Uniparty traitors supporting the financial rape of the US for their puppet con man. You gotta feel bad for the common American people being fucked over by the xiden muppets

Someone in Congress mentioned supporting our country from the invasion we are experiencing from the South. Looks like they neglected to put any additional funds towards that. Sounds like Congress is gonna do a short term funding to keep spending at today's rate until mid-January until they can settle that.

Zelensky will just have to wait. Who knows maybe in the new year Congress will even put in auditors to make sure everything that went to Ukraine as well as the new stuff is accounted for.

I mean I'm sure that the Ukraine will make up for the "lost" equipment/funds, right?????

Eurotrash needs to cough up the money and buy American weapons to send to Ukraine.

However, I prefer Congress wastes money on Ukraine rather than welfare queens, but that's just my opinion.

I would like to round up a few hundred thousand welfare losers and give them a gun and drop them in Ukraine; maybe they'll lose weight in the process.

Congress

Needs to declare war on Russia or get the fuck out.

Looking forward to the audits. Yeah right.

Cheap way to kick a hostile shithole nation - CCCP - with unfounded illusions of grandeur and proven incapability of coloring within the lines into their rightful place of being Chyna's bitch and sitting on the loser bench next to Iran and NoKo. Fucking bargain, actually, especially taking into account that most of the hardware we provide is old stuff produced 20-30-40 years ago for this exact purpose and reaching the end of its shelf life.
And in the end it will all be paid by confiscated CCCP assets of wich $300B is already sitting ready in the frozen accounts in the West.

I believe the total aid is 8:1 US:Europe, despite ex-US NATO being richer than the USA, and well, most of them being in Europe near the action.

Omnibus:

The GOP yes votes were Katko (NY), Jacobs (NY), Fitzpatrick (PA), Upton (MI), Davis (IL), Herrera Beutler (WA), Womack (AK), Kinzinger (Crying), Cheney (Northern Virginia).

Good luck with this. Remember $trillion which Pentagon lost in Iraq and which was never traced. A few tens of billions lost in Ukraine is chump change

I read in 2022 that Ukraine received $50 billion in total aid from the USA with about 20 percent for humanitarian assistance, and 50% for military aid. The remainder was for other reasons like financial assistance with paying loans.

I read also a lot of humanitarian aid came from the United Nations, European Union and international non-government organizations and non profits like the Red Cross and Salvation Army.

Btw, tell us more about those two Polish villagers killed by that 'Russian missile attack'. C'mon. Let's hear that one again.

There were two missile explosions in Poland near UA border. One was UA S300 missile, the other one was never spoken of again. I wonder what nationality the other missile belonged to. If Russia, then it would be ww3 so perhaps this is why it was never mentioned again

No worries, the Fed can always print more $$$.

Catherine Austin Fitts did an independent study of the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) and found, using their own statistics, that there is a whopping $21 TRILLION
in funds that are 'unaccounted' for. $21 TRILLION just vanished. The thievery in this country has reached levels that are unimaginable in scope.

A little bit of background information on Fitts; she is a highly educated, competent individual. She served as Assistant Sec. of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush Administration. Fitts attempted to expose the corruption and waste that she had witnessed, and paid a heavy price, as the Federal Gov't prosecuted her for her whistleblowing efforts. She came from a wealthy family, and after $11 Million in legal fees (late 1980's money) and over a period of years, she successfully defeated the Government's efforts in court, a rare achievement.

Since then, she has been an outspoken advocate in exposing Government waste and corruption, along with being an advocate against the use of the COVID EXPERIMENTAL
'vaccines.' Interesting interview that she conducted with Robert Kennedy Jr. https://tube2.solari.com/videos/the-real-anthony-fauci-catherine-austin-fitts-talks-with-robert-f-kennedy-jr/

Apparently —though I can’t recall any media reporting this at the time (let me know if you remember it)— it was always well known that Ukraine was a hotbed of official graft, theft, and a cosmopolitan culture of surreptitious sharing that would make a Somali warlord gasp in wonder. ...

Since everybody (except the taxpaying public) knew about this long-standing corruption problem, officials in Washington and Brussels required Kiev to set up a variety of anticorruption panels, called “supervisory boards,” at all the key bureaucratic spigots through which the big money would flow.

It didn’t work. Ukraine’s professional grifters, long schooled in the art of lifting a few diplomatic dollars from the international aid purse, saw them coming a mile away.

The “supervisory boards” were quickly neutralized through clever bureaucratic jiu-jitsu, like leaving enough unfilled slots so that boards always lacked a quorum, or by packing boards with connected insiders. It was child’s play. ...

The Times didn’t ask any of the “European leaders.” But it randomly inquired of Christian Syse, Norway’s special envoy to Ukraine, who offered the childlike explanation that, “We do care about good governance, but we also have to accept that risk, because Ukraine is defending Europe from Russian attacks.”

Christian’s sentiment pretty much summarizes the European perspective. Western Europe shares an irrational conviction that Russia, which they constantly claim is running out of men, money, and machines, through some diabolical necromancy, is also perpetually on the brink of launching a much bigger war against everybody.

The thing is, a little corruption between friends is not the real problem. The real problem is that corrupt governments don’t fight wars very efficiently. It’s a recipe for catastrophe. As one example, the article reported that the Defense Ministry was found to be approving “dubious contracts” that required “15% kickbacks.” But “many shells failed to fire.”

Accepting the risk is probably little comfort to conscripts at the front, who race to stuff shells into their artillery guns, frantically pull the levers, expecting to watch the bomb launch across the lines at the advancing Russians, but then … PLONK. No launch. Just a blinking frowny face on the touch screen.

Eric Holder says

Are you really saying that Ukraine i not corrupt? And you cannot bribe Zelenski to give up Ukraine anymore that one can bribe Bill Gates to give up Microsoft.
