As we contemplate the massive $40 billion transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to Ukraine, a few things need to be emphasized.
First, congress has decided to pay the salaries, benefits and pensions of Ukraine political officials and citizens. As U.S. citizens try and figure out how to afford housing, gasoline, food and basic goods, congress has decided to subsidize another country. That’s the first point.
Second, as to the pragmatic question of “to what end?” There was a critical point made last week by Defense Intel Agency (DIA) Director Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier, that not a single media outlet or politician discussed. During his briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Berrier was asked “can Ukraine win” the conflict against Russia?
Lt. General Berrier replied: “That is a difficult predication to make. I think where the assessment is at, is a prolonged stalemate should no factor change on either side. In other words, the Russians continue to do what they’re doing, and we continue to do what we are doing for the Ukranians.” WATCH:
The Pentagon assessment is the best that can be achieved is a stalemate. Billions of billions of dollars being poured into Ukraine, and the most likely outcome is a stalemate. More people killed, an endless need for continued money to be poured into the ‘war’, and the best possible outcome is a stalemate.
So, riddle me this, why isn’t the U.S. policy position advocating for Zelenskyy and Putin to enter negotiations for a resolution?
What possible U.S. interest can be advanced, knowing the only outcome is a stalemate, where people are killed on either side and money spent on a proxy conflict that ends in loggerheads at some distant point months from now?
Also, why has no U.S. media outlet or pundit played the remarks and assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency, so that the American people can understand the intent of U.S. policy?
If Russia wanted to wipe out “the” Ukraine, it would be wiped out. All analysis and BS would not change that. Russia is playing their own game.
They need baby formula in Ukraine! Let me help you out….
If you’d like to donate to Operation Ukraine, you can drop off baby formula to Family Pharmacy in Columbus.
You can also send money through PayPal to [email protected] or send checks to Operation Ukraine through P.o. Box 411, Columbus, MS 39703.
B.S. Let them help themselves, like we have to.
Except that WE don’t have to.
Because some portion of “We” can simply, willingly get on the Plantation, stop working, collect food stamps, housing assistance, etc. and surrender our pride in exchange for “the dole”.
Says Who? Besides the politicians that are known for lying every time they utter a sound from their pie holes and the grifter and grafters that are in cohoots and conspiracy to rob the USA citizenry …
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” James Madison – Annals of Congress, House of Representatives, 3rd Congress, 1st Session, page 170 (1794–01-10)
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U. S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be in agreement. It is impossible for any law which violates the Constitution to be valid.
“All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Marbury vs Madison, 5 US (2 Cranch), 137, 174, 176, (1803)
The TRUTH will set you FREE. Give up all the lies they’ve been teaching and indoctrinating us with for decades and centuries. Be free with the truth which scares them witless because all they are is a house of cards.
There’s recipes circling the web regarding making baby formula. It’s evaporated milk, water, and Karo syrup. Good luck in your search.
Also try amazon. Put in Canada instead of US and get it shipped from there. No shortage of formula in Canada it sounds like. 🤷🏻♀️
Praying for you and your family.
Try the goats milk formula recipes. I know of one local young mother whose 3 month old has taken to it eagerly.
…Russia, Russia, Russia…
Bert was referring to the prospect of Americans who privately want to help Ukraine donating baby formula instead of the United States government which has a monopoly on the purchase of baby formula shipping all they want to Ukraine which created the shortage in the first place. I don’t see why that would enrage anybody?
Hoping this will help…
This is circulating as well…
“TO ALL MOMS THAT CAN’T FIND BABY FORMULA…go to Amazon…go to the bottom…change from #US to #CANADA. You can get all the formula you need. They are not having a shortage just the US is. Have it shipped it right to your door.”
I pray this will work. They are magic and there i are currency differences, and I know time is an issue.
All the same, worth a look. God bless you all!!!🙏
Metric!! Not magic…so sorry…autocorrect is really ignorant.
How difficult is it to admit that our own government is at war with its citizens? Why are people even questioning the blatantly corrupt, destructive actions relentlessly perpetrated against us? There are no caring, positive motives in anything our globalist home team does. The one relevant question is how do we defend and save ourselves? They brutally smash ever modest, legitimate initiative we try by working through the system; but they have destroyed our system of government. In what way are we still a self-governing people?
