On April 7, the US Senate unanimously passed the “Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022,” a revival of FDR’s Lend-Lease policy enacted in March 1941 which helped win the Second World War.

This new Lend-Lease arrangement has not yet passed the US House of Representatives, which has adjourned for a two-week break. If confirmed, it will complement previous Congressional support for Ukraine, which has already seen USD 1.7 billion in military assistance authorized since Russia’s full-scale invasion began on February 24.

The new Lend-Lease bill significantly enhances existing lend-lease authoritiesavailable to US President Joe Biden under the Arms Export Control Act, while waiving several current requirements. It should ensure that shipments of urgently-needed weapons systems, ammunition, and military assistance in other forms arrive in Ukrainian hands faster and more seamlessly.

The bill was first conceived in the months prior to the outbreak of hostilities as a measure to deter a renewed Russian onslaught. Since February 24, it has evolved into an initiative to bolster Ukraine’s war-fighting capabilities while ensuring NATO allies also receive the support they need in the new context of a major war in the heart of Europe.

The Lend-Lease bill has been bipartisan from the start. “We introduced this measurein January as part of a broad campaign to deter Russia from making a terrible mistake, which the Kremlin has nevertheless now done. This horrific, unnecessary and unprovoked war against Ukraine has to end, with Ukraine prevailing against Russia’s aggression,” commented Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD). “Our bipartisan bill streamlines the president’s ability to bolster Ukraine’s defenses, defend innocent civilians, and also to protect our frontline NATO allies who may become targets of a desperate Vladimir Putin.”

If I am you I will stop wasting time reading articles from Atlantic Council whose close tie with Damon Wilson, a well known warmonger who headed NED today and US Secretary Of State Antony Blinken are good indications what their agenda is.

So we won't read balanced articles from these type of sources.

Atlantic Council happened to be a strong advocator of the LGBT community which makes me wonder whether their readers are .... themselves.

You seem to know a lot about the agenda of the Atlantic Council. Projecting much?

Let’s stick to the thread. I didn’t even look at the source (just scanned the OP) and I don’t read the Atlantic council articles. It’s a topic not directly related to what’s happening to Pakistan and something related to military affairs, so I posed a simple question. If you and everyone else ignores it, the thread will pass into obscurity in a day or two. no harm no foul. In the mean time please refrain from insinuating such things or else this forum will become even more depressing then it already has become.
