The government of Ukraine is asking western nations to fund their budget. Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked for $7 billion per month in financial assistance to retain their government obligations. Yesterday, Ukraine Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reiterated that demand saying, “the cash, in sense of our budget, is very important for social and humanitarian responsibilities of our state to our people.”
l am not wanting to belabor a point that many have discussed here, but there really does come a time when the American people must draw a red line and ask, ‘to what end?‘ The United States government, both the white house and congress, have already pledged $14 billion dollars to Ukraine without a single representative asking the American people if they support it.
Certainly, there is an argument to be made that Ukraine needs the support of the world as they struggle with a conflict in their nation. However, charity begins at home, and for too long our national leadership has been willing to use our income taxes as tools for their own political agenda. The brazen expectation by leaders of Ukraine for the United States citizens to finance their government is, in my opinion, the last straw of a series of straws.
The issue would not be so significant if that request was not also accompanied by the visibility of western European nations, supposedly NATO allies, barely spending any money of their own wealth to assist their direct neighbor. The U.S. financial support is ridiculous when compared to how Europe is responding to the Ukraine crisis.
Compounding this issue is our own American economy and the serious pain being felt by American workers and taxpayers as the spending creates even more massive inflation that we have to cope with. We gained national independence around the premise of taxation without representation from England, and yet here we are again sending scarce income, without consultation or representation, to DC elites who send that money overseas.
(CBS) – […] MARGARET BRENNAN: But, specifically, is it medical supplies you need most? Is it heavy weapons? Is it just cash?
PRIME MINISTER DENYS SHMYHAL: We need weapon, medical support. But many countries support us because they take our injured soldiers. The cash, in sense of our budget, is very important for social and humanitarian responsibilities of our state to our people.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that’s $4 billion to $5 billion a month Ukraine needs?
Where is the social and humanitarian consideration for our own people. The American people?
The Ukraine government request/demand is just so matter-of-factly stated as if it’s just another day in the life of a group of people who have no concept they are discussing the distribution of your earnings. They don’t even have the mental association or reference point for who and what the golden goose is that creates the baseline for them to even talk about it.
The American taxpayer is reduced to some weird, disconnected entity that was scraped from their loafer as they entered the boardroom.
At gas stations across the nation, people in real economic pain, psychologically draining and worrying anxiety, are pulling out thirty bucks to put a few gallons of gas to get them to their job where what?….
…Where they are expected to use their calloused hands to generate the payments for Ukrainian government officials to spend on their “social responsibilities of the state?”… Think about that the next time we set down the hamburger meat at the supermarket because it costs too much, or we try and figure out how to make the kids shoes last just a few months longer.
The level of rage this geopolitical disconnect is creating is entirely unsustainable.
Americans generally do not like being angry, we are the most charitable and kind people in the history of all assembled nations on this planet, but this level of being taken for granted needs to come to an end, AND SOON.
I don’t know about everyone who reads this, but the people around me are more than a little sick of this nonsense.
$#@)*&^^%!!@??”:
Ya got that ya bum? Now buzz of Zelensky, you rotten Khazarian horsefly.!!!!
There have not been any Khazarians since about 950 AD.
If you are engaging in the endless Jew slander, at least be honest about it…
And I suggest you study some actual historical facts about Khazar, the linguistic and genomic analysis.
Personally, I liked his post –
it occurred to me that there could be a giant Khazarian horsefly –
I remember as a child when we were on a family trip in Ensenada, an extremely giant horsefly flew into our taxi cab – the driver pulled over to the curb, ran around and opened all the doors, shouting imprecations at the horsefly in Spanish until the giant horsefly flew out and away –
the taxi driver had been hired by my Mom for the week to drive us around to places and he saw that horsefly might ruin the gig – we all remembered the horsefly, forever.
LOL, yep…. Big horseflies there. But not Khazarian.
