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.
Wow … that would be a really BIG “kickback” for the “Big Guy”.
Send the print press would be easier, just like US print what you need just make sure 10% goes to Big guy.
I think they are upping the provocation … big time. Putin is not playing their game. I think they want Russia to move west and widen the conflict. The Biden regime knows that Putin’s goals in Ukraine are limited. Heck, Putin says so repeatedly. Mainly, secure the independence of the Donbas region and the safety of its Russian people which will allow a neutral buffer between Russia and the west. Russia has been clear on this, their SMO is methodical and careful not to kill civilians.
But now with the influx of weapons from the west, Russia has been forced to destroy infrastructure that they were initially avoiding. They’ve started disabling rail supply lines in western Ukraine and bombing supply depots located in western cities. Biden’s controllers want Russia to make a mistake, a big one, that they can exploit.
Absolutely! This is all about trying to remove Christian, nationalist Putin. They (the collaboration of deep state, big industry, and political DC swamp, along with the Davos crew) got rid of Trump, now it’s Putin’s turn.
Funny how these folks think Xi is a fellow traveler.
Of course, there will be a cost. https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2022/04/to-remind-how-this-ukraine-war-started.html
Klain, Blinken and Jake Sullivan are ecstatic that Russian Orthodox Christians and Ukrainian Orthodox Christians are killing each other!
They get the blacks to fight each other, and kill each other over drugs, and with gangs.
I’m sure they use a similar playbook to get the Caucasians to kill each other.
Nah this cuts deeper. No one acts like this unless they are scared of something. Hopefully you understand what that it is by now. It’s laughable that our media and politicians are so gung-ho now about protecting a white settlement (with Nazis lol) from another white Slavic settlement. Point is that’s not what is driving this. Our government and PTB don’t give a shit about race or culture. They only care about agenda.
“Funny how these folks think Xi is a fellow traveler.”
Xi is a communist, but he is a NATIONALIST communist. Two of the great historical strategic intelligence failures of the last century were the failures not to see the Soviet and CCP transitions to nationalist communism. It’s not that the spearpoint analysts failed so much as decisionmakers couldn’t make the cognitive transition. They were told; they just didn’t want to believe it.
‘Our’ ruling class hates ALL nationalists: nationalist capitalists, nationalist socialists, and nationalist communists. Nationalism allows a people to organize for collective self defense. The internationalist predators, above all things, do NOT want this for anyone in the world. Individuals who have neither tribe nor nation are prey animals in a herd of one, just how the internationalist likes it.
It is rather hard to see Xi as a nationalist, when he is so willing to starve and torture his own people, and rape and ruin the land.
No, I’d say he’s a commie tyrant, whose only loyalty is to himself, and whose only goal is more power.
He is loyal to his exalted constituency, the Han Chinese. Not to Mongols, Uiygars, or any quasi-Chinese subgroups.
The Chinese are one of the most racist groups on earth.
Sounds like you’re going way the other way here. China is NOT our friend.
Perhaps not, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
No. Recognizing that others look out for their own nation (their own collective people/civilization) is not the same thing as being loyal to their nation. All other nations are by definition foreign, including our civilizational parents the English, Scots, Germans, etc. Some are friendly, some are neutral, and some are hostile. The degree of culture kinship is usually fairly well correlated with genetic similarity, because culture (behavior) is downstream of biology.
It is mistake to think that other nationalists are automatically friends of other nationalists. Everyone is looking out for their own. Also, in exactly the same way (this mistake conservatives make ALL THE TIME) conservatives of other peoples are not automatically friends of American conservatives. Chinese communists are actually EXTREMELY conservative, but they are interested in conserving THEIR civilization, not yours. Mexican conservatives are interested in conserving THEIR civilization, not yours. Canadian conservatives are interested in conserving THEIR civilization, not yours. We can find common interests with them and work collectively towards those interests, but their will never be a perfect overlap in objectives. No one else is going to look out for us, but us.
So they aren’t actually colonizing Africa after all?
Not following through on plans to destroy America with biologics and take full control of this continent?
The New Silk Noose isn’t on the march?
If you are looking for a critical overlooked component of the flavor of Communism practiced in China it is that it is intensely and brutally racist, grievance bound, and comfortable with genocide, to include enthusiastically developing genetic weapons to destroy and enslave entire peoples.
