This is getting seriously out of hand. On top of the $14 billion already appropriated for Ukraine assistance, Joe Biden is now asking for a supplemental budget allocation of an additional $33 billion for Ukraine. Good grief, that’s almost $50 billion in aid, plus the billions in distributed weapons.
Biden is asking for U.S. taxpayers to fund the budget, salaries and pension obligations of the Ukraine government. Biden made his request in a letter [SEE HERE] to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
[…] “I am writing to provide you with my request for fiscal year (FY) 2022 emergency supplemental funding for critical security and economic assistance to Ukraine.
I appreciate the Congress’ continued bipartisan support for Ukraine, NATO, and other partner countries affected by Russia’s War in Ukraine. My Administration is committed to providing the Ukrainian people the assistance they need. Our assistance to date has made a difference on the battlefield, helping Ukraine win the battle for Kyiv.
This $33.0 billion request for additional funding and authority builds on the Congress’ supplemental appropriation of $13.6 billion on March 15, 2022, and seeks to address immediate and near-term security and economic needs. Additional security assistance will put urgently needed equipment into the hands of Ukraine’s military and police, including ammunition, armored vehicles, small arms, demining assistance, and unmanned aircraft systems.
Economic assistance will provide Direct Budget Support to provide rapid, flexible funds to assist the Government of Ukraine.” (read more)
Joe Biden wants U.S. taxpayers, those who are struggling to pay our own bills, to fund the government of Ukraine? In case anyone is not up on current events, we are broke.
I literally cannot afford to heat my home with oil at $5.70 a gallon.
I can barely afford to drive my car to work, to see clients with the cost of gas at over $4.20/ gal.
Groceries have skyrocketed and my NY property taxes are up over 7% even though the state is flush with Federal CVD money.
This is beyond arrogance- it is absolute CONTEMPT for the citizens of this once great Republic.
Long past time for a gigantic F***K JOE BIDEN and the entire Federal Government.
I know too many people who are armed, fed up and dangerous. Many have been backed into a corner where they feel they have nothing more to lose. Many can’t pay their mortgage or taxes.
Does even one person in the Junta have any idea what’s going to happen one of these days when the sleeping giant that is the American People wake up? (not woke) IT IS COMING.
Seneca: If it’s not being presumptuous, I’m gonna put you down as a “No” for more Ukraine funding 🙂
This 100%, the fed up are many.
Is it any wonder our government considers domestic terrorists the greatest threat to “our Democracy” … its almost as if they fully understand what they are creating via their soul crushing policies. They are literally CREATING the threat they claim to fear most
As they surely knew they would.
Was in store and was asked, “where are these traitors to America expected to hide? ”
Did not have an answer.
Why not leave that financial burden for RUS to clean up?
The Ukraine War Is A Racket
“War is a racket, wrote US Maj. General Smedley Butler in 1935. He explained: “A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”
He wasn’t lying. Raytheon, along with Lockheed Martin and countless other weapons manufacturers are enjoying a windfall they have not seen in years. The US has committed more than three billion dollars in military aid to Ukraine. They call it aid, but it is actually corporate welfare: Washington sending billions to arms manufacturers for weapons sent overseas.
Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes recently told a meeting of shareholders that:
“Everything that ‘s being shipped into Ukraine today, of course, is coming out of stockpiles, either at DOD or from our NATO allies, and that’s all great news. Eventually we’ll have to replenish it and we will see a benefit to the business.”
Former Warsaw Pact countries now members of NATO are in on the scam as well. They’ve discovered how to dispose of their 30-year-old Soviet-made weapons and receive modern replacements from the US
War is a racket, to be sure. The US has been meddling in Ukraine since the end of the Cold War, going so far as overthrowing the government in 2014 and planting the seeds of the war we are witnessing today.

$14 billion and counting: the D.C. war machine feasts on Ukraine
Step aside, COVID Mania. The military industrial machine is back in the saddle.
This chart shows the countries pledging most arms/weapons transfers to Ukraine, Feb 24 to Mar 27, 2022 (in billion U.S. dollars).
Blinken & Austin (who served on the board of Raytheon prior to his appointment) promised Zelensky $700 mil in military aid. Turns out $391 mil of it is actually going to US allies to buy replacements (from US defense contractors) for old equipment donated to Ukraine.
