Has anyone stopped to ask why the United States taxpayer is responsible for funding the government operations of Ukraine, to include the paychecks and pensions of Ukrainian government officials, or nah?
As Joe Biden and various Democrat and Republican leaders are gleefully willing to keep pushing U.S. taxpayer money into Ukraine, there does come a time when we have to start asking some questions about the disconnect in regard to the opinion of the American people. Tucker Carlson noted this question last night. WATCH:
Also, have you noticed a prominent Republican who has gone conveniently silent on this issue since he originally supported unlimited funding for Ukraine? Yeah, Ron DeSantis, funny that.
Washington DC – […] The White House last week asked Congress for more than $37 billion in additional assistance for Ukraine amid Russia’s ongoing invasion. And while some Republicans say they’re supportive of the amount, many more have been cautious to take a position just yet.
“It’s a lot of money. I think we’ll have to have an open discussion on it,” Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), top Republican on the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, said on Tuesday, shortly after the request was made public.
While there is broad support for Ukraine military assistance among Republicans in both chambers, there has also been resistance about other forms of aid and how it’s being accounted for. (read more)
The military-industrial complex is LIVING LARGE. They’ve gotten rid of the OLD INVENTORY and can now produce NEW inventory for the next war they start. It’s beyond devious…it’s like RACE BAITING. They have to keep the scams going to enrich themselves and the politicians who pay to play.
Everything democrats & RINO establishment NWO globalist do puts us on the fast track to 3rd world nation Elections were definitely a banana republic in AZ.
Has there been any accountability for how he spent the hundreds of billions he’s already received? If our government officials had any interest in protecting the interests of the United States, then they would refuse any more aid to Ukraine until Zelinsky presented an itemized list with receipts of how every single penny so far has been spent.
Democrats never require accountability. They have the endless flow of $$$ from the taxpayer spigot and they make no attempt to control it.
uh huh…as opposed to Republicans?
Do you think that there are not any Republicans who are also
laundering cash?
Greed is universal.
Rino’s !
There are some Republicans, but it predominantly Democrats. On the Republican side, there is Mitch McConnell and China.
There are probably more Republicans in on it than you think. Most of them don’t give a damn about us either. If they did, they would be supporting Trump instead of helping the DNC and the media scum destroy him.
Of course. But we know Biden grifts money for sure. I would guess Mitt Romney, McCain/Graham, McConnell, Pelosi all tke cuts for themselves. If they have been there for a long time they know what goes on.
ANYONE from either House who has been to Ukraine since Russia invaded this past February was likely there to make sure his/her money laundering/ kickbacks continued uninterrupted.
As to “Big Boy,” his phone calls are monitored &/or recorded with printouts. No such restrictions apply to Hunter unless the DOJ/FBI or IRS is monitoring his calls. Same applies to FJB’s brother James.
And it just dawned on me that there are people in the State Dept. who are likely in on the kickbacks like Victoria Nuland, Tony Blinken, or any others with ties to Soros. Can the Clinton’s & Ovomits be far behind?
But I have no doubt that not only are we the taxpayers funding this war but will also be funding Ukraine’s rebuild, assuming there’s a Ukraine left if this conflict ever ends. But we will see no infrastructure rebuilds here except for Chuck’s tunnel in NYC & charging stations in places where the rich & elites live.
That’s absolutely true, which is why they were in favor of it.
Except for making certain that the “Big Guy” gets his full 10%. There’s where accountability comes in.
Are the European countries doing anything? Remember when Trump got them to finally pay their fair share for NATO? I guess as soon as Biden became the (puppet) President, they slacked again.
Sure. They have slacked again.
However, their economies are not doing very well as
energy and the cost of living has soared!

As has ours. Yet we’re still stuck with the bill. I hate Democrats.
Don’t make me laugh.
Our installed little Indian Soonack, is sending millions of our fiat Pounds to the criminals in Ukraine as well as “technicians” to fix their lights and “advisors” to train them in warfare together with zillions of bullets and guns
Of course Britain is a rich country sarc.
Just curious that you said ‘installed’? Is it generally believed that he won via ballot fraud?
British voters vote for their constituency MP, and the party with the most MPs elected forms the government, and the leader of that party becomes Prime Minister. How a party selects its leader is down to them, and the Conservatives currently select their leader by their MPs voting in various rounds, eliminating the least popular, until two candidates are left, who are presented to Conservative Party members. Following BoJo’s resignation, the last two candidates left were Liz Truss and Sunak; Sunak obtained more MP votes, but the Conservative Party membership preferred Truss.