I was not offering a solicitation.
I was offering you a place to protest your objection.
You have an e mail, name, and an address to send a get-well card.
Clearly that is not true based on the fact one year ago in April of 2021 Russia stacked 150,000 troops on Ukraine’s border with a year of preparation before invasion expecting a month or two battle. It’s been 79 days and Ukraine has not said ‘uncle’, however, Russia has sustained a great deal of losses in both 300 officers, 15k troops, 20k wounded, material, and military prestige.
Iraq invaded Kuwait in Aug of ’90 and by Feb of ’91 America assembled 500,000 troops plus equipment and in JUST 4 DAYS expelled Saddam Hussein’s 4th largest army in the world inflicting 35,000 KIA and wiping out their equipment.
Russia made a serious miscalculation thinking a conventional fight was a cakewalk
You obviously get your “intel” from the main stream propaganda readers. The Ukies have spent 8 years with NATO/US training and putting troops on the eastern preparing for an invasion of Russia. Estimates of the number of troops the Ukies have is about 3 x what the RF had at the time they initiated the special operation. These claims of massive Russian losses are pure CIA propaganda. The Russians have the Ukies in the east trapped and are destroying them daily with massive artillery fire and other weapons. The Russians have already defeated the Ukies. That is why the best the US thinks it can obtain is a stalemate and I think that is optimistic. In the meantime, the sanctions on Russia are destroying the west, especially the EU. And here on the homefront in the US, inflation is rampant, food shortages are appearing and all the other things Sundance mentions. And our politicians of both parties have the money printing presses going full blast so they can keep pumping money in the sh*thole called Ukraine.
Yet another fact free diatribe….
Feb 25 – Russian army brings portable crematorium to vaporize dead.
Mar 2 – Major General Igor Konashenkov claims 498 KIA and 1,597 wounded
Mar 13 – Mazyr, Belarus hospital employee confirms 2,500 corpses shipped through Homel region. Morgues overflowing with corpses to disguise death toll
Mar 21 – Komsomolskaya Pravda published claim Russia suffered 9,861 killed and 16,153 wounded
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOZKJAZXwBUU8jq?format=jpg&name=large
Mar 25 – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted to 1,351 ki and 3,825 wounded
April ???
May 10, Ret Col Khodaryonok said, “Russia does not have the pilots or the planes to send into the battlefield. How soon under this mobilisation will we get the first fighter aviation regiment? We would get it by New Year’s.”
So YOU believe the Russian’s “official numbers”? Too funny
Total garbage you post.
Bless your heart. LOL
What’s your numbers…take a shot peanut!
What is the source of your Russian casualties?
I believe it’s all planned. We are all being duped.
YES…and they do it their way…break NATO is VVP goal and he will do it………WARSAW PACT …ended 1991….why they keep it -enrich themselves….p*gs
“Total amount US has allocated to war in Ukraine **after 10 weeks**: $54 billion.
– Average *annual* amount US spent for its war in Afghanistan: $46b.”
A different shell. A larger pea. The same game.
I figured out we could not win in Ukraine about 5 days after the war started. They are playing some kind of let’s pretend game in Washington.
To have any kind of chance at winning would take lots of boots on the ground. Boots on the ground would require a draft. Nobody is going to propose a draft until after the election.
This gives Russia all the time in the world. Even with a draft it would take another trillion in military hardware and probably more. The troops would have to train with equipment.
It appears that the US is feigning to add Sweeden and Finland to NATO to gain negotiating leverage. All this will do is piss Russia off.
The U.S. hasn’t truly WON a war, since WW2, ,..
“Thats not what we do, or who we are”; we fight for a stalemate; Korean War, Vieetnam War, Afghanistan War, Iraq war 1&2, ALL fought to stalemates or losses.
And it IS intentional; B. Goldwaters campaign was sabatouged by collusion between the RNC, DNC, I/C and the media,…BECAUSE he made it clear if the U.S. was going to fight a war in VietNam, we were going to fight to WIN.
I truly believe his campaign was sabatouged, and JFK was assasinated because neither would have gone along with “the plan” regarding viet nam.
Which means the same Insane Idiots In Charge now, were in Charge THEN.
We just called them “Rockerfeller Republicans” instead of RINOS, thats the only difference.
LBJ couldn’t wait to escalate.
