The amount of $$$ changing hands and the grift is off the charts. We will never know of all of the kickbacks, bribes and theft but it is staggering with all of the energy contracts, defense contracts, "aid" etc.

Europe buys gas from Russia which funds the country they say is their biggest threat.

Russians sell gas to Europeans who give aid to Ukraine to kill Russians.

Russia pays Ukraine, the country they have invaded, to allow the gas to flow to Europe.

Ukraine allows Russian gas to transit which allows Russia to fund the invasion of their country.

The US spends a fortune providing protection of Europe, that is funding Russia, from a potential invasion From Russia.

The US has sent billions to Ukraine and has no idea where the money went, in support of "Democracy", which is being protected by a guy that has killed journalist, censored news sources, and cancelled elections.

All while thousands die every day for 3 years and counting.

Absurd.

They aren't allowing gas flow through Ukraine any more so that makes 90% or your post moot.

Russian gas through Ukraine

Just another example of the DC Swamp and their ongoing Forever Wars.

2026 elections will be here soon, and these same Democrat warmongers will win.

You ain't seen nothing yet... wait until the costs and contracts for "rebuilding" get started up... That is when the real grift gets going... The rest of this has been rookie numbers...

I am hoping Trump gets us untangled from this mess with haste...

Didn't lnow they finally stopped, if they actually did. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some shady deals made to keep some of it flowing too much money to be pocketed.

Even if it has been cut of it was absurd that it took years and it shows that money was prioritized.

God bless Putin and his soldiers. They are the only ones who can save Europe from the Islamic hordes

It would be cool if someone could point me to some evidence on this. I've never seen it, not saying it doesn't exist but I'd like to know more.

defense contracts


This is one of the biggest con games in the world.

We approve wars, send money to finance them, the money is sent back to Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman.

These companies all hire top officials appointed by political leaders when they "retire" from the military who owe politicians a favor .

Also Blackrock owns stakes in all these companies

And the tax payer makes these people extremely rich 20 30 40 Million, all of them on 150-200K salaries

I believe the article is from January 2025. So it was JUST stopped? I don't think that negates the OP's position at all.

Go back to Biden's call to Portschenko before Trump took office. Listen to the call where Biden says don't ask Trump Admin for money because he will start looking into it.

Why would Biden say that? (That's a real soft toss)

Look up the videos Glenn Beck did on Ukraine. There is one where explicitly tracks when US funds went into a Russian oligarchs bank and disappeared.


The facts are there, and have been presented. You just don't want to believe them.

Yeah stopped recently. My point is that situation is no longer the case but yeah 3 years of revenue to Russia is just unreal.

Interestingly stopped right before the change in USA Administration. Possibly a coincidence. Maybe. I tend to not believe in coincidences anymore, myself. It does certainly appear as the OP stated. An amazingly complex money laundering/Grift.