Her 49-day reign was marked by MPs briefing against her, the IMF warning against her policies, and general opposition from all quarters. Truss proved to be no Maggie Thatcher, u-turning, walking back, and throwing her colleagues under the bus. Following her resignation, there was gossip about various MPs contemplating standing, including speculation about BoJo rising from the dead, but ultimately no-one other than Sunak stood, and thus no need to present him again to the Conservative Party membership.
You can see how this smacks of a ‘coup’—the Conservative Party MPs wanted Sunak, and they weren’t going to let the Party membership preferring otherwise thwart their wishes.
Anyway, to steal an infamous line: ‘At this point, what difference does it make?’ There’s barely a handful of MPs out of all 650 Members of Parliament worth anything.
Thinking about it, there’s barely a handful of voters out of the entire 47½m electorate worth anything either.
Zelensky is such a grotesque opportunist, and Biden was happen to bend over for him.
(happy) (I can’t blame spell check, I don’t have it enabled)
Remember that movie Wag the Dog?
About the Clinton’s diversionary tactics in Kosovo?
This episode is called Wag the Ukraine!
Zel is right out of Hollywood Central Casting and plays this acting roll with gusto.
He is almost believable?
What will the FTX collapse expose there and in DC?
The only Nation on the globe with a balanced budget is Ukraine.
Zelenskyy is pretty corrupt, no? Does anyone else know why? It sure seems like nobody in Washington can seem to discover that Ukraine is the same Ukraine that seems to be a focal point of the many shady deals that members of our President’s family have been involved with. Can anyone else spell the word, blackmail? Why is this something most supporters of our Republic cannot seem to figure out? Too many questions?
Yep, because most people are stupid and stupid can not be fixed. So, our Government will spend us into oblivion in order to keep the lid on such an easy can of worms to open.
Tucker Carlson has been reporting on the corruption since there was any discussion Russia would invade. Because he has had the nards to report on this, he’s been called a “puppet of Putin”. He doesn’t give a rat’s butt though, and he’s continued to report on it. He believes the American people have a right to know the truth and ask where our money is going.
If only Tucker had had the same TV show during the Ovomit yrs!!
US aid to Ukraine totals 68 billion and White House has just asked congress for an additional 37. 7 billion.
the new aid request which brings US to 105.7 billion is supposed to take us through next year but at the current rate of spending 6.8 billion a month it will last until May.

And isn’t it ironic, that probably most of the people we are fighting for, the poor Ukrainians, have a good chance of dying this winter from the cold. #FJB
I went looking for DeSantis’ comments about Ukraine and found this instead:
Gov. Ron DeSantis is weighing in on Elon Musk’s recent dispute with Ukraine about Starlink satellite internet costs. DeSantis is siding with the billionaire over the nation under attack from Moscow, suggesting that Ukrainian officials were biting the hand that feeds them in criticizing Musk. Musk had complained about the cost, but ultimately relented and said he’d keep providing satellite internet units.
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, Elon Musk positioned his satellites over Ukraine and gave them these things. So they’ve actually been using his devices to be able to defend their country, and I guess some of the people in the government were attacking Musk,” DeSantis said Monday. “And I’m just thinking to myself, ‘He’s doing this for free,’ ” DeSantis said. “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Good Lord!” […]
The Associated Press reported Friday that Musk had officially asked the Defense Department to take over funding for the service Starlink provides in Ukraine. Musk tweeted that it was costing SpaceX $20 million a month to support Ukraine’s communications needs. “The hell with it … even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free,“ Musk tweeted Saturday.
DeSantis’ defense of Musk came after questions at a post-Hurricane Ian press conference in North Port Monday, where a local Comcast customer asked about poor internet reception in his area. DeSantis suggested that “Elon Musk devices” and “Musk stuff” at public areas in each county may help in the short term, referring to the units Musk offered for free in Ian’s wake.
The mutual admiration society between Musk and DeSantis has existed for some time.

Musk and DeSantis act like Musk is being so charitable. But Musk has received BILLIONS of taxpayer $$$ over the years. This article is from Dec 2021:
over the years, Musk’s companies — Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and SolarCity — have received billions of dollars from government loans, contracts, tax credits, and subsidies. According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk’s companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they’ve gotten more since.

Any luck finding that Ron “I support unlimited funding for Ukraine” DeSantis quote being parroted on this post?
I didn’t find it, all of my searches are picking up unrelated articles even when I refine my search terms and date ranges. I don’t doubt that Sundance has the references, he seems to be incredibly well-organized.
A lot of my search results are articles about Trump. ???
You don’t expect Ukraine to just “print” the money do you? That might cause inflation.
Why waste time, just give the money to Biden and the GOPe’s and cut out the middle man.
The liberals/progressives/elitists are trying to pocket as much money as possible from the US taxpayers, before the hammer falls. PERIOD
That is why scumbags like pelosi were over there arranging the paybacks.