The U.S. hasn’t DECLARED a war since December 1941.
If Finland and/or Sweden enter NATO mark my words nukes will fly. My other comment kind of dials up the situation we face. If these people know they are screwed they may initiate Armageddon. Putin vs The Global Elite, only one can win at this point and that’s a bit unnerving. Let me give my disclaimer Putin is no Saint. But I will have to root for him on this. I had to laugh about the draft; there will never be one. You will end up with a million Gomer Pyles probably worse. Thanks for the laugh.
For now, I think the Finland/NATO is just a negotiation ploy. I think Putin knows it. It would be stupid for Finland to take the risk.
As for the draft, it will be political suicide. Russia knows it would be required to present a threat and also knows the US has no balls to do it.
Ukrainians do not know how to use Western weapons. Therefore, all we are going to do is keep sending billions and try to keep the idea that Ukraine is making progress.
Did a calculation.
554 Billion dollars, works out to roughly FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS, per taxpayer.
Maybe the left is counting on the ouster of Putin by insiders, so they can declare victory over Russian man bad, bs.
The uniparty are out of control. EU members are giving how much to meet the Ukraine payroll ? Niente, nichts, rien…
Bernie Sanders’ article started off sounding like he understands that the entire “war” attitude in DC is wrong.
But he completely discredited himself when he immediately blamed the entire fiasco on Vladimir Putin. I stopped reading at that point. No use going any further when the author already exhibits a corrupt, truly ignorant comprehension of the geopolitical situation over there.
Ukraine is the swamp’s money laundering ATM. They need to supply the machine to get their payola. You can’t expect these creatures to become millionaires solely on a Congress salary – do you? And don’t forget our complicit MSM.
It wouldn’t matter what the media or the public asked of these pieces of trash in the US government. Nothing they would drool would be anything close to factual. The best question to ask of every one of these swamp scum members is
” How much kickback cash are you, your family or your re-election campaign going to receive from this theft of tax payer money?”
COLONEL DOUGLAS MACGREGOR
As the Ukraine War drags on and civilian casualties mount, getting information outside the approved narrative is still tricky and military people who speak truth are subject to abuse and smears. Trish interviews esteemed US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor about winners, losers and the human cost.
https://www.trishwoodpodcast.com/podcast/episode-109-colonel-douglas-mcgregor
Why would we listen to anything Col. Macgreagor has to say about this when the people who have been lying to us all along state emphatically the he ,just like Trump ,are Russian sympathizers? A hero who lead one of the greatest tank battles of all time.
Please pardon me for going against the narrative but I have been listening to the good Col. all along and found his analysis to be informative ,logical, well reasoned, void of any
Bravado and spot on.
MasGregor is an old fashioned old soldier, pure nuts and bolts. He’s a gem.
BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BENEFITTING FROM THIS “ WAR “.
It’s not complicated.
The level of corruption, kickbacks, pay-to-play and theft must be staggering.
They are not only laundering money, they are confiscating property owned by private Russian citizens. Multi-million dollar yachts have been confiscated by both the Italian and French governments.
Did they give these yachts to some Western big shots? Did they sell the yachts and divide the money between some Western big shots?
This is all reprehensible.

The world would be a better place if the Pentagon’s budget were cut in half.
And if the U.S. had a budget and lived within it.
That will be the day …..not ever
At least 1/2 of pentagon budget goes to pay. The pay for civil service DOD and their associated consultants and contractors probably matches or exceeds actual uniformed salaries.
There is major installment for your 50% cut.
Retired Magistrate here: The intent of US policy is to make the DC elite richer and the rest of us poorer.
During the Depression Years there was a song “Ain’t We Got Fun” which basically said “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, in the meantime in between time ain’t we got fun.”
So, just like a huge washing machine we have recycled back into the same old same old, except this time the Ukraine government employees get richer along with the Washington DC elite and the rest of us, who have worked hard all our lives, get poorer as we see our savings dwindle away at a faster and faster rate. But, hey “ain’t we got fun!”
Thanks for sharing that. Can’t say I’ve heard that one from my parents but I like it. In fact, in a similar vein, I often tell people to enjoy the good times we’re having today cause it’s going to get a hell of a lot worse down the road. Might just change it to ain’t we got fun!
