Yes, this actually happened today. During her press briefing Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the White House doesn’t want to “define what success in Ukraine looks like,” but demands U.S. taxpayers to give them another $33 billion toward it.
A few moments later Psaki admits the money will be spent subsidizing not only Ukraine, but NATO allies who are suffering the results of inflation.
Psaki stated the Biden demand for more money “is not all for Ukraine, it’s also for some of our Eastern European partners and others to help support them during this time as well.” Wait, now we are paying to subsidize the economy of EU countries while our own economy is contracting?
Seriously, the scale of this hubris is blood boiling. First, they cannot tell us what success consists of, but give us money anyway. The first segment to watch happens at 18:15 of the video, WATCH (prompted):
TRANSCRIPT – Q Against the backdrop of the President’s announcement today and request for this $33 billion aid package, can you say: Is it the policy goal of the United States for Ukraine to defeat Russia?
MS. PSAKI: Well, look, it depends on how you — we’re not going to define that from here. That’s for the Ukra- —
Q How would you define it?
MS. PSAKI: Well, that’s for the Ukrainians to define.
What we are going to do from here is to continue to provide them with a range of security and military assistance, as is evidenced by the package that the President proposed and put forward to Capitol Hill today; to strengthen their ne- — their hand at the negotiating table; and ensure that they have the support and backing of the United States and the world.
Q Just to be clear — and I understand what you’re saying: It’s for the Ukrainians to define. But does the United States think that success has to include Russians leaving all of the new portions of Ukraine that they currently invaded?
MS. PSAKI: Again, we’re not going to define that from here, Kristen. There are a range of negotiations that may happen and may take place, and we’re just not going to get ahead of that. (read more)
…
Q And then, is there any effort, I guess — you heard this a little bit from him today talking about how Ukrainians are giving up their lives, so the money — I guess, is there anything that the White House is doing to address the concern from some Americans that this is an awful lot of money going to a foreign country when we have domestic needs at home?
MS. PSAKI: Well, I would say that we’ve also seen an incredibly heart- — heartfelt outpouring of support from the American people for the efforts of the United States to lead in standing up to Russian aggression and to stand up in favor and support of the Ukrainians.
You know, to the President, this is about American leadership in the world. It’s also about standing up for democracy versus autocracy. It’s about standing up against one foreign country invading another foreign country. And, you know, it’s about American leadership in the world.
So, we will continue to articulate that and make that clear. And that is part of the reason why the President also detailed in specificity today what all of this would go to. I mean, some of it — a great deal of it is, of course, to military assistance to fight this war, but there is funding in there, as he noted this morning, for food security and ensuring that we are addressing any food shortages around the world. There is assistance that is going into humanitarian assistance and helping the outflow of refugees. And so, it was important to him personally to lay out the specifics in his remarks this morning.
At 42:15 of the video, Psaki is asked directly why should the U.S. taxpayer be stuck paying for the pensions of Ukraine politicians? Psaki responds by saying ‘that’s who we are.” WATCH (prompted)
.
Q — to follow up on the issue of, you know, Americans being concerned about the amount of money being sent out to Ukraine: One of the things that the President outlined today in his speech was not just humanitarian assistance, but also allow pensions and social support to be paid to the Ukrainian people.
So, what would you say to the American public who says, “Okay, it’s one thing to help Ukrainian refugees with food and shelter, but why should we be paying for their pensions?”
MS. PSAKI: Well, look, I would say that we have provided a range of economic assistance, because we know that their economy has been devastated — not of their doing, because they were invaded by a foreign country.
Q But how is that —
MS. PSAKI: And they’re going — let me — let me finish. And they are going to need assistance in order to recover. We provide assistance — economic and humanitarian assistance — to a range of countries around the world because that’s part of American leadership. And so, I would say that’s the reasoning for this assistance being proposed in the package.
Looting
In a nutshell.
$33,000,000,000 to the most sophisticated USA taxpayers Laundromat on the face of the planet.