Rabbit hole for you…
| THE SEQUEL TO THE FALL OF THE CABAL – PART 1, THE BIRTH OF THE CABAL |
“We’re taking you back into history, all the way to the origins of the Cabal. Let’s start in Sumer (modern-day Iraq), where the oldest civilization on earth started. By following two major migrations (to the West and to the North), we’ll meet the Khazars and the Ashkenazi,…”
https://www.bitchute.com/video/BRizDPuLs8c4/
*Note also see video Part 3:
“The Khazarian Cabal wanted Revenge on Russia, the country that had expelled them. …”
That video series is 1uite fantastical, and I certainly wouldn’t use their uncited,rambling, spooky-voice video as a basis for factual assessment.
There are plenty of books out there, and I like to go to http://www.jstor.com to read older, out of print books, especially in history. .
Some book info written by actual historians with specialties in those areas of study are far better, accurate, and certainly, more 9bjective than videos made from a spooky point of view .
Try Harder!
Some citations would be nice.
One could conclude based on your comments Khazarians would have had no offspring since 959 AD.
If you study the history of that area, you will see that it was conquered by Vikings, the Golden Horde, Persians, Byzantines, Slavs, Cossacks, Taters, Poland & Lithuania, Kievan Rus, Kipchaks, Ottomans, etc. People were always crossing, conquering, settling, mixing, moving, blending peoples, cultures, food, etc.
But, as an individual
an distinct country and culture, it pretty much was gone as Khazaria, and it’s disappearance so sudden, it’s documents and written history so sparse, that historians have trouble figuring out what happened to them.
One of the local gas stations has an option when paying by card to round up to the next dollar giving the change to the Red Cross for Ukrainian aide. I actually got harassed by a clerk for telling her I don’t trust the Red Cross, or any charity group. She got so offended that I didn’t want to “step up and support them.” I asked if she realized that our government already gave that country $14+ BILLION in taxpayers money. She said that didn’t count because I didn’t personally give it. I told her, “You’re right. It was stolen from me.” Her manager then told her to stop harassing the customers.
A man in Pennsylvania was arrested recently for putting the FJB “I Did That” stickers on a gas pump.
Heard they are quite popular in California
Yes, indeed they are.
You have to use discretion.
I’ll take things that never happened for $400, Alex.
That very incident exemplifies how unfortunately there are so many stupid people out there who don’t view tax money as OUR money!
Good job!
they’re not stupid; this is what they’re being taught by their teachers enforced by the media
Mike Rowe says we’re churning out a generation of people who know nothing, have no skill, no ambition, no guidance and he’s right.
Mike Rowe should be in the next Trump Administration.
Blue Collar Czar.
Dept of Labor, because he understands WORK!
My opinion is that unless I can personally take the tax write off for donations to charity,
“it ain’t happening!”
Oh my, I liked that post!
So you say you dont trust Red Cross….fair enough….I say in Canada you run the risk of having your bank accounts frozen by giving donations….and the governments decrees on donations can be retroactive.
I never give to any ‘cash register’ charities. I do my homework. Many well-known national charities, like The Red Cross, are questionable at best.
Charity begins at home in my own town. I always give to causes that are up close and personal.
There are perhaps millions of voters in the US who would have absolutely no reservations about Joe authorizing $ for the poor and valiant Ukrainians.
I’d be amazed if Joe even hesitates about this. It’s not like he cares about Americans.
Yep. Suckers and fools. Ignorant bleeding heart liberals. Some of them are the rich elite and some of them are the ones on government assistance. None of them are the hard working America First citizens.
There are a few out there that get it, RP.
This is hush money.
I agree Joe being blackmailed and paying Zelensky off with tax dollars.
We need to put a stop to this. We have no reps in Congress anymore. They all sold out.
.
He (and co.)* have blackmail on U.S. politicians.
That is why he (and they) are having him say it publicly. That’s why the drip drip drip of more and then more and then more and another “little” bit of “help”. And the “Save this democracy!” propaganda. In the hope that it makes this all seem like perfectly normal and not even worth a comment.
*(It’s not just Zelensky, else he would have had an accident by now.)
.
Were I a GOP candidate running for Congress, I would make this, grooming in schools, and the open southern border the issues I talked about most, especially if I were running in a primary. Very few in Congress want to stop pouring money into Ukraine and the idiotic sanctions that are hurting us and benefiting Russia. But the American people are with us on that and on grooming and the open border.
