Another 12 billion to Ukraine? Sure why not. All with bipartisan support. What does the funding of the US government have to do with Ukraine? Absolutely nothing.

We are truly screwed regardless of which party is in power.

quote:

WASHINGTON, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Negotiators of a stop-gap spending bill in the U.S. Congress have agreed to include nearly $12 billion in new military and economic aid to Ukraine, sources familiar with the talks said on Monday, reflecting continued bipartisan support for the Kyiv government in the wake of Russia's invasion.


Because they need it more than us…

quote:

It also will include $4.5 billion to continue to provide direct budget support to the Kyiv government through the next quarter. That way President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's administration can pay salaries to essential staff

It's the greatest money laundering operation in world history by a factor of a 1000, they don't even know where the money is going.

If I woke up tomorrow and that shithole was a smoldering hole full of rancid water from the Potomac, I would not shed a tear.

Biden was NEVER smart enough to be the only politician laundering money through Ukraine. He just jumped aboard the gravy train many, of both parties, were using to get very wealthy as a “public servant.”

If Putin finds anything, it'll be dismissed as Russian disinformation even if he can prove it.

We are hiding explosives in the homeland, this must be nuclear or biological.

Bills should have review period of 1 day per 1 page and be single-issue only.

I listened in on a town hall with Jerry Karl and the reason he gave for the additional funding had to do with Ukraine being the “bread basket” of Europe & Africa, he’s a good guy but it didn’t resonate well. I think they all have been served NSL.

Paper trial probably disappears after it enters Ukraine. Wouldn't surprise me if Ukraine funnels 80% of each funding package back to our country, and gives it to allied corporations and elites.

Zelensky and Ukrainian elites probably take 15% and give the remaining 5% to the war effort.