We are the worlds ATM machine
Looting followed by cannibalism. The government of the United States has become a gang of cannibals.
No! No! And, h3ll no! Not one more wasted dime to support never ending proxy wars.
I emailed my friend in Congress, please read it.
K,
I’m asking that cooler heads prevail with this Ukraine/Russia situation. If you don’t understand Capital Flows, then you should be aware that when countries begin to decline, investments flow into other safe haven countries to protect their assets, which is a normal process.
What we have here tells a very concerning story, the US Dollar index has been rising every day as investors capital, flow into our currency.
The US is surrounded by water and therefore investors feel this is a safe haven to park their assets. This is a “Tell” that we are entering into a place of no return I.e. WW3.
Study this link below on a daily chart and notice it’s ascending rise. If inflation is rising in our country alone, and we keep borrowing endlessly, you and I both know the outcome. Now what do you think investors know? Why would they invest here? Not just invest, but invest in the dollar?
The Dollar rising is not a smart investment unless something more serious is concerning them. So I ask you again, please, push for cooler heads to prevail. Especially now with Germany voting to send heavy weapons and completely blocking oil and gas imports to their country.
Are we really this ignorant?
Do we honestly have the most brain dead politicians this world has ever known?
Does no one study history anymore?
Einstein is often quoted as having said:
“I know not with what weapons WWIII will be fought, but WWIV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt governments in the world. that 33 billion will be syphoned by their politicians and kickbacks for US pols.
It will shortly be discovered that after the aid has been sent, 30 billion of it will have mysteriously disappeared.
Didn’t we give 140 billion to an Islamic nation on the almost possible maybe they won’t build a nuke?
Not “we.”
They.
Yep…no different than what happens with the trillions of dollars floating around from the goons’ domestic agenda. The Covid relief debacle is a good example.
Free money for the elected Washington politicians and their cronies.
Whata country.
Well, after all there has been a lot of revenue leakage now that Afghanistan is behind us, got to make up for it somehow, somewhere.
Just another day in the money laundering world of the global evil despots. Nothing to see here, everybody keep moving along. We will have you all in the Warsaw Ghetto shortly and don’t worry about it because we won’t liquidate the ghetto for a few months yet.
And the Republicans have their heads up their collective asses.
Even worse, they’re in on it.
The Republicans are helping plan the deal.
I wish the democrats would honestly criticize the corruption in their party like we do in ours.
🤮Because that’s the location where the corrupt pay off is made✅️
The Republicans of the GOPe have their hands in that cookie jar as well as the rest of the grifting. Time to accept they are mostly (98%) TRAITORS to the USA, The USA Constitution, and it’s citizens.
The McCuck Brothers, McConnell and McCarthy, most definitely do.
It’s about political corruption, the MIC graft, money-laundering, biological weaponry, and blackmail.
Every single citizen of the USA should be made to see that graph of aid sent to Ukraine, where the US contribution dwarfs that of Ukraine’s own European neighbors.
Yes! AND they need to understand that graph represents ONLY military funding for about 34 DAYS!
Success is every politician involved and connected associates getting a substantial commision skimmed off the top of the aid.
In actuality its the bit of aid getting skimmed of the top of the substantial grift.
Imagine if Russia and China were openly providing multi- Billions in financial aid, Military equipment, missiles etc to the Muslim extremists in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya to prolong the fight against the U.S??? How would this be viewed??? Keep in mind we invaded and destabilized the Middle East over fake WMD’s……and nobody said a word…..This is sickening….
Never once have I heard the words loans or bonds or debt instruments. It’s clear they see the Ukrsine will become a failed state unable to restart an economy more as this debacle and black hole continues.
Are we now the World Bank?
We have been for a long time. The American taxpayers are the burden bearers of the entire freaking world. We have been bridled and saddled by our own government. Time to Buck the bastards off.
Yep,
Our family feel very fortunate that the U.S. is our neighbour to the South.
( I am looking at the San Juan’s in N/W Washington St.) as I type this.
