U.S. taxpayers are now responsible for financially supporting the lifestyle of Ukrainian citizens directly. Earlier today the Biden administration sent $4.5 billion to the Ukraine government to pay for their “salaries, pensions, welfare and healthcare costs“; with an additional $1 billion in weapons. Total package $5.5 billion for Ukraine. Meanwhile, congressional members are doubling the size of the IRS enforcement to keep Americans paying for these expenditures.
Europe is not paying to support the lifestyle of their neighbors, we are. Somehow, I doubt that Germany would be willing to pay the expenses of the Mexican government – yet it is perfectly justified (in their mind) for the U.S. to carry the financial burden of Ukraine. The more you think about it, the more infuriating it becomes.
(Reuters) -The United States will send an additional $5.5 billion in aid to Ukraine, made up of $4.5 billion in budgetary support and $1 billion in military assistance, to help it come to grips with the turmoil of this year’s Russian invasion.
The $4.5 billion budgetary grant will fund urgent government needs including payments for pensions, social welfare and healthcare costs, bringing total U.S. fiscal aid for Ukraine to $8.5 billion since Russia’s February invasion, the U.S. Agency for International Development said.
The funding, coordinated with the U.S. Treasury Department through the World Bank, will go to the Ukraine government in tranches, beginning with a $3 billion disbursement in August, USAID said.
It follows previous transfers of $1.7 billion in July and $1.3 billion in June, USAID said. Washington has also provided billions of dollars in military and security support.
The $1 billion arms package announced by the Pentagon is the largest single military package under President Joe Biden’s drawdown authority, including long-range rocket munitions and armored medical transport vehicles. (read more)
It’s nice to know I’m absolutely broke but I get to pay for Ukraine.
After awhile, at some point,you should think that you have made enough. BO
You mean BHO.
Our money is lining the pockets of already wealthy bastards.
Ukraine needs more IRS agents what does that go for monthly.
Utter madness..when this corruption blows up, and it will.
Yikes!!
Just what has the U.S. been up to in the Ukraine?
Not just U.S. but other European countries are doing the same.
I have been reading that Ukraine people are not happy. …
Zelensky just gave big raises to his Government cronies with last payload.
His personal security is 100% British.
Well, I am thinking that is has to be some thing really big, really illegal both here and in Ukraine…
Well, it does take ones mind off hunter and his dad.
Not really. Hunter was over there too.
Anyone interested in new military hardware, software, ammunition, missiles, vehicles, attack boats,.anything of great value all for war fighting….come to Ukraine. Garage sales, street sales, back alley sales, anywhere sales at bargain rates . No ID needed. Cash only (dollars or Rubles). No questions asked. All merchandise is from USA. I wish I could be sarcastic.
The last reports I saw said only 30% of “military aid” was getting to Ukraine…..it did not say where the other 70% was siphoned off
It will never Blow Up!
Who exactly approves all of this?
There’s no approval process, only a corrupt cash kickback distribution list
All of this with the help of complicit RINOS.
We don’t have a two party system, we have a one and a half party system, Pedocrats and their pet Republitards.
The GOP angers more as they pretend to represent us, but are just as complicit. Unless GOP leadership is changed, there is no opposition to what amounts to a dictatorship.
In the mean time, Mar-a-Lago is being raided by the FBI.
Just heard that as I was driving home from work.
Pit of my stomach dropped out of my body.
Can’t repeat the things I said to myself.
Drop everything
Pray now.
Lawlessness is on the loose.
I hate these people. It’s a sin, I know.
I guess I need to pray for them.
No.
It’s not a sin to hate evil.
Ukraine has the goods on The Biden’s. This is the biggest extortion racket in our history. period.
At this point, I think every country has the goods on the Biden’s. The whole lot of them simply reek of corruption.
And American taxpayers are making the payments.
We can only hope this doesn’t evolve into costing American lives.
It’s not just us. Most of the European countries are sending yapping,demanding,
whining Purse Puppy-Zelensky money too.
That and the bio weapons labs?
This reckless and irresponsible spending of our money gives drunken sailors a bad name.
I need some money.
How much of that money is going to nato countries
for reimbursement who had to shell out money to pay for their share of expenses during the Trump administration.? How much of it goes to the leader and former leaders of these member states? And a little side for the puppet in kyiv.
Common people are a nuisance to the cabal.

Please share his fantastic counter punch statement with others and PRAY!!
Just read about it.
F.F.S. Americans…get out on the street…I am in Canada and would but cannot get across the border.
We are at WAR !!
FBI agents raid Mar-a-Lago: Trump says his home is ‘under siege’ by agents | Daily Mail Online
CIVIL WAR II may have just begun!
My God! How many of these people are the subjects of blackmail from the Ukraine. That’s the only explanation for this crap. They are all compromised. Zelenskyy’s got the goods on all of them.
It can’t be just that. Zelenskyy could take a bullet to the head. Anything’s possible. The cabal of dirty dealers that we have representing us have used Ukraine, stupidly, and now we will see it come to ashes at some point. Hopefully with the building of a big bonfire of the vanities in DC.
Billions to Ukraine, big tax bill after selective tax audit for us.
Brandon and company lining their pockets.
Who is getting these weapons? I heard only 30% goes to Ukie army to fight the Russians.
Probably Finland and Poland.
God, have mercy on us and stop this insanity! Amen.
Mar-a-Lago raided by FBI.
Trump verifies it.
I will assume that everyone here knows that “Ukrainian citizens” will see very little of this money: pensioners, et alii will receive nothing or very little.
This money will go to the corrupt officials in the Ukrainian government and a percentage will be sent back to America, specifically to the accounts of Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell, et alii and The Manchurian Marionette.
Have seen a lot of videos of Ukrainian people. They are not happy at all that Purse Puppy-Zelensky just gave his corrupt government cronies a BIG raise.
Who gives raises during a war? An idiot. Who gives money to the idiot–other idiots. And it’s just not us. Other European countries are idiots too.
A BIG club—and we aren’t in it.
ZeroHedge and Truthsocial. Maralogo was just raided by the fib.
We don’t have the money to support this. They need to stop and stop NOW.
Meanwhile the FBI raided President Trump’s home today. I don’t think banana republic quite covers it.
Wtf. Crooked ass politicians giving away our hard earned money and making theirselves richer, us poorer while doing it.
The fury meter is going off the charts.

