Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia can now transfer American-made lethal weapons, including anti-armor and ground-to-air missiles, to Ukraine, Politico reported Wednesday.
The State Department has given the go-ahead after receiving the requests from the Balti states in recent weeks, according to an official speaking off the record due to the issue not being yet announced publicly.
Under export control regulations in the United States, the three countries were first required to obtain approval from the State Department before transferring their weapons to Ukraine. The official did not specify the type of weapons that will be transferred.
In December, Peeter Kuimet, head of Estonia’s International Cooperation Department, said Tallinn was considering sending Ukraine its Javelin anti-armor missiles and 122-mm howitzers.
The same month, Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas also pledged to send lethal weapons to Ukraine.
“Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia can now transfer American-made lethal weapons, including anti-armor and ground-to-air missiles, to Ukraine, Politico reported Wednesday.”
Excellent news. Every weapon sent to Ukraine is one more to kill terrorists invading Ukraine.
The head of the Ukr armed forces says he now has enough anti-tank munitions. I hope he is right! I would have thought that a shitload would still not be enough.
Anyway, they still need enough SAM’s to neutralise putler’s Air Force, plus patriots to hit the rodent’s cruise missiles.
I still don’t think that putler will attack, despite Biden’s best efforts to help the cunt. But if he does, Ukraine must inflict massive casualties to drive the vermin back.
Britain needs to do a lot more. There are signs that Boris might survive this absurd, piffling “partygate” coup attempt. In which case he can get back on the job with renewed vigour.
A pox on the entire EU! With the exception of Poland and Pribaltika of course.
The decision by Biden not to sanction Nord Stream to preserve Western unity with the EU looks to have failed completely. Now the Frogs have come out with a fucking utterly absurd proposition. I think it’s time to fuck the EU and sanction this Nord Stream, just for a start.

Macron is vermin, like almost all other French rulers.
That dribbling halfwit Biden thinks that Germany and France are his friends. In reality both hate the US as much as they hate Britain. Both would be far more likely to fight against Ukraine than Russia.
The Kenyan Marxist Obama also hates Britain. He said that America has “no greater friend than France.”
Thank fuck we’re out of the EU! It’s a putlerite snake pit.
Good article from the front line :

It may have done more than that.
“…obtain approval from the State Department before transferring THEIR weapons to Ukraine.”
So now the Baltic countries are less protected…..BUT….can invoke article 5 if attacked. This could be brilliant if Vladolf decides to try that instead of a further move into Ukraine. Its as if the Baltics are baiting the Moskali. Either way it is a very brave move on their part imo.