However looking back on so many of the foreign conflicts the U.S. has been involved in since the end of WW 2.
None of them were as a result of a threat to the U.S. mainland.
The biggest threat as we know is to your Southern border.
A border that the U.S. government ignores.
Much of the world now views the U.S.government as a real threat to World Peace.
If Putin says F@#k it. You were warned, and releases the damning information on the 2020 fraud of all frauds, plus the other U.S. and Western governments lies.
Then strategically Nukes a major European or Canadian metropolitan area.
How the F@$k do these criminal bass turds not face real wrath..
Folks are getting seriously angry..gasoline is $2.00 per litre ( close to $ 8.00 per gallon U.S.)
Working folks throughout the Western Nations r ember just 18 months ago.
Where are we now..
Prepare.
If there’s life on other planets, then the earth is the Universe’s insane asylum. Men will always be mad, and those who think they can cure them are the maddest of all.

Brett Baier also had a state department scumbag on his his show and asked the same thing. The scumbag repeated the same non answer. This how you know the Ukraine has lost this and we are simply financing an staged operation. It’s important to remember that early into the conflict the Ukraine was ready to negotiate and the state department spoilef it. You can be certain of three things in this conflict….our state department and press cannot be trusted. Putin will cut the country in half its simply a matter of whether Odesa is annexed or left to the Ukraine as a goodwill measure. The Ukraine has lost this war its miltary has been degraded and it stands to become s landlocked country possibly keeping Odesa.
State department scumbag? Oh, you mean Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin. She repeats what she’s told better than anyone.
As far as I’m concerned, Britt Baier is a scumbag!
I am viewing, in my mind, he and the other Fox News scumbags’ comments to each other when President Trump was running!
She would make an award-winning actress. She can spew the lines like a PRO and she never fumbles.
Professional liar.
She lacks the charisma for that. Lying is not acting.
That’s why she was hired on Fox
The main difference between Jen Psaki and Joseph Goebbels is that he didn’t have Halloween red hair.
Goebbels is jealous.
Imagine what he could have done with 24/7 cable TV and a social media account.
Look closely at where her part ends…I think its a wig or hair piece ….
Being a real ginger, faded though I may be…I doubt she’s real, in more ways than one…ha, being catty on cursday, sorry, can’t help myself.
Are you saying the drapes don’t match the carpet?
Gin Saki is a prostitute.
I can’t stand her little miss know it all attitude or anyone of the presstitutes.
They’re insane and must be forced to resign. All of them
Meanwhile, from the MI6 in UK:
“https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f1ec-1f1e7.svghttps://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/svg/1f1fa-1f1e6.svg🔥
Mi-6 have passed intelligence to the Office of the President of Ukraine and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that Russia is preparing strikes against decision-making centers in Ukraine. It is recommended not to use the command posts of the Ministry of Defense, the coordinates of which are known to the Russian special services.”
As of this writing, missiles have hit Kiev but so far it appears to have targeted the Artyom military factory and airfields in the vicinity, not decision centers, but we’ll see. The leadership is likely not worried anyway, there are reports that:
“Zelensky’s wife and children have already received British citizenship. Come on, he himself received it, although this should be contrary to the constitution of Ukraine. But the bloody clown’s parents refused allegiance. Well, at least someone in this family has a conscience.
Also, by the decision of the British government, citizenship was granted to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Andriy Yermak and his family members, as well as Zelensky’s adviser Mikhail Podolyak and his family members. A number of employees of the General Staff of Ukraine and the SBU are in the process of receiving.
The Ukrainian elites have prepared an alternate airfield for themselves, but the majority of Ukrainians will be left with a nose.”
The implication is that all the top Ukrainian elite are already receiving British citizenships and are ready to work from abroad in their new home soon.
In short…the Ukraine has lost and the elites are packing to leave.
Which is why they need the aid pronto!
No time to lose.
And more military goods in the hands of bad actors.
