The terrorist invasion of Ukraine by Putin spurred NATO to revamp its defense plans against Russian attack
ASSOCIATED PRESS - VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) —
U.S. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts on Tuesday endorsed the biggest shakeup since the Cold War of the way the military alliance would respond to any attack on its territory by Russia. Inspired in part by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, the highly-secretive defense plans lay out which of the 31 member countries would be called on to respond an attack anywhere from the Arctic and Baltic Sea regions through the northern Atlantic and south to the Mediterranean and Black Seas.
“Peace in the Euro-Atlantic area has been shattered," the leaders said in a statement, laying out the twin threats posed by Russia and terrorism. “Together, this family of plans will significantly improve our ability and readiness to deter and defend against any threats, including on short or no notice, and ensure timely reinforcement of all Allies.”
The leaders, meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, “committed to fully resource and regularly exercise these plans to be prepared for high-intensity and multi-domain collective defense.”
Under the new plans, NATO commanders will know more clearly what troops and equipment they would have at their disposal and how long it would take to have them in place, officials said.

President Biden has to be led to the bathroom by hand so that he doesn’t leave a Snickers bar in his undies or so that he doesn’t get lost down a long hallway that leads him to the outside where he defecates on the White House’s front lawn bro he ain’t leading nobody nowhere
if anything gets done it’s his handlers and the people that are put in place to follow the directions from “ the money “ that gets anything done . My goodness . And what gets done is just what those people or corporations will allow . Ridiculous .

Now that it is agreed to train Ukrainians pilots of flying F-16s we have to wonder how many will be sent to Ukraine for defense.

NATO's latest moves could bottle up much of Russia's naval power
Putin and his defenders have claimed he launched his war to keep NATO away from Russia's borders. Instead, the conflict triggered a new round of NATO expansion that this year caused Russia's border with the alliance to more than double in length. The accession of Finland in April added more than 1,300 kilometres of NATO-Russia border.
The green light for Sweden to join the alliance, which came on the eve of the Vilnius summit, turns the Baltic Sea into NATO's backyard. At the start of the year, the northern shores of the Baltic, including both sides of the Gulf of Bothnia, were neutral territory. Sweden and Finland, two countries that maintain highly professional navies and air forces, had for decades remained outside of the European alliance. Now, every inch of Baltic shoreline outside of Russian waters is controlled by NATO allies — allies that are increasingly well-armed.
"You're seeing this rejuvenation of naval forces all across Europe," said Grodzinski. "Sweden, Norway, Finland and so forth are expanding their navies.There is a greater NATO presence in in the Baltic Sea, which never really occurred before. So there's a completely different dynamic."

Biden admin announces $345 million military aid package for Taiwan
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Friday announced $345 million in military aid for Taiwan to help Taiwan counter China.
The White House's announcement said the package would include defense, education and training for the Taiwanese. Washington will send man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, intelligence and surveillance capabilities, firearms and missiles, according to two U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters ahead of the announcement.
U.S. lawmakers have been pressuring the Pentagon and White House to speed weapons to Taiwan. The goals are to help it counter China and to deter China from considering attacking, by providing Taipei enough weaponry that it would make the price of invasion too high.

This is going to help, especially since officials in the Kremlin have recently announced they are staying the course of attacking Ukraine with the intent to bring them to their knees.

Yep.....from "however long it takes" to "running out of runway".... Putin is laughing his ass off right now...
White House warns Israel crisis is stretching its ability to support Ukraine: “Running out of runway”
Biden administration moving with ‘sense of alacrity’ as John Kirby says aid won’t be ‘indefinite’
“I think in the immediate term, right now, we can continue to support – with the authorities in the appropriations we have – Israel and Ukraine. But, you know, we’re ... certainly running out of runway,” said John Kirby, a spokesperson for the National Security Council.
Mr Kirby was answering a question at a daily briefing on the administration meeting the immediate needs of Ukraine and Israel along with the continuing fight to elect a House Speaker
Mr Kirby said the US administration had the means to support both Israel and Ukraine in the near term. “But you don’t want to be trying to bake in long-term support when you’re at the end of the rope,” he said on Wednesday.
“And on the Ukraine funding, we’re coming near to the end of the rope. I mean, today we announced $200mn, and we’ll keep that aid going as long as we can, but it’s not going to be indefinite,” he said, adding that the US is moving with “a sense of alacrity”.
Time is a flat circle....