Get it from the EU
No kidding! American leftists are always telling us how WONDERFUL the EU is … so let them pay for their own non-NATO defense
Zelensky: “You know, Joe… Send us billions more or I will release your family holdings to the public, as well as others in your UniParty.”
I keep seeing this said, but the reality is that our Derp State owns Ukraine and it’s cross-dressing clown and is the true custodian and exploiter of Kompromat on Biden and Miss Lindsey.
If Z-bag ever threatened or released said Kompromat it will be Derp State’s doing.
think you mean “UNDOING.
I wish.
If PDJT is president, he will ask NATO to cough up that 7 billion. Fck Z. Vote out all the uniparty.
I hope you’re sending plenty of MONEY to the brave MAGA candidates that are running in every state. They need it, and are worth it.
There are no sugar daddy PACS to finance our side Tag, we’re it. GIVE MONEY.
Yet another obvious scam from the DC Swamp, the land of scams–i.e., scam land…
Washington, Den of Corruption.
There’s no interrupting the money laundering scam, war just makes it better for the crooks.
Billy and Hilly got a lot of that Ukraine money in the past too. I think the Biden crime family owns Ukraine.
It’s obvious from that chart that Sundance posted with the article.

This is what they get for cheaping out on the ammo.
It’s not so hard to keep your crisis actors from moving around.
And they tell us Social Security will run out of money in the future.
Hold on a second… so what you are saying is that if America enters into a fake war… we can demand the EU give us lots of money to prop up our economy, pay off our Bernie Madhoff ponzi scheme investments, AND fulfil our social obligations????
Brilliant! Hell, let’s get with Canada and start a hockey war and get paid for the showmanship! We’ll give them a little kick back. Killer way to get out of debt.
Maybe if we make it look real good, we will go viral on YouTube!
Got a green screen? Joe Dan shows you how to do it in his latest Intellectual Froglegs installment.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday that a complete European ban on Russian oil and gas imports would “clearly” raise global oil prices and may inflict harm on Europe and other parts of the world. Speaking to reporters following a meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Finance Minister Sergiy Marchenko in Washington, Yellen said that such a ban could ultimately cause more harm than good. “It could actually have very little negative impact on Russia, because although Russia might export less, the price it gets for its exports would go up,” she said, as quoted by AFP.
Ahh, the old “Irish Handshake” .. I heard a bouncer from Boston call that grip vlad has on his captor.
Damn……just spilled another pilsner….great “toon”….thanks for sharing!
That “pair” is far too large for the US and EU. Just saying. I doubt Putin could find the nuts on the US and the EU were he in this position.
I said Suggest that we confiscate money from demonrats clean out their savings accounts make them homeless and sent the money to Americans instead. It’s about time they paid a price for all the damage they have done to this country.
The Obiden Regime is making We the People, the the middle class workers broke. None of the Government workers will suffer a financial loss. they are immune, with their Government perks. And the Lefties cheering this BS on are the ones who live in government subsidized apartments or with their parents.
No! Peace Talks!!
Just one more rathole to transfer the wealth of America into … hey! Here’s an idea! Why don’t ALL the corporations who gave $M’s to BLM … so a couple black women could buy multiple mansions … give Ukraine what they’re asking? Leave the American taxpayer the hell out of it. Let NIKE fund the Ukraine. Let AT&T fund Ukraine … etc. etc.
The US is regarded as an unsophisticated sucker with a printing press by much of Europe.
Ukraine should be be forced to require such “help” from Europe…see how that goes with the European printing press controllers. Europe feels uneasy with an aggressive Russia on its eastern border? Understandable….now pay for it.
The normal ratio of any type of foreign aid is at least 60% to the foreign elites, 40% to the cause.
Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Romania are EU members, they share a border with Ukraine.
There’s the Ukraine-European Union Agreement of 2012.
Also the (DCFTA) Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area.
Ukraine is also a priority partner within the “Eastern Partnership” and the (ENP) “European Neighborhood Policy”.