Just like Lara Logan said. See her on this subject on rumble.com. She is on fire. She has pointed out repeatedly that we are being lied to on an epic scale about the whole Russia Ukraine conflict. It is pretty much the opposite of what we were being told by The Usual Suspects. Big surprise there
“Keep those payments coming Joe. Remember we still have dirt on you . . .”
It ain’t just Joe…..It’s Mitt, Lindsey, Nancy, Chuck, Zero….
Zelensky is dirty, elected as the ‘anti-corruption’ president, but he sure pulled a joke on them.
“. and after I told Joey , a few days later….sonofabitch , he did I it… all 33.”
Countries with their hands out must have some dirty-dirty kommoprat on the major players in this administration.
The greatest theft ever put upon the working class humans is taxes. Why do we put up with these grifters!!!!
I suppose because too few want to, or believe they can, take the necessary steps to put the grifters out of commission.
Too. Many. Grifters.
In all branches and levels of government.
If it comes, its probably going to take a bloodbath concerning the Tree of Liberty, I recon.
Shakedown.
checkout the situation report for Apr 28th and ask yourself where this will end
https://thesaker.is/sitrep-operation-z-16/
Where will this end?
Not in a good way for us.
Which is where it is going.
By design.
The lying psycho has a better look today.
Navy w/plunging neck line actually works for her.
Its up to the Ukrainians, though.
Hahahaha
Thats a good one Jen
Hey, Ginger: Knock it off with the “partners” crap. If certain Eastern European countries are NATO allies, they can pay their own way or the EU can pony up inflated Euros.
Partners!?
Show me the treaties and accords.
In writing.
Signed and notarized.
/S
along with evidence of their keeping of their side of the bargain
“..partners..”. I cringe with amazement when she brushes a comment quickly describing our ‘friends’/ ‘Allie’s’ as The World!
Bryce Mitchell’s sentiments aged well:
It makes one wonder, is Biden being blackmailed by Ukraine? Does Biden maybe have some shady business dealings, maybe with his son that he needs to stay hidden?
Nobody here is wondering, and I’m sure that is a rhetorical question.
That’s just a conspiracy theory – no hard(drive) evidence whatsoever.
/sarc
Nah…..just partners in, what has been so far, a very lucrative criminal enterprise.
I cannot say on here, what I would love to say to Little Red Lying Hood. After which, I would of course slap the taste out of her mouth.
Alleycat indeed. Well played and the visual of the taste slapping is pitch perfect. That would command a high price and a massive audience on Pay Per View. Any promoters on here?
It’s well past due for Zelensky to negotiate peaceful terms with Russia. I have zero respect for Zelensky for putting his people in harm’s way.
We are openly saying we are paying his bills and no accountability for the money. Putin doesn’t want regime change in the Ukraine or Kiev would look like Mariupol. Zellensky knows we ll get him out if Putin wanted whole country. He doesn’t he knows he can’t keep the west as things stand now. He’s won the east and sea ports already.
Not “we.”
They.
USGov is now a treasonous cabal. They have not been “us” for a very long time, and we citizens need to break our habit of referring to, or thinking of, the US Gov. as “we.”
Exactly. This is one big fundraiser …
what tiny bit of sympathy I had for Ukrainians in the beginning of this is now vanquished..I hope Russia demolishes them and takes the whole damn country.
What’s really blood boiling is how Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell, and establishment Republicans will just rubber stamp this slush fund request, no questions asked.
We have met the enemy and it is us … in Name only. The Name Republican
Translation: Zelensky has the GOODS on Hunter and Joe and he is black-maiing them…it will be never ending…
I prefer to “donate” to local groups in my community.
Ukraine is not in
my community.
Ukraine is not in my State.
Ukraine is Not even in my Country!
Not even in same Continent!
So…..if the Politicians, Liberals, Democrats, and whoever else wants to donate….knock their socks off! Go for it!
But…my taxpayer dollars paying Zelensky and his Nazi Military to complete the genocide of Donbas citizens…Is something I pray about…. 🙏 it is wrong.
