Biden to send 31 US-made Abrams tanks to Ukraine after Germany announces it will send tanks to support the fight against Russia's invasion.

President Biden announced Wednesday that he plans to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, reversing the administration’s longstanding resistance to requests from Kyiv for the highly sophisticated but maintenance-heavy vehicles.

"The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world. They're also extremely complex to operate and maintain, so we're also giving Ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield. We'll begin to train the Ukrainian troops on these issues of sustainment, logistics and maintenance as soon as possible," Biden said in remarks from the White House.

"Delivering these tanks to the field is going to take time. Time that we'll see and we'll use to make sure the Ukrainians are fully prepared to integrate the Abrams tanks into their defenses," Biden added.

American cannot be trusted.

What a mistake just keep puking money for what?

By the time these tanks are delivered & people trained on them, the war might be over. lol

Biden cha-Ching again. Oh the good kick backs!

Why try to end a war when you can send weapons to keep it going I’m sure all the families of anyone that’s been killed in Ukraine during this war are glad about the tanks And the Patriot missile training in the US

J0rd0n Tr!sht0n Wlk3r

Why don't they buy tanks for all the billions we keep sending them?

Why? Need to worry about the problems in our own country

Good luck with that.

Since when did taxpayers approve this or when was the War Plwers Act imppsed. This is not the American taxpayers FIGHT

I hope this does not make situation worst for European people.

He’s really trying to cause a world war

Who was really applying the pressure here? It wasn’t Ukraine. Feels like It was Germany. Germany said, “sure, we’ll send them our Leos, if the US sends their Abrams.” So, do we really give AF about Ukraine or about Germany? My guess, it’s not Ukraine. Otherwise, we would have

you said Ukraine was winning the war 🤥

Many thanks Biden, that will boost the offensive capability of the Ukrainians

How about sending them to the southern border. The war on drugs and illegal aliens are more of a threat to us. Ukraine doesn’t impact my life.

So Americans are actually getting into war with Russians

No one takes biden seriously. He is in charge of nothimg. BTW the nuclear codes are not hunters lottery numbers

Yeah as soon as make them then train Ukrainian troops we're talking 'bout over a year....do they have that much time? .

JUST 31?

I agree with Lindsay Graham, it is past time to send tanks we should have taken Putin much more seriously, do you honestly think he won’t use nukes no matter what we do? His war goes bad he’ll use em, he feels threatened he’ll use em, he’s going to use em regardless take him out

The amount of Russian trolls on this thread is funny as hell

Cool but when are we gonna stop the climate crisis?

Go Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸

The war by proxy officials begins

This will be the last World War of this planet

Only 31?

All the carbon negative impact, that will come from this, helps our planet die a little more, all to support the death of more of our species, on a collapsed and broken defensive rhetoric to protect the idiocracy of economics wealth and the structure that's hindering our rise.

Just keep ticking away those seconds on the dooms day clock I see. 🤦‍♀️

These tanks are huge. Were they named after staceyabrams ?

The US will also be ensuring the Ukrainians have the ability to maintain these incredibly complex pieces of military hardware that are unlikely any other of the multitude of tanks they have.

America doesn't want this.

No wonder we need a massive defense budget, Biden keeps giving our stuff away

Train Ukraine Army and let's roll!

Awesome!

Gonna reap what you soe:(

What's going on with weapons industry stocks today? This proxy war is gonna be crazy profitable!

Take you time, fellas. By all means don't get the move on!

Great idea. Let’s arm an unstable country that could turn around and use our own weapons against us. Brilliant. Great job Biden.

Obviously the WW3 started a year ago but not announced yet.

should focus on diplomacy and peace talks, not escalating the war..this is a dangerous move

He could have asked the Taliban to send some on...they must have a few to spare.

Iraqis whit smal weapons So wait what Russia can do whit youre tanks

What is the new? The outcome be different?

Shame on you so called international media CNN no news on Pakistan, where American Imported regime trying to arrest Pakistan’s most populous leader, no coverage? hrw UNHumanRights

The chance of eventual nuclear escalation just dramatically increased. Why? The threat to Crimea. Our gov/media will never say it, but Crimea is historically part of RU. Khrushchev gave Crimea to UKR in 1954 as a gift, but never would have done so if he knew USSR would dissolve.

Great news! Fight for freedom ❤️❤️❤️. Kill dictatorship, we do not need it on earth.

How would the USA react if they were at war with Mexico and russia started sending them tanks?

Ukraine is only still a smudge on the map because of American tax dollars. We can't float the bill forever. If Russia 'loses', they WILL use their superior nuclear arsenal against Ukkkraine and probably the NAZI Azov Brigade supporting Biden regime.

An you are going to line up front row Biden first line of defense 🤬🤬🤬🤬💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣

31 Tanks ? That's embarrassing During the 1994 negotiations in Budapest, “when negotiating the security assurances, US officials told their Ukrainian counterparts that, were Russia to violate them, the United States would take a strong interest and respond,” Pifer argued.

It’s a symbolic shot across the bow to Putin.

Hey CNN - ask who is going to operate the Tanks. And maintain them. This is a stepping stone for troops and everyone with a brain knows it.

This is absolutely insane. This is not going to help Ukraine win. This is only going to fan the flames for nuclear war and Armageddon. This whole situation could have easily been negotiated and stopped if we had the right leadership. Potato joe should be impeached!

The truth hurts sometimes

Told ya Nine senior government officials have now been purged in Ukraine as part of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s response to widespread allegations of corruption across his administration.

Might pay to check for any loose classified docs before shipment 🙄

God Bless America

Nice!

It’s gonna take a long time to prepare the Ukrainians to make use of the American weapon system; this is a symbolic move to give Germany cover

Who is going to drive the tanks?

🫣 i think its time for peace this has gone on long enough…

He is doing that to stop the “brutal ukriane aggression”

Remember when elonmusk could of sovled world hunger for 44 bil. 100 bill to Ukraine and counting. POTUS would rather have war than sovle world hungery twitce

We go to the Middle East to cover for the destruction of human history, now we fight a proxy war to cover the tracks of human trafficking and unregulated bio labs. Seems legit.

We’re all just sleepwalking into World War Three.

Remember that world war 3 is the democrat's legacy. You earned whats coming.

31 out of the 10k+... why prolong this...

Billions of our money is not enough. He’s sending tanks now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

STOOOP SENDING HELL MAKERS! GIVE UKRAINE 1st AID. STAY IN PEACE

poor russia. squashed

If people think WWIII hasn’t already started then they need to wake up. This is a world war

They just moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight. The closest to the hour it has ever been. With this move by President Biden, the Doomsday Clock might go to 10 seconds before midnight. DoomsdayClock

Damn are we going to war with Russia? I was afraid of China

Biden cares more about Ukraine than America. Sad

That's great news........ All hands must be on deck to support Ukraine 🇺🇦

Ukraine gets an allowance every week from daddy Biden

The U.S. could easily provide Ukraine with 300 tanks, but the Biden administration is unwilling to do so

The tank is no longer relevant on the battlefield, thanks to man-portable anti-armor weapons. Without “advisers” to keep them running, they’ll soon break down, not to mention the training required to operate them. Like giving a novice a violin and expecting them to play Mozart.

Huge W.

Good....whatever it takes we must do.

Why doesn't a reporter ask him if the Ukraine-Russia War is still on a path to a potential nuclear Armageddon?

Putin watching America raise the debt ceiling again to provide “peace to Ukraine“

I wish this goes sour quickly.

publishers are making tanks now?

Brandon rocks
