CNN —

The Biden administration is moving toward lifting a de facto ban on American military contractors deploying to Ukraine, four US officials familiar with the matter told CNN, to help the country’s military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.

The change would mark another significant shift in the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy, as the US looks for ways to give Ukraine’s military an upper hand against Russia.

The policy is still being worked on by administration officials and has not received final sign-off yet from President Joe Biden, officials said.

We don't threaten nuclear war..

Not out loud…

Unless you’re a hurricane, and then we actually did consider nuking it. Remember?

"We" did not consider it. The president who got elected by archaic means despite losing the popular vote by millions considered it.

I know that you’re smart enough to know what I mean. Don’t make yourself look like a pedantic dick.

I'm not being pedantic, I'm simply not willing to share the blame for Trump coming up with moronic ideas and being the worst president in history after Andrew Jackson.

We also experimented mining with it. Turns out it's radioactive..

We also inadvertently killed John Wayne with it, which is just fucken funny. Ya know ive heard of ego death but I dont think many folks have been killed by their ego.

Look up some Darwin Awards if you want to find more literal Ego Deaths.

Oh im sure there are plenty. But Wayne bullied his way into the role because he wanted to be Genghis Khan and then he got radiation poisoning.