These people are insane.
The journalist are supposed to be adversarial.
And no, adversarial doesn’t mean rude. It means persistently asking a question to get “just the facts, madam, or sir.”
Russia has already won the regions they set out to occupy which are right on their border. What’s our reason for dragging out the conflict when it’s virtually over now? All we are doing is killing more Ukrainians!
They can’t define success because they don’t know how much they’re going to be able to skim off the top without us finding out. They’re still negotiating with our political leaders to not make it too obvious. They are also trying to make sure that Hunter has no access to another laptop ever again.
Or they chain it to his wrist, so he’ll stop leaving it around
Again, where are the DC Republicans? Why is it WE are upset about it, and they aren’t? They can’t even do what an OPPOSITION party is supposed to do – oppose the other party.
This is what Really makes me angry. What’s the point of electing these Republican clowns if they’re going to do nothing, or agree with Biden? On every issue WE care about, they either compromise and join the Democrats. I’m getting sick of it. That’s why we got Trump, but as Trump showed, just electing ONE man can’t change things.
I’m so happy I had to cut a check to the Goobermint for 3k a few weeks ago…happy they are pissing it away for me.
Soon we will get to rip it all apart…..can’t wait.
No!
This begs the question: which countries ARENT blackmailing biden?
Wrote my two RINO senators, and told them HELL NO! Even war monger cheney didnt vote for this extortion payment.
They are giving the money to defense contractors and dem supported non-profits and a percentage is coming back supporting politicians personal and campaign accounts. As always the politician are UniParty. It’s election season, very few have the courage to speak out against sacrificing American citizens to support a country in which our only connection is both governments are corrupt and globalist.
Ironic that this astonishingly pathological arrogance toward not only the sane humans living in battlefield America, but also asserted/and imposed upon quite literally EVERY SINGLE other nation on earth, (God’s earth mind you, created by Him for His humans!), IS IN FACT THE REASON THIS WAR is even taking place!
The enemy of humanity, the enemy of God, is the source of all this evil we and the entire planet is being made subject to.
Refuses to define success; sounds strangely like Veet-nahm, as LBJ pronounced it, and another democrat initiated war. Does anybody want another Veet-nahm? Probably doesn’t make any difference if you do or don’t, democrats will do what they will do regardless.
DC is the District of Criminals who are thieves.
Can’t spend a billion or two on the border here but we are asked to pay the salaries and pensions of a bunch of Nazi war criminals ?
As town after town in Middle America fall apart and have Grand Canyon sized potholes, we give money to Ukraine because “that’s who we are.”
F#ck off Psakistan.
They give our money. We haven’t given anything when we’ve been raped repeatedly by these things
and on top of everything else, this might get us all killed
And who’s going to stop them? Or anything else that they will do?
And what other strings are attached with NATO? This new world order has it’s foundations in place. Italy is implementing the social credit system. The Bank of Canada is working on digital currency. All the pieces are being lined up methodically.
A burgeoning black market of pissed off patriots will confine them to as small an area as we can. This cannot be allowed to become World War level absolute victory territory. A draw will be a win if they are kept out of red state lives. It’s more like Korea, we are defending a parallel and it must not be breached or lost. There may not be official secession, but we will be cleaving much as BRICS and NATO are doing now. History is happening now. We must learn from it now. BRICS are creating trading systems and currency damn near from whole cloth. We are more than capable of the same.
$33B is just a down payment compared to what we are likely to pay to “Build Ukraine Back Better.” Barf.
The 10% Big Guy sure is paying back his sponsor.
Money laundering back to themselves as well as hush money so the corrupt Ukrainian government won’t provide the evidence of all the corruption American politicians have been involved with in Ukraine.
I believe what’s presently happening in and around Ukraine is the success of their plan.
Here’s the correct headline for this post today “Why the Hell Are American Taxpayers paying for…” Feisty words Sundance. Being polite has long since gone.
Well, if your giving away our money why not give it to, oh I don’t know…..us?