The grift that keeps on grifting
https://dossier.substack.com/p/4-billion-and-counting-the-dc-war
We went off the gold standard in 1971 for adjusting our trade balances. We just went to funny money economics. Instead of balanced trade we took to the notion that making other countries rich to compete against us was a really good idea.
Sound money was in the Constitution, but we just crumpled that silly little document up and threw it in the trash.
Now we just print evil money which is used to commit evil against us.
We lived high on the hog at the expense of our children’s future. Now the future is here, and your children will inherit the nothing they so well deserve.
We can deflect what horrible stewards we were by pretending to care about what children are taught in schools.
Extremely bitter and hostile comment: “Your children will inherit the nothing they so well deserve.” Who do you think you are? Your brand of negativity tells me a lot about you.
The children are the future.
I clearly point out that correct measures should have been taken 50 years ago. The adults were the stewards of their future. I am telling you what is to come. I had nothing to do with it. Don’t get mad at me for pointing out you reap what is sown.
Anger misdirected does not change what was done. I could lay it all out on the table for you to clearly see and I would be rejected by 95% of the people. That means I do not care what you think. I am not a slave to your thoughts. I am free. Not caring what you think of me should not be confused to mean I am not a caring person. The reason I post is because I care.
Tell us then, if you were able to foresee all this, good for you. As anyone can see, citizens have very little to do with the life our politicians give us. We now know they have lied and cheated all along. We adults are awake now and still cannot get the elected officials to even pick up their phones!
No, you are not awake. Woken people could see that 100 Senators violated their oath of office by holding an unconstitutional impeachment trial.
Love is an impediment to freedom.
Because people love Trump and because Trump will not call the Senators out, the people will not question it. Nobody will write about it because they do not want to be cancel cultured by Trump lovers. Democrats will not speak of it because half of them were democrats.
Trump is controlled but nobody can see it but me.
Yet it is my fault that people will not speak when the constitution is violated right in front of their faces. I am about ready to move to Russia because Americans cannot be expected to save themselves.
So first shame on us for being (if we are indeed) white, now shame on us for living as hard working Americans? You must be a lib.
Ukraine becomes another Puerto Rico for the United States!
Ugggh … I fear you are spot on
So, Biden, etc..want to add global food aid to this Ukraine funding request.
They want to send our food to other countries due to the famine they are creating.
How many of y’all have been waiting for this?
FJB

Biden is already sending our Oil Reserves outside of the country. Why not food, money and weapons? Somebody needs to stop this fool.
Mitch McConnell will stop him! Wait. He’s aiding and abetting Bidinh’s proxy war against anti-LGBTQIA2s+ Putin
Well, Trump did hurt their cash flow by having NO WARS during his term. So, They are making up for lost time –SARC!
That’s the problem … Biden is their cover – nothing more.
The unknowns running the real whitehouse are just that – unknown – I classify them as “Soros and his Committee of Evil” just to put a “name” on the users of the Biden autopen … but … they are unknown and exactly the way they want it to be.
When everything comes crashing down – and it will – it will be the braindead props fault … and the “unknowns” will escape unscathed.
Bernie Madof was an amateur.
Its getting out of hand. Ok. I guess no big deal then.
Oh look , its almost Mayday.
Putin is killing two birds with one stone – both Ukraine and USA.
Xi must be laughing his azz off.
if we get in a position to save America again. any country that aided this idiot needs to have the NEW CIA sent their to assassinate them.
So is the WEF. Think about it. Putin isn’t a stupid man. Someone is being hoaxed.
The blackmail isn’t going to end with Zelensky’s removal. The next entity to inherit the dirt isn’t going to let it go to waste.
We have a very serious problem, and the only solution is for the truth to out. Or mass killings of corrupt Americans, until there is no one left to blackmail.
The globalist puppet masters of the Demented Fraud couldn’t care less what the American public thinks. None of them will stop the rape of US tax payer funds that only furthers their corrupt cash kickbacks
Xi’s silence speaks volumes … as he experiments with imprisoning the world in their high rise hives.
Biden seems to be doing a pretty good job too!
.
Everyone, please: before the week is out, make at least one phone call to your Senator or Congresser, and write a letter. There is something more here at stake than the money.
.
