The Ukraine/Russia War. Something doesn’t make sense to me, particularly about money

Doesn't seem odd at all once you realize the whole foreign aid business is a scam to steal taxpayer's wealth. Whether it's direct cash payments or military aid, our corrupt politicians are getting their kickbacks.

We don't give the cash, the government gives them hardware we built and pay the companies that are in with the Politicians who then get the kickbacks from those said companies. It is a shift of money from your paycheck to these crooks.

This but Ukraine does get a large amount of cash to pay salaries, death benefits and to keep their country running. It’s insane that we are doing this.

This entire thing is a scam. I think Lyndsey graham was drunk one night and did an interview on fox and spilled the beans

Basically in a nutshell… Ukraine as $12 TRILLION worth of minerals in their ground.

Putin thinks it’s his (and it actually kid of is his) and he wants it back and America is trying to steal it.

It’s the ONLY reason for this war.

Have we ever had another world “leader” come to our country and our “leaders” roll out the red carpet for them knowing they will ask for money the way Volodymyr Zelenskyy has?

Ever heard of Winston Churchill and FDR?

Have you even bothered to check where the money is spent?

1. Weapons sent there are over priced by DOD and retired long ago, even the Patriot systems aren't close to latest upgrades. Early 1990's as the newest. They've all be replaced at least once.
2. Cluster munitions were supposed to be all disposed of last year and this one after an Obama EO. That actually costs us money to do.
3. 2/3 of the money "sent to Ukraine" is actually being used to rebuild defense capabilities here when Clinton then Obama gutted the industry. We used what was on the shelf in Iraq and Afghanistan, then found the cupboard to be bare
4. Some money is used to prop up Ukraine's economy.

Pelosi is super rich due to insider trading. All of this makes her richer. Of course she rolls out the red carpet for idiots like Zelensky.

citizen,

Once again a bunch of hogwash, an example "Patriot missile systems from the early 90s".

The new Patriot system — the second that the United States has sent to Ukraine — will come from Poland, where it has been protecting a rotational force of American troops who will be returning to the United States, officials said.

Do you actually believe we are protecting our troops with obsolete Patriot systems....seriously?

Thils ends the day Trump calls Zelensky and says you are on your own, and hopefully siezes his villas throughout the world.

Not obsolete, just not the newest hardware. Numerous software upgrades from when it was made to shoot down only planes. We don't send our latest greatest to even partners which we didn't allow to be sent to Ukraine. Ukrainians have actually manned these with sho nuff physicists and Ukraine had the largest concentration of them when part of the USSR. They have made their own tweeks to get them to do things we hadn't done yet. Our 1980s equipment is more advanced than Russia's 2020's equipment especially where radar and advanced optics are concerned.

We have thousands of armaments stored in the desert in CA near NV. We have thousands that we have stored in caves in Europe cheaper than shipping them to the USA.