They really believe people are mushrooms to keep us in the dark and feed us nothing but shit, every day they provide the volcano heat and it is belching ready to blow.
No protracted war [or series of wars] can fail to endanger the freedom of a democratic country. War does not always give over democratic communities to military government, but it must invariably and immeasurably increase the powers of civil government ; it must almost compulsorily concentrate the direction of all men and the management of all things in the hands of the administration. If it does not lead to despotism by sudden violence, it prepares men for it more gently by their habits [which become the habits of cattle and sheep]. All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and the shortest means to accomplish it. This is the first axiom of the science.
.- Alexis de Tocqueville
And this is why the ‘Deep State” likes wars so much.
Stalemate is a goal perhaps – outlast / destabilize Putin – read article in Real Clear Politics from Asia Today , I think . Pretty scary – says US deep staters / lifers whatever you want to call them , see this as opportunity to cause Putin downfall , hence a “proxy war” with contractor advisors etc . etc . Obvious point, if article like that published , then Everybody , including Putin , knows what’s really going on . And casualties in Ukraine collateral damage as they say .
Trying to replace Vladimir the Great with a russian WEF clown.
500 are dying a day, mostly the old and young soldiers.
“why isn’t the U.S. policy position advocating for Zelenskyy and Putin to enter negotiations for a resolution?’
That doesn’t promote the consumption of Western military hardware now that Iraq and Afghanistan are over.
The hope for Afghanistan Redux for the Russians.
If hope is a strategy, it is a foolish one.
Strategic vision would take in consideration the following.
First, the United States and the West have neither the financial nor moral resources of four decades ago which are needed to sustain an extended proxy war against a world power.
Secondly, the Soviets had difficulty projecting power into the rugged, remote landscape along the Soviet-Afghan border. The expansive, open, familiar, and close-by landscape of Ukraine presents no such problems.
Why? Because that isn’t what the U.S. wants….at least the government doesn’t want that. Not enough money in it for them.
I wouldn’t mind if someone else were paying for the US produced military stuff. The problem is we ship it worldwide for free and get the honor of paying for it.
The best template for what they want is the Vietnam war.
Long term income stream for the MIC.
Taxpayer funded graft.
Indochina is devoid of decisive military objectives and the allocation of more than token US armed forces in Indochina would be a serious diversion of limited US capabilities.
-Joint Chiefs of Staff, 26 May 1954
The leaders of the United States in the crucial years of the early and mid-1960s failed to come up with a strategy that would produce victory. Instead, they simply poured in more and more US troops and materiel into South Vietnam. They misled the public by insisting we were winning the war and thereby prepared the war for defeatism and demagoguery later on. The American people could not be expected to continue indefinitely to support a war in which they were told victory was around the corner, but which required greater and greater effort without any obvious signs of improvement.
Even had the United States attained a conclusive military decision, its cost would have exceeded any possible benefit. Vietnam was then, and remains today, a strategic backwater, and the US decision to fight there in the 1960s was driven by a doctrine of containing communism that in the 1950s was witlessly militarized and indiscriminately extended to all of Asia. Bernard Brodie observed in the early 1970s that “it is now clear what we mean by calling the United States intervention in Vietnam a failure. We mean that at least as early as the beginning of 1968 even the most favorable outcome could not remotely be worth the price we would have paid for it.”
– The U.S. Army War College Quarterly – Winter 1996-1997.
Lets face it; in my lifetime, the U.S. government has never entered a war to win it.…only to make money from…..The political people don’t want us to win, they just want to spend our money, get our family members killed, but not their own. Cuts down on the total population that way and they don’t have to actually do it themselves like they want to. Let the war take care of it.
Vietnam 1968 was a devastating year for me. I lost my Marine cousin with whom I grew-up and 30% of my fighter pilot classmates.
Vietnam was never a war I believed-in. I agreed with Cassius Clay at the time and still do. I was able to join an Air Defense Jet-Fighter squadron whose mission was to defend Americas homeland.
I don’t see any difference between the politicians today and the politicians back then. Nothing has changed other than the names.
I remember 1968. I was 10.
My brother and 4 cousins were there. We used to send packages of summer sausage and pre sweetened kool aide to them to share with their buddies.
The sausage didnt spoil in the heat and the kool aid helped cover the taste of the tabs they put in the water.
My mom got letters from the guys thanking her.