Xi has his eyes on the globe and his claws in most of it, I’m afraid your semantic insight isn’t going to change that.
WEF et.al. are our enemy but Putin is an ex-KGB and knows what he’s doing. Let’s not romance the guy here. Our government is utterly corrupt but we have to stop searching in the wrong places for a savior.
So … Bindinh corrected himself by saying the sanctions were never expected to work. Will he also correct himself after another $33B is given to Ukraine by saying … “the $33B was never expected to work”?
“I think they are upping the provocation … big time.”
Oh, I thought you meant with the citizens of the USA.
They are doing that too.
A twofer.
Like this highly suspect reported event?
Two missiles hit Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv as United Nations chief Antonio Guterres meets with President Volodymyr Zelensky
That this supposedly transpired as the UN Secretary General is in town is simply too pat.
“ Biden’s controllers want Russia to make a mistake, a big one, that they can exploit. “
That would be the CIA.
If anyone is going to make a mistake it would be the CIA.
Based on prior experience.
The world’s regime-changers.
Me, this looks like a money laundering scheme, that the likes of history has never seen. Our entire government is involved, suitcases are being packed with Benjamins as I type. They don’t care about Putin or Ukraine, neither does Ukraine, they are all enriching themselves with this “war”. Then we have FJB, he is being blackmailed, along with much of our congress and senate that are profiting as Biden works to keep the dirt under the rug. Just my take. It is always about the Benjamins.
I agree, they are milking this cow for money laundering right in front of us. Enough is enough.
If I do call my Rep and Senators I might call them out on the money laundering.
There may be elements in western government that want escalation si I agree with your post but I think there is a simpler explanation.
I think Zelensky is blackmailing Joe Biden directly.
Only one making a mistake is the US Government.
“Biden’s controllers want Russia to make a mistake, a big one, that they can exploit.” Bingo!
Watch for a false flag attack–possibly we will be told a chemical weapons attack–blaming Russia as the perpetrator.
..and GOP is all in on the scam.
“Our side” is repeat with idiots ….. it is why we are where we are.
Idiots and those knowingly and explicitly who are in on this scheme.
DC has openly revealed itself to be a vast criminal enterprise and flaunting it.
And DC doesnt care if we know it either.
RINOs are a greater threat to this nation than the openly Marxist Democrats ever were.
At least with the Democrats you know they want to destroy this country.
The RINOs are waving the flag while they sell us out and stab us in the back.
100% correct
In that sense, aren’t we just as stupid as the Democrat voters? We need to get together as American citizens, and kick ALL their butts from here to Ukraine!
All one big Uniparty!
Getting a “middlemans” cut of the aid for handling and processing in one form or another to get richer at our expense.
They spend and we are expected to pay for their generousity.
Tom Cotton has ruined any chance he ever had to win a GOP presidential primary.
Broke and getting broker by the day. I have said for weeks we may just as well send Ukraine a money printing press at this rate. They blown through $14 BILLION in just over a month.
Yeah, my plan was the 2 fingered Mickey too!
Yeah…..about that 14 billion.
How much of that really gets to the military or public for the requsted aid?
Half, or more, probably goes directly to the accounts of politicians and their cronies here and in the Ukraine.
Someone is making out hand over fist with this “aid”.
And it isnt the average Ukrainian.
What’s the difference. If not Ukraine Biden would just flush that money down another toilet.
Another toilet doesn’t have the potential to start World War three.
Why doesn’t Putin just release all the dirt he has on Biden and destroy him for once and for all? More importantly, why doesn’t he release the dirt he has on ALL of the scum in DC and destroy the entire US government structure? It would be a win/win, for him and the world.
Why now..Putin holds a Royal Flush.
Many here are following pro Russian blogs etc and see that the MSM is all lies, all the time.
IMO and an opinion shared by a number of fellow Canadians Putin is the leader of the Christian Free World.
Who would have “thunk it”
Cheers!
Fantastic!!
Cheers!
The Bible happens to agree with that assessment, if I’m not mistaken. We allowed fascists to exploit our freedoms and now they have infiltrated all USA institutions.
Say what you will about Putin, but Russia isn’t caving in to the UN’s New/ One World Order. Unlike USA, Russia at least protects it’s national sovereignty.
That is what I am praying he does and does soon. Probably has all the dirt on the Presidential steal.