No sh*t Sherlock!
i dont care anymore.
come 2023 rallys is the only way – when BIDEN SHOOTS everyone in it through ORDERS. that will be the Self Defence of this country until completion.
While we’re writing or calling our representatives, we might ask why the U.S. is developing biological weapons in Ukraine, on Russia’s doorstep. Did we really think that this would not provoke them.
Yes! Call •Your • Ferengi • NOW!!!
Deeply spaced representatives are standing by …. laughing!
They immediately throw them in the trash – the congress person or senator probably never even looks at them. They don’t care. Total waste of time.
if UKRAINE FELL… what impact on the world would it have? on the United States would it have?
if Ukraine fell… what impact on the US oligarchs laundering would it have?
WhiteBoard: Ukraine already fell. That’s the reason for the massive funding freak-out.
10% for “The Big Guy”
More like 15% now. Inflation-adjusted.
The TRUE inflation rate requires 34.9% increase to The Big Guy
Heh, just round it up to 40% for easier accounting.
/s
10% to “The Big Guy”! How much is Obama. Kerry, Romney etc. getting? Re: the previous “defense materials” such as anti-tank missiles, and other arms, how much of a kick back are certain politicians getting from the defense industry?
Approximately, a whole lot…
Not just kickbacks.
Check the stock portfolios of Congress, their spouses, and their next of kin.
this is how the USSR collapsed. To think Congress wouldn’t give Trump any money he wanted.
Trump wasnt going to spend the money “wisely”.
The Uniparty and its associates lost significant earnings thanks to four years of Trump.
Its got to make up for that lost income.
I am livid. Remember when they said that 6 billion was too much money for our border wall?
Yes, I do remember.
Yes … and I remember Mitch McConnell said it …
Why yes it was…..DeepState had “better” plans for that money.
The Republican politicians should all agree with Biden that the money should go to Ukraine but that he should double it to €100 billion and this should all come by reducing support to those states that support Biden. That way it would cost nothing extra.
People laughed at the comment made a few days ago when the President of Ukraine demanded paychecks for Ukrainians:
AVG Wage in Ukraine; $2,000/month
Population of Ukraine; 40 million
Monthly demand = $80 Billion
Even if one assumes a household of 4 folks per $2,000 salary that is still $20 Billion/month + 10% more to be divided among ALL the BIG GUYS.
Geee … I was not too far off, with that one.
Little Z might be better off with Rubles sitting in the National Bank when this is all over.
By comparison, NASA’s budget is $24.04 billion for fiscal year 2022.
Zelensky must have all the receipts and evidence that could destroy these grifters.
Of that I am certain Alli.
Or is Zelensky a big snake himself?
Payoff? Ridiculous if people go for it. I don’t trust either President.
You are financing another country and you don’t know it. Wake up!
Its so scary!
Half asleep.
Can we at least get this old fool a little boost of something… anything… before we roll him out there? Spoon feed him a 5-Hour Energy maybe?
You can only pump him full of adderall so often.
“… and if you take more of those, you will get an overdose”
Geez Louise…….!
As bad as this is it’s nothing compared to the overwhelming silence from the Republicans. There should be a non-stop roar to remove the dementia patient.
Does it make sense now why the US Dollar is rising?
Germany votes to send heavy weapons.
watch the USD go up, things are becoming more serious. Investors are going into the Dollar because S**t is getting real. The USA is Surrounded by water so investors globally see this as a safe haven.
we all better start making noise and call for cooler heads! Capital flows begin exporting to safe havens when something is a foot. The Dollar rise is very telling of what investors are concerned about.
Wake up!!!
Look at the Dollar index on a daily graph here.

Damn, the ptb are going to make sure they stuff the ukrainian cookie jars to almost bursting, just in case they lose power. I wouldn’t doubt if every entrenched bureaucrat, politician and their families carry a green, Ukrainian Cookie Jar Credit Card. I think I write lyndsey graham, (yes he’s my rep), and ask for a UCJCC application.
Ukraine is the last big grift before the November Election. All hands want in on the pie!
Here are THE ELEPHANTS which we talk about, but which the MSM refuses to acknowledge:
How much MORE dirt does Zelensky have on the Mafia Biden Family?
Not as much as the CIA which runs that graft-hole.
Loads of dirt, I bet.
And how much of the swag is going to be divided amongst the
European Union branch offices ( of said mafia).