We had the longest government shutdown in US history a few years ago because Democrats didn’t want to give President Trump $6 billion to build the wall. We now cut even bigger checks to Ukraine on a weekly basis with no oversight into where it goes.

F $$$$ were SECONDS – 30 Trillion in debt
1 MILLION seconds ago was 11 days ago
1 BILLION seconds ago was 38.68 years ago
1 TRILLION seconds ago 31,688 years ago when Neanderthals 1st painted their caves
If you were to start at year 1 AD and spend half-a-million dollars every HOUR until today, you still would not have spent $10 trillion.
if you believe in the fantasy of “Neanderthals” why are you using the Christian dating system….you should use the atheist method of years stating 1 C.E.
I shout but nothing comes out.
The anger transcends all words and sounds.
Fbi in the process of raiding Trumps home in Mar a Lago…..per gateway pundit
We’d save more money by sending that aid to Russia so they could win the war faster.
Doe’s anyone know where this money is going and what it was used for? Is there a trail that our congress can use oversight to ensure their is no hanky panky? NO because it’s top secret and vital to national security and nobody will be held accountable.
And the presses just keep on printing.
Just listen out the window and can hear the swamp rats rubbing their grubby rat paws together in glee.
This is beyond stupid on it’s face, but illuminated in the light of day we know for certain that the Ukraine has many swamp secrets to hide. You know this with certainty because it’s bipartisan. Anytime they reach across the aisle clutch yourself.
Criminals, plain and simple.
I’d like to know how big the blackmail file is on biden in Ukraine because it is unprecedented the amount of money we are spending on this Pitiful little country run by a piece of crap dictator.
Not just Ukraine, Zoe, China and Saudi are also knowledgable on this.
Just think of Ukraine as the funnel Brandon uses to pour our money into his bank accounts.
The timing for the first $3B tranche in August is curious, because it precedes the midterms, where doubtless some of this money will be laundered back into reelecting both RINOs and Democrats. That’s why all this hurry to get it out the door.
Where is this money coming from? Congress controls the budget, when did they approve all this money to Ukraine?
D S tries to move the H B story as well.
Trying to deflect our attention away from the HB investigation perhaps…
“On the one hand,” I watch “Western™” nations such as the USA “magically(!)” being able to “conjure up …” (say) $5 billion dollars. No one is supposed to ask where this “stupendous wealth” is coming from. Obviously, certain things are not supposed to be questioned.
But, on the other hand, other nations on this planet are finally starting to “ask questions.” They are even starting to ask fundamental questions about the so-called “New World Order.™” As in Tonto’s legendary rejoinder to the Lone Ranger: “Whaddaya mean we, paleface?!”
“Simple questions … obvious questions …”
They have a point.
Global money laundering in open view, and they will not stop.
Only think we do not know yet is this inclusive or exclusive of the 10% for “the Big Guy”
I hate Joe Biden more by the day and I’m sick and tired of people defending him because he’s old. That POS has been a liar and a tyrant his entire adult life. He has lived like a king off the backs of the American taxpayer. To hell with him.
In 1-2 years Ukraine will be about 10% of it’s current size. Russia, Hungary, Romania, and Poland will be carving up the country.
Never mind complaining to Republicans in Congress. It is essential that we raise hell with the Democrats in Congress. If dems hear thousands or millions of complaints, they will have to notice.
Where, what bill authorized this latest funding for Ukraine?
All I can say is that this is maddening. We can’t pay our own bills, and now we’re helping Ukraine with theirs. Not to mention all the grifting that’s probably going on.
while Zelensky the grifter starts asking CCP Emperor Xi what to do … Ukraine, our “ally”
We, our country, our tax paying citizens are being “raped.”
Squirrel. This was why they raided Trump.
THEY ARE LOSING.
Good thing ten million Ukrainians fled the country and are living in Europe. So we’re not paying for them … Right? What!?
Why does this feel as if the Bidens are being blackmailed by the Ukraine? “Pay up or we will expose all your malfeasance while you were VP”.
God help us all.
“:
They’re beyond blackmail.
Crimes are blatant. There’s already more than enough evidence to have sunk this critter and plenty of others. But who’s going to prosecute? Who’s the judge?
This is banana republic governance.
What about OUR pensions, our borders, our security, and the lives of innocent people dying/being murdered. I’m incensed over the Bastard’s America Last policies! We must take our country back constitutionally and throw out this tyrannical Bastard!
How could Biden or his administration have legally authorized the expenditures of trillions of dollars, since they have occupied their positions as the result of an election run by organized crime. So it should follow, that assets fraudulently used can be recovered to include damages from those organized crime groups involved?

Time for tax PAYERS to go Galt.
This is simple money laundering. A lot of people are lining their pockets with a whole lot of money.
And 10% for the big guy…
How much more money do they need at this point?
It’s going to hurt all of us, but it has to burn down and be rebuilt. Every .gov letter agency should perish.