Anyone that that is a threat to their evil globalist scheme is relentlessly attacked.
President Trump, Vladimir Putin, and more. You all know who the globalists hate and hunt.
Yes
Why would he? Putin is not our friend. He didn’t unleash the goods in his possession to help Donald Trump either before or after election, when folks were waiting for him to come to the rescue.
Putin is pro-Russia and pro-Putin. There is no reason for him to sacrifice his leverage. Biden has been a gift to Putin. Under Biden, Putin has been able to invade Ukraine, and Ukraine has been able to shake down the USA. We all lose, and Putin gains.
At this point might be cheaper to just give every Ukrainian a million dollars so they can migrate to the US.
Actually, it would be a whole lot cheaper to just let Russia take it all. Ukraine can be Russia’s Puerto Rico instead of our since we already have one. No?
How about if Biden ordered Z to negotiate an end to this senseless war. 2 clowns in the same circus.
Seems like he’s ordering him not to.
Give PR to Ukraine, and lets be done with it.
If they migrate to the U.S., they will be on every welfare program and benefit that we have, even if you gave each Ukrainian a million dollars. The people who are fleeing from Ukraine will have a much better life than they ever knew existed!
They might actually make good citizens. At least they are European, and have somewhat of a Christian heritage.
They might be grateful to be in a free country. Unless, of course, we are completely screwed by the time Joe gets done with us.
Our feral govt is so efficient they could do it for half that price.
Damn, dont give em any new ideas.
The US swamp government is being extorted.
Also, how many countries are dumping outdated weapons into Ukraine and looking for Uncle Sucker to replace them with state-of-the-art?
And somehow I can’t help but think a lot of the equipment will end up in Russian hands. First the Taliban, now this.
The madness never ends under the Dems !
It isnt supposed to.
We are to live in perennial Leftist madness.
Since he cares so much why doesn’t Zelensky sell his Miami mansion?
Because, as a politician, he prefers to people spend for his nation’s needs.
Actually he insists.
The Ukrainians have Biden and Hunter by the cojones. Zelenskyy et al have the details of the Biden families money grubbing in Ukraine.
Play ball or pay Joe.
Storm the House and Senate. This cannot pass!!! 202 225-3121
NO NO No again!! The USA has no more money for Ukraine or any other country!! I posted couple days ago I am half Ukrainian & do feel for the devastation In Ukraine but this pResident Vegetable has got to stop this money giveaway.
Joe Joe Joe… Joe is a bad bad man.
The two party congress keeps giving it to him.
But… It just one side or scapegoat.
Ukrainian elites are using the billions of American dollars
from Biden to buy luxurious mansions in other countries.
American Dollars have made Ukrainian elites very rich.
And quite a few American elite and DC pols have profited from Ukraine’s machinations. Gotta get their skim.
Ukraine is a giant money laundering machine. Corruption reigns.
Trump was impeached for poking at Ukrain’s corruption.
Right amazing how well the deep state hides their cash flows. They successfully staged a coup in 2020 in order to stop Trump from exposing them.
And that is in addition to the BILLION$ in cash he wants for the worthless vaccines to be shipped to other countries, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers.
Who wrote that letter? It surely wasn’t Diaper Joe. He doesn’t know today from yesterday. Or does he? I wonder if he is just playing stupid and demented and the joke is on us.
Nooo…..
If the Ukrainian “public service” isn’t working for food aid and electricity in these troubled times, Ukraine is a fraud.
Ukraine’s total war with Russia apparently hasn’t filtered down to the bureaucrats.
It’s the best hint so far.
Just say no.
Maybe a Million Man March to Capitol Hill with torches, pitchforks and rope would be more effective.
/S
No way. Some black Capitol Policeman will shoot you dead and get away with it.
Only if there are actual hangings, with an ocassional draw and quarter thrown in.
Republicans are in on it
We are screwed
When it gets to be too much,just think of them roasting in hell forever, demons tearing off their flesh, fire and flesh burning forever, with every torture know to man and devil.
Then relish every minute of that thought. I do.
Poland has announced military maneuvers from May 1 throughout the month. According to multiple Russian sources, Poland is conferring with the Biden administration about plans to annex western Ukraine under the guise of “historical re-unification”. Polish troops would then occupy western Ukraine to “protect” it.
