is a bizarre comparison between Joes trip to Ukraine and Trumps actions at home .

  Joes trip to Ukraine , Trumps actions during a attempted coup

   Where's the connection between the two ?

It's an apt comparison of courage and bravery when encountering danger.

Got a link to prove your contention there was an attempted coup or is are you just trolling as usual?

The biggest danger Joe faced on that four hour trip to Ukraine was walking up the airplane steps on the way home

At least Biden made the effort - and had the balls - to go to Kyiv. Your guy Trump would never have done that, and he (private bone spurs, the president who called his own soldiers losers and suckers, and made fun of actual war heroes) wouldn’t have had the balls either.

Trolling, off topic posts and replies removed.

Looks like the response was crickets.

Yellen in Kyiv to meet with Zelensky

 

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is making a surprise visit to Ukraine on Monday to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, affirming U.S. support for the country as its war with Russia passes the one year mark, according to a Treasury Department official.

Yellen will visit Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, to meet with Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials. Yellen also announced another $1.25 billion in economic support from the U.S. to Ukraine.

I wonder if Zelensky ever gets tired of these people popping by when he's trying to fight a war!

When Putin sees Yellen, the scare factor will have more value than the loot she's got.