Seems to be a European war financed by the US taxpayer.
Pretty soon other nations will be begging for someone to invade so they can get such a deal.
The Grand Duchy of Fenwick.
Not 1 penny of my tax money to ANY foreign land!
Do your own fighting! Leave my hard earned dough alone!
Write and back your own checks Volodomyr. Don’t start a war and then seek backers.
It’s ALWAYS about the money…
…Volodymyr Zelenskyy needs a Putin delivered enema…in the form of a cruise missile.
What a fraud this Ukraine government is!!!!
They (Ukraine) are forcing Biden to “pay up” for all the $$$$$ they supplied to Biden and the handlers of their bio-labs. It’s down and out BLACKMAIL.
If you’re gonna be anti Semitic just be upfront about it.
Putz.
Moe, Larry and Curly
We’ve reached the point where they launder $7 billion and people yawn. The number of dollars that are slushed around is so large, even trillions don’t faze people. More little packages for friends of friends. The US is a Louis Vuitton store on a Friday night.
In Chicago.
Is it just me or does that look like Borat in the middle? There’s something about that guy and this whole idea of throwing money to the Zelensky government that doesn’t pass the sniff test. Sound like a washing machine to the “Big Guy” to me. God have mercy on the innocent people of both Ukraine and the United States. There is real suffering going on and it’ ain’t happening with the leadership – that’s for damn sure.
Can’t stand that beggar Zelensky.
I think we’re supporting the taliban government too.
Another waste of money. Business as usual.
He’s worse than our local panhandlers outside the local Whole Foods store …
Translation: “We got the goods on you devil-worshipping, kiddie-raper Elites. So cough up the dough, or we tell the world what we know.”
“Good business is where you find it.”
If Zelenskyyi’jyj demanded $5B for a wall on the Mexico border I might change my tune on Ukraine.
…the three “men” in that picture are tools of the Davos Man…nothing more, nothing less.
Has anyone seen a number for how much taxpayer money is going towards funding the millions of people illegally crossing the southern border. Yeah me neither.
“The Ukraine government request/demand is just so matter-of-factly stated as if it’s just another day in the life of a group of people who have no concept they are discussing the distribution of your earnings.”
Ukraine has proven gas reserves of one-trillion cubic meters, the second highest in Europe. Would it be unreasonable to pledge some part of this massive asset against the military aid they are receiving?
https://hir.harvard.edu/ukraine-energy-reserves/
I do seem to recall a leader saying how stupid it was that we didn’t keep the oil in Iraq . . .
Ukraine holds the blackmail card in its deck. Our corrupt politicians have, ‘sucker’ written across their foreheads. The American people will be eating one and a half to two meals per day as the norm.
You are so right, SD! Every time I go grocery shopping or stop at the pump, I am positively livid. I try not to talk or txt anyone for a few hours b/c I’ll rant. Just walking down the aisles in the stores pisses me off. There is 100%, absolutely no excuse for the mess we’ve been forced to endure. I hate the dems.
Now lets not be divisive.
Hate the Rinos too.
The Uniparty couldn’t flail without two corrupt wings.
Wow, what a frickin grifter. Every 3rd world despot country in the world should just get Russia to attack it.And walla ,Uncle Sam will foot the bill and provide unlmited military hardware and income to bleed Russia/US dry.
I believe movies have been made on that premise.
A must watch video which includes Scott Ritter. Worth every viewing second.
Scott Ritter is the bomb.
inspector.
Says Finland is playing with fire.
Great interview.
I think NATO is dead, it just doesn’t realize it yet, perhaps it’s in Zombie mode right now, trying to absorb more countries despite dooming them in the process.
Ended up watching the full 2 hours…could not leave it. Very good.
Since I retired, I work part time at a Truck Driving school. They get people there from all around the world. The Nepalese just want to drive. The ones from Yemen and Somalia are glad they made it here. Same goes for almost all South Americans, except the Puerto Ricans. They are always mad. The Russians are scammers lol! And then comes the Ukrainians . These people demand one on one training, even if they didn’t pay for it. You HAVE to explain, 5 times, to them a maneuver. Their patience is almost nil. And it’s all the instructors fault, always. They are arrogant and boring and I avoid them at all costs! TBH, I am part Ukrainian and part Russian. So there’s that. And BTW……we don’t owe them squat!!!