Are they really blowing through 1 Billion a month ? So, how long will 40 billion last ?
The officials said that they expected the $3.5 billion in drawdown authority that was passed in March as part of the $1.5 trillion government funding bill to be exhausted later this month.

Only foolish people ignore the words of Jesus:
“what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? And if not, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.” (Luke 14:31-32)
He showed that those who are foolish about earthly matters are even more foolish about eternal matters.
I hope you don’t really expect the “king” of this country (whoever it is now) to use common sense do you? I’ve never seen that happen here, and I’m about to be 85 years old, and ain’t seen that yet. More “pause” and let the other side refresh or move or win, they don’t really care.
What possible U.S. interest can be advanced, knowing the only outcome is a stalemate, where people are killed on either side and money spent on a proxy conflict that ends in loggerheads at some distant point months from now?
To hide something? 🤔
.
Hiding:
-Biological weapons labs
-Overseers of those labs
-Test subjects of those labs
-Test subjects’ offspring
– Offspring being trafficked
-Trafficking baby formula to make sure the product for sale is viable
No wonder these cretins have to drink so much . . .
The miserable commies controlling our Puppet In Chief have kicked Americans in their collective nuts. The Ukraine “war” is simply them stomping on our toes, trying to get us to focus less on our nuts.
Ditch all of the 535.
US out of the UN.
UN out of the US.
they are 535 Lamp Post Ornaments
when do we start decorating???
My husband advocated that since forever. All they do is collect and spend, collect and spend. They don’t actually do a thing.
Thank you – again = Sundance!
What a big black eye our own government is giving to our country!
Just thinking out loud here, but what if the Pentagon / Deep State has reliable intel that Putin is far more vulnerable than is being reported.
What if Putin’s questionable health condition, combined with a growing unpopularity among the oligarchs and cognoscenti in Russia portend an opportunity to remove Putin and install a dictator more malleable to US and globalist interests.
In other words, what if the Deep State and associated globalists see the opportunity to make Russia another Ukraine-corrupt and ripe for the grifters in DC.
I can see that as a real possibility.
What difference would it make? They are still spending American dollars that nobody has; well, except the people in the Deep state, but they won’t give it, they take it from the little ones. Besides, the deep state doesn’t really want the U.S. to win anything. Never has. Actually, they don’t like the name and don’t like the place. Why they don’t just leave is a good question, except they want to make money and don’t want to get rid of it free.
Russia replacing Putin would be the same as Biden replacing Trump. Neither Country has or would have snowball’s chance in hell.
But Biden replacing Trump has given Chairman Xi and the globalists carte blanche to plunder and diminish the US for their benefit.
It would be the same in Russia. Plus, if you’ve been reading Sundance on this issue–and I believe you have–then you know that the BRICS coalition (of which Russia is a member) is a real threat to either replace the US dollar, or severely undermine it—not to mention stall The Great Reset.
See how regime change in Russia is making the elites all giddy?
The process is the point. Ukraine is being used yet again as a money laundering machine and so long as Congress is able to couch this scheme as “defending democracy”, they will happily continue this charade. It’s worth noting that Rand Paul’s objection to the last absurdly large allocation of funds was that the legislation lacked an oversight provision. Why is he seemingly the only one worried about this? Could it be that the rest are simply padding their pockets and protecting their Wall Street overlords?
The military industrial complex must be paid.
Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
The emerging forces of corporatism/fascism in America absolutely require a constant state of crisis.
Only constant crisis justifies the fascist state they intend.
Co-Vid, inflation, war in Ukraine, the crisis is beside the point. Its existence is the point.
The main job of the professional bureaucrat is to invent these crises. Fauci produced the Co-Vid hysteria, and he is now a demi-god, to the Left. (I had the Co-Vid in April: two days of coughing. Hardly the end of the world).
Vindman, the plump warrior, produced a crisis because Trump spoke to the Ukrainian President (rather a common practice now, eh?).
And the talking heads of the TV news media are supremely well-compensated to sell these crises, any crises.
But keep paying your cable TV bills.
The concept of a military confrontation to obtain the goal of defeat over the enemy is so early 20th century.
Please change the focus to a military conflagration between willing participants as an initiating event. The participants poke about with an adequate amount of acceptable violent outbursts for the desired amount of time. The principle oppositional combatants become financial conduits to obtain funds and military hardware.