Since Poland is NATO, we could be looking at world war that is a direct result of Biden’s shadow government interfering with, inciting, and sustaining a failed, corrupt Ukraine.
There is a lot more going on. But all of this, including the massive spending, is because Ukraine is doing so very badly in the war.
Latest from The Sakar: http://thesaker.is/sitrep-operation-z-16/
Maybe…Putin is preparing for a war. Russia will win it..count on it.
Russia believes ( rightly) that the West wants them dead.
Our leaders want us dead..Hilary told us, Obama too, and our Trudeau.
I believe them
A well placed nuke by Russia and the West would crack.
The Western Nations are posturing.
Count me on the side of the Russians..I know personally four very capable Canadian neighbours that are with me.
Our Trudeau has banned us from leaving the country because we are among the great un vaxxed.
Biden, Trudeau, Macron..my bet is at most each has a 20% approval rating.
A WW 3…the Western fools will get a surprise when those like me tell them to F@#k Off!
I nor my family owe them nothing.
Cheers!
“The Saker” is a fantastic read !!
Cheers!
“Poland is conferring with the Biden administration about plans to annex western Ukraine ”
BS, Belle.
Childish overexcitement is all.
I’m sure you can afford to be civil.
I try to be accurate.
Try harder.
See my comment 11:45 below
To claim Poland is planning to invade western Ukraine…..is frankly stupid.
I hope it is childish overexcitement, however this was announced by the head of the SVR, the Russian foreign intelligence service. This kind of accusation would have to have some actual data to support it before making such an announcement about other countries. It has now been reported on Russian media. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen.
According to one of Colonel McGregor discussions, this is a very dangerous time when Russia is winning and has almost achieved its goals. There are so many hysterical anti-Russia actions right now.
I see you don’t understand any more than micro incidents.
Anyone claiming there is a even a tiny, remote possibility that Russia will attack a NATO country for any reason at all is simply uninformed.
You might not understand that means Russia will be at war with the West.
Putin will never view that as an option and he will avoid it like the plague for the simple reason he can never win such a war in the longer term.
Heh, government employees are brothers and sisters in arms.
I think every government employee in the US should be willing to sacrifice half a years salary to support a fellow leech, er, Ukrainian government employee.
Or each US government employee adopt ten Ukrainian goverment employees for perennial monthly charitable support.
Do it for the children!
/s
I just contacted my Rep and let her know in no uncertain terms she had BETTER be a voice against this travesty. I promised her the same ones of us who put her ass in that office can just as easily primary her ass right back out of it.
I would respectfully ask that every Treeper here please contact your reps and give a piece of your mind on this and many other subjects.
Yeah, I know they pretty much do not listen and that is why we are in this situation currently. But that is no excuse for not demanding on a regular basis that these congresscritters listen to us, and do the work WE PAY THEM to do.
Thanks in advance.
I have written both my Senators who are RINOs. They probably won’t listen, but every try is worth the effort.
I dont even bother. My two senators are full blown communists.
Agreed. It’s not like these usurpers worry we can ever vote them out. They know they are here to stay; That is, until they outlive their usefulness to their Deep State handlers.
The request needs to die in the House before it ever reaches the Senate. Pour sunlight on your House rep. Let him or her know – WE KNOW – and we aren’t going away.
This is a good suggestion. If we all do it, they’ll listen. I’m very concerned with McCarthy leading the House down the same old path it went under Ryan, and we already know McConnell will help the left any way he can. The GOP has for years been all in on the trans grooming, CRT, and open borders garbage.
Is Joe going to tell the Ukraine government that they ain’t gettin’ the money unless they quit investigating Hunter within 6 hours?
This would be laughable, but there is nothing funny about it. The lemmings, who occupy our Congress, will likely go along with this ridiculous effort. They are being lead down the rabbit hole by literally all of the leadership on both sides of the isle.
“No joke, man.”
Look at what the regime is doing to MTG. This is what they do to anyone who has the guts to stand up to them. She and others are used as cautionary tales.
If the Republicans were unified like the Dems, this would not be happening. Rather than unifying, the Repubs join the Dems.
Is it crazy to notice that this is a Masonic number 33?
Criminal investigators say they don’t believe in coincidences.
My guess…Zelensky is blackmailing Uncle Joe. Give us money or we turn over the evidence of Hunter and the business dealings…
And a cut, albeit a little smaller, back to The Big Guy.