My partner’s business partner would not let him see the books on the business.
Sure enough, he was embezzling $$$.
When someone acts like they are hiding something…They usually have something to hide?
The Giant Slush Fund known as Ukraine needs a good dose of sunlight to illuminate the massive corruption.
Your business partner’s partner reminds me of that old country song, “I’m my own Grandpa.”
When I see these clever things, it is nice to know there are so many people out there who have not been duped in the slightest.
This game is not authentic. Didn’t spot that pin on his left lapel.
Quote on Ron DeSantis supporting unlimited funding for Ukraine? I can’t seem to find.
Quote from Ron DeSantis against ‘forever wars’? I can’t seem to find it.
I wonder, what will be the final dollar figure for every dead uke and russkie?
They are happy to sell their lives very cheap!
In the words of Nancy Reagan, “Just say no”…
IMO. There will never be an accounting. I think what we are witnessing is the wholesale looting of the US treasury by a failed corrupt (UniParty) bolshevik regime. Throughout history that’s what they have to do. Any incoming moral government is left with nothing.
Zelensky is scum, but the Ukie’s I think like at least 3 times now have asked for some kind of negotiated cease-fire only to have DoS/ CIA/ WH to say NO. It’s been reported that there is some grand global strategy in play by the U.S., but the actions appear to mostly support a enormous grift and cronyism that the UniParty has pushed onto the American taxpayers.
What ever happened to all the rock stars and hippies singing “All we are saying, is give Peace a chance?”
Asked for? Per the FTX funding and money laundering by both wings of the corrupt Uniparty?
Or demanded…as in “Gee, it would be an awful shame if all the filth I know about Biden, Biden fils, Romney fils, members of Congress and others, et al, just happened to be made public. Yes sir…a rotten shame.”
sorry guys, but F Ukraine! I’m not buying this money laundering operation for Democrats.
I am reading that Ukraine leaders are buying homes abroad – I don’t think we should send another dollar until an accounting of where the Billions we’ve sent to Ukraine so far are accounted for…
Just stop! Enough already!
I suggest we audit all expenditures thus far. And that needs to include an audit of FTX.
Pull the rest of it back. Tell zelensky to settle up with Putin and get over himself.
No more endless wars. No more endless spending.
Oh yeah, don’t forget to elect a new speaker.
Fight your own battles, Zelenskyy
Comments today are unreadable. Anybody out there not a Russian bot or an adult with a 6 year olds understanding of geopolitics/warfighting? Agree with Sundance that we should not be paying anything not related to soldiers in the field. Our laws include an audit process. Democrats are ignoring that law. Be mad at them, not a bunch of young people trying to keep Russia from conquering their country.
We should be paying the Russian soldiers!
Their country has already been conquered by the WEF, with an inside assist from their govt. which was originally installed by the Obama crew.
Ukraine is today a much worse version of Cuba in the 1950’s, under the thumb of foreign gangsters turning them upside down and shaking them for every nickel, dime and life.
All we are saaaying, is give neutrality a chance.
But hell, aren’t we under the same corrupt thumb?
Did he include money for his mega yacht in the Mediterranean?
Humorous side is this, you see zelenskyy start his first plea in some dark hole wearing a dirty t shirt sputtering and spitting for help and money. Now, over several months these appearances morph into him in a nice clean atmosphere, clean pressed clothes a little jacket, hair all done, manicure, Rolex (joke) a couple of hookers on each side, and a fur, while he now demands billions.
Money laundering, ya think?….
Fake War. Completely Fake
Stop and think about that for a minute if you can. The cabal faked a war. It is NOT real. Russia is in on it too.
Not to worry. Zyyyy will surely ink a check to American workers when our pension funds run dry. /s
Oh now, let’s not juet pretend it’s DeSantis quietly sitting like a frog on a lilly. The whole whole damn party is gleefully signing these paychecks.
A country at war, worried about pensions. Taxpayer money should be for US taxpayers. How can bankrupting our country help anyone except the WEF.
There is absolutely no benefit to the average American whatsoever by supporting the Ukraine. This is all about the politicians on both sides of the aisle protecting their money laundering scheme.
It’s beginning to feel like a shakedown. Zelensky demands, we pay. Lovely.
Republicans and Democrats are for this since the money flows back into their campaigns. First for the past 25 years or so it was USAID money used to fund the politicians in DC, now they got it easy with the hate Russia crowd but pay off the most corrupt government in existence.
How about $55 billon to shore up social security how about $55 billion to replace losses in 401k and IRA accounts How about stop foreign policy blunders like Ukraine money laundering with tax payer funds washed back to the DISTRICT OF CORRUPTION RUN BY DEMOCRATS & RINOS
