An interesting set of details amid a few reports on Ukraine, with one very interesting White House announcement under section 621 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA).
First, as previously discussed within the year-end National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) there was a supplemental addition of $300 million more for Ukraine.
(VIA CBS) – The Biden administration Wednesday announced a $250 million military assistance package for Ukraine.
The aid package — the final of 2023 — will include arms and equipment, including air defense munitions, anti-armor munitions, ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, and more than 15 million rounds of small arms ammunition, a State Department spokesperson said to CBS News.
“Our assistance has been critical to supporting our Ukrainian partners as they defend their country and their freedom against Russia’s aggression,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement, urging Congress to “swiftly” approve further aid to Ukraine. (read more)
Then, there’s something rather interesting….
Remember how we’ve talked about Ukraine being somewhat of a money laundering operation; and the entire series of events being akin to “world war Reddit” without any visible ‘boots on the ground’ war correspondent reporting; and the highly visible structure of the CIA running the operation from Foggy Bottom with the Dept of State controlling the outcomes… Remember all that?
Now, check out this little slush fund:
WHITE HOUSE – “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 621 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA), I hereby delegate to the Secretary of State the authority under section 614(a)(1) of the FAA to determine whether it is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish up to $20 million in assistance to Ukraine without regard to any provision of law within the purview of section 614(a)(1) of the FAA.” (link)
Who/what is that $20 million for?
Curiousor and curiousor….
POLITICO – “With U.S. and European aid to Ukraine now in serious jeopardy, the Biden administration and European officials are quietly shifting their focus from supporting Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia to improving its position in an eventual negotiation to end the war, according to a Biden administration official and a European diplomat based in Washington. Such a negotiation would likely mean giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.
The White House and Pentagon publicly insist there is no official change in administration policy — that they still support Ukraine’s aim of forcing Russia’s military completely out of the country. But along with the Ukrainians themselves, U.S. and European officials are now discussing the redeployment of Kyiv’s forces away from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mostly failed counteroffensive into a stronger defensive position against Russian forces in the east, according to the administration official and the European diplomat, and confirmed by a senior administration official.
This effort has also involved bolstering air defense systems and building fortifications, razor wire obstructions and anti-tank obstacles and ditches along Ukraine’s northern border with Belarus, these officials say. (MORE)
So, the official narrative has shifted from ‘winning‘ to ‘stalemate‘ to the more recent, ‘lose less’ and prepare for “giving up parts of Ukraine to Russia.”
Hmmm… 🤔What’s the DoS/CIA extra $20 million for, again?
Comrade Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious….
Black OXPZ via STXXE DXXT to loose less
$20 million buys a decent mansion for somebody.
Zelenksy gets a Miami or Hawaii complex in the footprint of the firestorm that displaced the locals in Maui and he finds himself in a complex between Obama and Oprah
Make Ukraine BLM Again
what tha…?
They’re all building bunkers. Even Zuck knows what’s coming.
Obama has two and both are on islands. One off the east coast and one in Hawaii. So no matter which coast he is on when the SHTF he has a retreat. Interesting that all of the self-appointed “elite” psychos are choosing to build their bunkers on islands. Suppose they think islands can be more easily defended from the “useless”?
Unless they tip over?
I hope they all suffocate.
8% for “the Big Guy”. Biden wants to be seen as doing his part.

… more ( naked ) dancing here:
( July 2017 )
Earlier, in one of those posts of Ukraine updates we get, there was mention of a huge number of Ukrainian troops posted to defend against invasion from either Poland or Belarus.
It was also mentioned that the fortifications were being improved so that they can hold these lines with fewer troops, enabling them to transfer these troops to the fighting.
This bit about bolstering defenses against Belarus sounds the same. Just they are leaving out defending against Poland. Also leaving out doing this to free up troops to fight Russia.
We just gave then tens of billions of $. What does a paltry $20 million matter?
A nice house. Ask Bernie.
Chateau de Exile
Must be for the razor wire they are giving Ukraine to protect their border while the razor wire on our border has to be taken down to let the invaders INTO our country. I get it.
In Ukraine it’s ‘safety’ wire against an aggressor, in the US it makes it ‘unsafe’ for illegals to enter freely.
Hey, election campaigns have to be funded in the US, plus the DNC needs funds for their convention security in Chicago.
I’m not sure that is going to be enough money for convention security in Chicago.
If I was going to work security for the convention, I would want a large payment up front plus a large life insurance policy.
What does it matter? It matters to someone. To recoup a loss maybe?
Maybe just a party?
Hotdogs from Chicago?
Exactly. It feels like $20 at this point.
I thought Zelensky was just here to beg more money from Biden & Congress? I guess we’re supposed to pay for all his campaign expenses as well! Biden was already told “no”, but he doesn’t understand that word (unless it’s used to deny Israel the helicopters they need!). Don’t forget at least 10% for the Big Guys, straight off the top…
The Demented Fraud doesn’t comprehend anything if it doesn’t involve sniffing little girls
I don’t get it…what’s 20 million to the trillions????
Now you got it! You answered your own question; it’s a matter of getting you to think along their trail of deceit.
That Russian Blue is superbly suspicious!
250 million? Now we’re talking Russell Wilson money!!
Making $20 MILLION trivial; and it works.
Poofs; it a done deal.
If the “Big Guy” has upped his cut to 20% per Bidenflation, then the Biden Crime Family gets a paltry $50 million.
“Pikers” — The Clinton & Obama Crime Families
I’ll bet The Big Guy’s cut for the billions in wasted largesse he’s throwing around has at least doubled … to match his target starveflation rate.
It’s amazing how Biden can throw tens and hundreds of billions of dollars around — especially to our enemies — with seemingly no limits.
It’s almost as if feral government spending does not actually originate in The House and that we literally have no Budget and constraints.
It’s a post-post-post-post post-post-post-post-post post-Constitutional world …
I believe it is all within the grand plan to simply bankrupt America and Americans so people demand the government “do something.”
Only, that “something” is far, far worse than mere financial ruin.
And yet the Dems went apoplectic over a few billion for Trumps wall. “Too expensive” were the shouts from all the pundit pie holes. Ironic how they don’t care about ‘wasteful’ spending now. Never forget.
Great to see the real suspicious cat back!!!
They just keep raking it in, daring us to stop them.