I am sick of the United States throwing away our money. In my opinion, our giving money, military equipment, etc. to Ukraine is the same as waging war against Russia. I have sent a number of e-mails to my congressmen and always get a standard form letter response. I feel that our elected representatives do not listen to us. If Ukraine had to handle this war on their own, it would have been over by now.
Can we stop sending money to Ukraine? How can we convince our leaders to stop their interference in the name of the American people? Spend that money on fixing our southern border!
Why would any country allow bio labs (paid for by other foreign interest) to remain on their door step when that foreign influencer is subservient to a known international “nation building” policy..
Money….money….money to the “right” parties.
HOW THE HELL IS AMERICA LETTING THIS ASSHOLE RUN THE COUNTRY OUT OF EXISTENCE!
MY GOD!! WHAT THE HELL WILL IT TAKE TO IMPEACH THIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION !!
the truth
When is enough ENOUGH? Taxation without representation is what led to the Revolutionary War. Are we not there yet?
Enough will come when our nations assets have been completely acquired by our international debtors or the highedt bidders.
DC is already owned lock stock and barrel by certain foreign interests.
Once the dollar has been totally devalued and is no longer the reserve currency there’s nothing left. No one will buy our debt. We are literally on that precipice, so again, when is enough ENOUGH????
This is what Blackmail looks like.
Please confirm Sally Yates.
This explains the media’s emphasis on riling up the public in favor of Ukraine. That was the setup and next comes the payday. Total clownworld.
Because the economy will not collapse without some help
Joe has to pay for the Ukrainian salaries, It is his payment to the blackmailers (the ones in Ukraine, not China) and the blackmailers in return won’t release how much money is being sent to him, both before this war, and now that it is happening. Can’t wait to see how much China is gonna extort for their planned invasion of Taiwan . . .
And THIS is why presidential candidates must be vetted.
Here’s the Roll Call in this (long-ish) thread:
Rs vote Nay/D’s vote Yea
Just sailing through. Has it already gone through the senate???
Biden is compromised, and should resign.
Which Republicans are pushing back on this though?
You do understand that none of this is “taxpayer’s money”?
It’s merely created with zeros on a computer as debt.
The US govt has for a long time run on the basis that it need never be “repaid”….. to itself.
A nice little straw added to the US$’s destroying camel’s back, though
At this rate it shouldnt be long before we get to that proverbial last straw, I am thinking.
Yeah, but I’m thinking the US can enjoy printing the world’s reserve currency for much longer than I believe….there is no alternative on the street. IMF SDR’s would not be used outside international trade etc.
Print baby print.
“So, as it finally turns out, grift(!) also has its price . . .”
Lol! Actually grift has always had its price.
They have so much dirt on FJB, they will empty our entire treasury out blackmailing this retard. And our government will go right along with it, as they are all feeding at the Ukrainian trough.
I said screw Ukraine from the get go.
Now they are going to be a permanent ward of the USA.
Nice job morons.
It might just as well apply for statehood as much as its costing us.
/s
Ain’t it the truth.
Why is this surprising? CTH shows pictures of numerous congress people over in Ukraine then wonders as Ukraine says pay up or we will expose you…
Those in Washington are in the midst of a blackmail scenario via the Ukrainian corrupt government.
How long will it be before the Nazi leader in Ukraine threatens the corrupt DC politicians publicly ?
Follow the money. The Dems want to get as many kickbacks as they can before the GOP sweeps the midterms and shuts down the money pipeline.
Why would the GOP shut down the money pipeline they helped create?
Truth.
Biden said himself, borrowing money from the fed doesn’t cause inflation.
FJB looks like a Charlie McCarthy doll with Soros’ hand up his butt.
Arms and bullets, yes. Cash, ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Exactly *how* would you pay? Would the U.S. Treasury direct-deposit their pension check? Into what bank? Wouldn’t they then need a U.S. Social Security number? Would they then file a U.S. tax return? Could they then vote in U.S. elections?
I literally just sent a $4,000 check to the US IRS for my 2021 taxes and this story drops. WHY? I have ABSOLUTELY NO SAY IN THIS FAKE WAR SPENDING? As Sundance said, MADNESS!
Wevare nothing but milk cows for these asshats. Might as well stop paying taxes. It will never be enough for them.