Now tell me why the h e l l the US is importing people and then having to train them to drive trucks?
Why aren’t we training our own youth to drive?
We used to employ AMERICANS to drive. In the 1970s truckers were heroes. Convoy, Teddy Bear, Give Me 40 Acres, were all hits. Then there were the Smokey and the Bandit Movies.
None of the truckers who were dads to my friends in high school were foreigners. Not one.
Picture above; The three stooges
Y’all got this backwards. Don’t blame the employee, blame the Boss.
When the DC Syndicate wants $5 Billion for their Swiss accounts, they order their employee Zelensky to ask for $10 billion. (Or whatever their percentage is. Probably more than 50%.)
Our Government of Occupation is robbing the Treasury blind. Zelensky is just their tool.
In every generation there comes a time when the Baby is forced from the nest into adulthood! Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the time is now for you and Ukraine. Let’s see what ya other than a mouthful of give me and a handful of want. Good luck, do not call us(a).
Wow. A chosenite sacrificing Whites to extort billions. Who could’ve ever foreseen something like this??
democracy died since Hillary and Madeline Albright arranged kill Iraq to Syria, Wesley Clark code it 7 countries 5 years =12 year plan include Rumsfeld kill Iraq to Syria wasting trillions of taxes

They forget to put PER MONTH on that sign he’s holding.
LUDICROUS, at any rate!
Weapons and ammo, yes. Cash – absolutely not!
LOL. US politicians are used to extorting money from other govts, not the other way around!!
Speaking of money. On April 15, 2022 the exchange rate (using the KITCO site) showed it would take 82.25 Russian Rubles to equal $1.00 USD, today, April 25, 2022 it shows 75.7750 Russian Rubles equals $1.00 USD.
Interesting how FJB’s boycott of all things Russian is helping boost their currency. Who was it that coined the phrase to never underestimate the ability of FJB to “F” things up? Whoever said that should have their quote emblazoned in one of those famous online quote sites.
My mother always taught me to be truthful, no matter the circumstance.
Her reasoning was simple: A lie requires constant bolstering and will disturb your mind when you try to fall asleep.
The truth stands on its own, forever, and will never disturb your conscience or your sleep.
What filthy liars and phonies all of these bastards in this pic are.
Phony liars. Repeat after me …. Phony liars, Phony liars, Phony liars, etc.
Let’s Go Vlady, clap-clap, Lets go Vlady !!
Zelensky talks about how great cocaine is.
“very important for social and humanitarian responsibilities of our state to our people.””
Meanwhile, POTATUS is diverting VA employees to help with the massive influx of illegal aliens once Title 42 is removed.
All the better to neglect the Veterans, my dear.
Mightn’t this be considered more blackmail? Give us more money and we won’t divulge the Biden money laundering operation.
Ukraine has been at the center of corrupting influence here at home for quite a while.
Why?
And why has not installed occupant worked hard to bring the warring parties to the table for peace talks?
I wash my hands of it all and refuse to feel shame or guilt.
This is just a pure money laundering thug thizzle operation. Everyone is getting their cut.
Thank you, Sundance. My thoughts, also. Who is going to help Americans when Biden drives us into famine or an economy built on manufactured paper billions? We can’t help others, especially a country known for it’s corrupt monetary policies. There’s a reason Hunter and Joe spent so much time and had such an enormous interest in Ukraine.
It’s not a matter of who will help America.
It’s a matter of who will help themselves to America.
How do we help ourselves when we are being robbed blind and the money handed to Ukraine on a silver platter? And purposely starving the American people is crossing the Rubicon. This is going to get serious. These scumbags will not go gently into that good night.
They will ship what food we produce to China, or wherever, to prop up the currency they destroy on a daily basis while we starve. If shelves really go empty and we can’t feed our kids all civility goes out the window. Throw sand in the machine big time. Make sure DC is scared and hungry.