A portion of the funds obtained by the combatants supported by the USA is to enrich government Deep State, Elected Grubby Monkeys and the manufacturers of the materials. The goal is riches for the well placed government management team
The Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz called war, “politics by other means”. It sounds like you’re saying that now, war is “graft by other means”. Well, after all, Major General Smedley Butler (USMC), wrote a book titled, “War is a Racket” almost 100 years ago.
Some things never change.
Nothing makes sense any more. The only thing I can think of is it’s a massive grift where money goes into a black hole, this time called Ukraine, and politicians, their friends, and families, are making money on the other side.
I do not understand why corrupt DC even goes through all the effort. They have the fblie and courts protecting their graft. Why don’t they just pocket our tax dollars and say wtf are you going to do about it ?
You are right but I think they gain amusement value from gaslighting us. Once you have all the money it’s boring.
true or some other evil motive
They want to pretend that the ‘people’ want what they are doing. Even the CCP and other dictatorships want to pretend as well. Some kind of psycho craziness. Like a child molester or a rapist want to pretend their victims want what they do. Yes it is sick.
Yes, that is the gist of it. However, they feel they have to do something besides sit there and twiddle their thumbs.
Born Free…: Actually, what you say makes perfect sense. Ukraine is a grifting operation and nothing more.
Another policy I would expect from an illegal government.
The election was stolen by a very well organized cabal, consisting of democrats, state and local officials, major media, big tech, Zuckerberg and Zuckerbucks, Soros, dominion voting systems, and the community organizer Obama.
President Trump won in a landslide and the country has been stolen. They are raiding our future and must be stopped.
Stopped by what and whom?
Ditto.
Anybody has an answer, let me know.
I wonder how many people and businesses in Washington, DC owe their wealth to Ukraine’s so called leadership? This sounds more like pay back time to me, this throwing money in billions to a country that I could care less about and knew little till Hunter and his daddy brought their grifting game to that Mac repair guy.
“I think where the assessment is at, is a prolonged stalemate should no factor change on either side.”
In other words, a new Forever War. Woo hoo!
The purpose of Forever Wars is NEVER the advancement of American interests. Their ONLY purpose is to flow billions or trillions of American tax dollars into defense contractors to make weapons and ammunition that get used up and must be replaced over and over and over and over with no end ever.
Folks were looking too closely at Afghanistan, so they bugged out of there and baited that thug Putin into invading Ukraine. New war, new arguments, new justificatons. But it’s really just a new inning in the same old ballgame.
It’s not America’s war.
https://chroniclesmagazine.org/recent-features/come-home-america-12/
Yes. Ukraine is the new Afghanistan. That’s why they had to get out of the latter so quickly.
That $40 billion is only good until September.
Exactly what I have been telling everyone!
Why is/has there been no sincere push for negotiations?
That was my “tell”.
Just like the COVID. When they pushed a vaccine instead of therapeutics, and then silenced Doctors who did….
That was my “tell”.
Same with the Zelensky grifter…..
good eye
Not only has there been no push for negotiations, Russia has offered many times to negotiate with Zelensky. The U.S. never allows it. A few times, Zelensky himself was ready to negotiate. The U.S. said no.
Well, they ended Afganistan and they needed more cash after the pharmaceuticals got theirs. So the war machine goes on with the added benefit of funding politicians and their offspring for generations through kickbacks. Win-win for those who would have us eat cake and have people they have never seen or know die for the righteous cause! To arms, brothers!
Thank you Sundance/The Last Refuge for all you do to keep us informed.
Agreed 1,000 per-cent. The media sure doesn’t tell us even half of what you do. Personally, I spend way too much time on this site, but than you so much for being here…..all of your posters have given me so much information. Thanks everyone.
More pretending not to know. The Ministry of Truth has been operating long before it was officially unveiled.
How many of you have been flooding phones in DC giving them he’ll?
I have but now time for the rest of you step up and do the same bitching in here gets not a damned thing done.
Puppies squealing in a basket.
ahhh
bitching here gets the same results as calling your representatives
when will you realize they are not listing to you and you are wasting your time ?????
