Ukraine wants Biden to give them killer drones. Biden salivates over the idea.

The Intercept: Military-Industrial Complex Is Itching to Send “Hunter-Killer” Drones to Ukraine.

Kyiv reportedly met with the major defense contractor General Atomics about obtaining the “Hunter-Killer” MQ-9 Reaper drone, armed with Hellfire missiles, which the U.S. has infamously used in botched airstrikes that killed and maimed civilians in Afghanistan, Somalia, and other countries around the world. The company and Kyiv’s allies in Washington are appealing to policymakers to greenlight the export, despite the high risk of escalation that could turn the devastating war nuclear.

Along the way, Kyiv and the U.S. defense industry have had a strong ally in the American media, which is constantly asking the administration why it’s not getting more involved. After the Washington Post reported on Ukraine’s discussions with General Atomics, Politico beckoned: “Ukraine wants armed drones. Is the U.S. ready to deliver?”

“It’s not every day that the United States approves the sale or transfer of armed drones to a foreign country — but Ukraine is hoping the Biden administration will heed the call of soldiers on the ground to do just that,” the story led.

Hit the link, read the full story. Biden's handlers and the Military Industrial Complex are itching for WW3. Appears Biden wants to employ the same tactics of Obama...drone and kill, drone and kill, drone and kill. Civilian casualties...oh, just collateral damage. Here's $5,000 per family to bury your innocent dead.