Different countries, similar behaviors. Also, need us to keep
them afloat due to the Russian energy costs.
Imagine how many more walls we could build on our own border to protect us from invasion for that’s exactly what it is. More border patrol agents. More removal agents. In my80’s still working and paying taxes and I’m fed up with all of this. It’s sickening!!!!!
With a commie in charge that point is moot
Biden apparently thinks he’s President of the World….and everything will be funded by the US taxpayers until there is nothing left What does he care – he got rich doing nothing for the USA. $(%*%*$(!!!
On the other hand….maybe those choir boys in Ukraine are holding the hammer over his head since they already bought him and his depraved son.
But they could not find a few billions for the Wall.
FJB, f them all.
As if I couldn’t hate this pos and his minions any more. God I miss our America First President more than I can express!
Tell dementia Joe to F-off…
…and FJB
These people need to go. If the Republicans are not going to resist the tyrants…then 150+ million Americans need to get off their arse and storm the damn palace!!!!
Send us the billions we want!
Or else, we tell the American public about your dealings in Ukraine.
It will certainly send your surviving son to jail!
OH HELL NO!!!!!!!!
Is there anybody left in Washington who actually cares about American citizens? Anybody!?!?!?!
Do you mean in a non piggy bank sense ?
In any sense. All of their actions say that they hate us and want us dead.
Yeah, where the heck is Q? We need some cryptic coded messages for all the flim flam artists to decipher. Because everyone knows, Trump has this! He and the “real” military are on it!
What in the hell are you talking about?
Bonnie forgot the/sarc tag. It was funny/sad.
When you’re already bankrupt it really doesn’t matter how much more money you print.
Will anyone in the press corps ask, “why not spend this money on OUR border”?
I guess you forgot the corrupt press hates the wall. After all they are all commies too
Those Ukrainians must have even more on Biden than we thought.
Hey turncoat xiden how about you get your little group in the White House and all the Democrats in the Senate and Congress and especially you and clean out your bank accounts. Sent it directly to Ukraine and don’t forget you son, we don’t want Ukraine to suffer especially funding their pension system.
I think they are giving all this funding so Ukraine can funnel it back to the DNC campaigns.
It goes to many “Republicans “as well. They are almost all on the same team and that team is playing against us!
Less than 10 Republicans are going to vote against this.
But those votes will strategically ensure it goes through.
Greedy Old Possums got this.
Damn them.
I was talking about the House.
I misread it anyway, you said against and I was thinking the standard faux unified front against except for select exceptions to tip the balance where required.
No argument.
We need someone from the candy assed Republican party to explain why they are allowing this train wreck to continue day after day with out narry a whimper! I want to hear why no committee hearings, no sternly written letters not puffy chested pontificating Senator can say he or she is trying to corral this admin. b/4 our country is unable to function. we do not have til 2024, we are clearly headed for the ditch much sooner. I despise all of the corrupt sniveling feckless fools hiding under rona and mitchs skirts. Grow some balls and defend us for once!
Our country bears an uncanny resemblance to a big rig headed downhill with no brakes and no escape ramp.
What concerns me is nothing we have experienced since the coup would be happening if the 2022 election wasn’t rigged in their favor?
The 2020 election proved to MAGA that the election system is rigged. 2022 could well prove it to all but the mentally ill.
The criminal JoeBama regime is trying to launder as much money as they can through their Ukraine laundromat before Putin cooks their Golden Goose.
The Democrats are sure building up their slush fund. Someone needs to follow the trail to see where this cash actually ends up.
Not one Republican even questioning this expenditure.
We need some intervention here. This is beyond any crises in history of this country.
Sounding more and more like extortion. And this is a very expensive pay off to keep secrets.
True! That is EXACTLY why he is where he is.
“Well son of a bitch.” I suggest we all let our voces be heard via the Capital Hill switchboard.
“I’m sorry, the number you are trying to reach has been disconnected.”
Are we the only ones that see this???? The cabal is laundering as much of our money as they can before it goes tits up.
Yes we are. The vast majority of the country is focusing on the entirely more important Depp/Heard trial.
Meanwhile, the McCuck Brothers…. McConnell and McCarthy…. gleefully let this bullshit happen.
$33 billion? The McCuck’s would give $50 billion if they could.
Well, $50 billion would get them a larger commission.
