quote:

Nine months after invading Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is beginning to fracture the West. 

Top European officials are furious with Joe Biden’s administration and now accuse the Americans of making a fortune from the war, while EU countries suffer. 

“The fact is, if you look at it soberly, the country that is most profiting from this war is the U.S. because they are selling more gas and at higher prices, and because they are selling more weapons,” one senior official told POLITICO.

How much foreign aid have we sent to Ukraine?

If someone is profiteering off it, it isn’t the US government itself. We’ve spent billions on these frickers.

Plugged-in people getting kickbacks off the aid? That I can believe.

It's the politicians. It was pretty obvious from the beginning, considering all of the shite with Ukraine and the Bidens, that Ukraine was nothing more than a money laundering front for the Democrats and the Establishment RINO's. Then the FTX clusterfrick proved this all to be true. Yet here we are, still sending billions over, and dumbfricks on twitter and facebook still have their Ukraine profile, and the Ukraine thread on TD is filled with democrats who are lusting for more war because "Putin man bad".

We have to sell at higher prices because the gas is sent by ship, not a pipeline. Do they expect us to lose money?

Damn right. We’re picking up former Russian customers who now see that our weapons are far superior.

Oh, and we’re also sending many more billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine than are the European cuntries combined.

They’re not wrong. Lockheed and General Dynamics are literally making billions off of this war.

The US economy should benefit from it.

If the Europeans don't like that, they can build their own military industrial complex. And handle their own problems.

I saw a clip recently where news agencies were talking about how homelessness was rising all over the USA, and the clips were broken up by other clips talking about how the USA is giving “$1 billion” or “$400 million” or “$850 million” to Ukraine.

The US politicians give zero shits about their own population.

It is sick and the people who defend the dumping of shitloads of money into that black hole are the problem.

They don't want to handle their own problems so this is the price they're going to pay.

This is like the scene in Goodfellas where the restaurant owner begs Paulie for help, then Paulie does what Paulie does.