The Masters of War need more money. Bungles Biden and his gang of nefarious misfits do not care about the thousands of people that are being murdered as long as they get their cut. Back in the day it was Big Daddy Warbucks. Today it’s the DC Cartel. Eisenhower warned us about the Military Industrial Complex, nobody listened
Stolen elections will lead many innocent people to an early grave.
The latest scam is 40$billion to Ukraine, with no strings attached. The European Union is sending 500 million.
It’s their backyard.
I hope Russia takes all of Ukraine, so we don’t have to rebuild it.
The US and NATO will fund weapons…..
and supplies to the NAZIs in Ukraine……
until the last Ukrainian is killed……
Modern warfare……at its worse.
(BTW this is only to protect the Central Banks and the “petrodollar”)
If you deduct all the money being laundered back to Pelosi, Obozo bite me and the rest of the trash running the US there is not much left.
There is no money, they created $9 trillion out of thin air in 2 years, and the country can’t pay its bills without the creation of trillions more. It’ll be over before we realize, the game is up and there is going to be hxll to pay.
Sending money and arms to Ukraine is how DC ruling class get rich. Period. Full Stop!
They need a new semi-permanent conflict and the outrage… The mainstream media outlets on both sides were providing cover for their con game. The same morons who used to decry our presence in Afghanistan and Iraq as never-ending wars are now adding Ukrainian flag to their names across all social media platforms and demand more “help” for Ukraine…
We should NEVER go to war if we 1) have no objective or plan; 2) cannot (or will not) clearly define what victory looks like, and: 3) do not fully intend to WIN IT as quickly as possible. This isn’t brain surgery. This isn’t rocket science. This isn’t particle physics. This is basic sense, and has worked in warfare since before the advent of written history.
There is no victory in Ukraine unless we are ready to bomb Moscow with everything it entails and no upside for us or our allies in Europe whatsover.
Thus the Ukrainian conflict is just another fraud, a pretext to borrow billions in our name and spend it on DC cronies.
They need a foreign country to launder their money. Nothing more, nothing less. And they know we know that, and they know we will not do jack to stop them from doing it.
Department of Defense should be renamed to the
Department of Stalemate
I will answer that question for you Sundance…Oh look up in the sky…pretty bird!

Keep focus: the money is frosting on a cake, the cake being the destabilization of Western Civilization and its replacement with technocratic feudalism.
Remember what sundance has repeatedly said: the next, bigger crisis always serves as the offramp from the political consequences of the current crisis. The Russo-Ukrainian conflict is the offramp from the consequences of pandemic policies towards the fantasy of a green utopia.
The forty billion is just a little money for the road.
“Suppose they gave a war,…and nobody noticed?”
The thing is, WE notice.
Whenever I hear Wimsey calling for Putin to be taken out, I wish the coin to be flipped.
But the politicians in the US would have to find another money laundering operation! The war machine would have to find some other excuse for needed more equipment. The WEF and the WHO would have to find a different leverage to take control of the world!
This is the perfect way to collapse economies, and to keep people too worked up to see the puppet masters strings!
The perfect crisis!
we see the strings!
just waiting to see the white in their eyes
The fact our media is unabashedly rooting for literal Nazis should make one take notice. If Putin is successful it will be a slap across all of their faces. This momentous slap will lead to a successful “Brexit” of BRICS nations from the Globohomo order. What does that mean for the West? Poverty and a loss of power on the world stage of the world’s worst human beings.
It’s gonna suck for us too but it might be fun knowing we will soon get to clean house. They won’t be able to hang out on their yachts because the Russians or Chinese will find them. We will have to smoke them out of their holes. It shouldn’t be hard since their security detail will have long fled if not killed them already.

A stalemate like a 20 year and trillions of dollars stalemate?
Yes, this is getting stale…….mate.
A prolonged stalemate is exactly what the uniparty wants. They don’t give a damn about American citizens anymore because they now know that they can cheat us out of our votes and get away with it. They don’t have to care about us anymore. It will bite them in the ass, at some point, though.
Total victory in total war is elusive when confronting nuclear armed adversaries.
or when war is run by idiots with an agenda that DOES NOT INCLUDE WINING.
And the longer the stalemate the more money the defense industry makes. The more money the defense industry makes the more money the politicians’ family members make and the more money sent to Ukraine then more money is laundered back to our elected officials and their families. And the more money the defense industry makes the more boards seats open up for our woke generals when they retire.