Does this one count as another lost war by the NeoCons, or do they only count when we lose blood AND treasure?

Sloppy line drawing after the hasty break-up of the Soviet Union led to this “Ukraine” issue.
Other new country lines were redrawn when it was obvious mistakes had been made.
Get in line ‘Ukraine”. Give your improperly obtained Russian parts back to Russia. Time for a peaceful do-over. Just like the Czechs peacefully separated from Slovakia. Not like Yugoslavia broke apart into a long and nasty war. But they had badly drawn post-Soviet lines too.
Sloppy line drawing

They’ve been saying that since Crimea. They’ll say that all the way back to Galicia. The Galician identity attempts to impose a historic anti-Soviet resistance on all Ukrainians. My opinion only.

20 million pays for a private aircraft. its a simple show of “trust” to zelensky: do these things, and we can assure you safe passage. And if it works out and your life is not in danger, then keep the aircraft anyway.
speculative.
Zel’s days are numbered.. IMHO
Zelensky is such a weasel – I can’t stand to look at him.
When you look at Zelensky you see the Biden regime with one hand on our neck and the other one in our pocket.
Well, how nice that we have these extra hundreds of millions of dollars lying around to give to Ukraine. I mean, here, I thought that we were bankrupt as a nation, but apparently not.
I’m just hopping furious at what these people have done to us!
All the new dollars will buy premium USA real estate. The rest of us can only afford a box in a 15 minute city
Tangible assets. When the dollar is worth nothing, the elites will own real estate, lots of it.

10% for the big guy.
Ten percent of 200 million IS 20 million. Figures.
But poor Joe…He’s gonna have to pay those huge property taxes on his homes in future years, and how can he do this on a paltry $400M per year as a fed salary??
Strategic Communications Adviser (12/20-1/23) Oleksii Arestovych: Power Struggle or does he, like the rats, abandon a sinking ship?
Translated from Russian by Google:
“– Let me explain how it works.
First you want to join the EU and NATO.
You are warned – the price for moving to the EU and NATO is a big war with the Russian Federation.
You say “oh well” and add the EU and NATO. To the Constitution.
And don’t prepare for a big war, because it can’t happen in the 21st century, right?..
A big war begins.
Now you ask:
– what is all this for?
Answer:
– For that. Once again: the price for the EU and NATO is a huge bloody war, perhaps until the last Ukrainian.
If you don’t want to pay that price, there will be no EU or NATO.
And then it turns out that, as a result of the “they wanted to, but weren’t prepared” regime, the country itself cannot endure a major war.
Moreover, it does not pull it out as a result of all its policies pursued for 32 years.
The one you applauded, the one you voted for.
We can’t pull it out on our own; we need help from the EU and NATO.
But the EU and NATO did not show up to the war.
Because they are not ready to pay the price for Ukraine’s accession to the EU and NATO, in the form of a big war, to the last European.”
Arestovych on X: “- Разрешите мне объяснить, как это работает. Сначала вы хотите в ЕС и НАТО. Вас предупреждают – цена за движение в ЕС и НАТО – большая война с РФ. Вы говорите – «да ладно» и вписываете ЕС и НАТО. В Конституцию. И не готовитесь к большой войне, потому, что ее же не может… https://t.co/WejVXH7SDz” / X (twitter.com)
“When Poroshenko introduced this, it was his personal pre-election PR technology.
“He knew beforehand that NATO would never accept us. Not the least share of the blame for what is happening now in Ukraine lies with those who adopted and promoted this constitutional provision.”
–Alexey Arestovich, March 19, 2022
Trailing in polls, Ukraine’s Poroshenko launches bid for second term
“Poroshenko is likely to promote himself as a less radical choice than Tymoshenko, whose plans for more state spending could set her on a collision course with the International Monetary Fund and other foreign lenders who have pumped in billions to keep Ukraine’s war-scarred economy afloat.
“While he has not won the war in the east, as he had promised to do within weeks, he has not lost it either. The 2015 ceasefire has largely held despite regular deadly clashes.”

your anger is the same and growing,
fck those liars. this is not our debt.
Bingo ! This is Not Our Debt!
If you physically possess something And can keep it … It’s Yours.
$116 billion / 673 days = $172 million per day
$200 million = about 1 day + 4 hrs to keep the war going.
I am going to work hard on not having to pay taxes. All our $$$ are not being used for the American people so we should not have to give them a dime. Add this to the illegals mooching off of us as many Americans and their kids are starving.
That money – if traced – is returning to DNC funded initiatives. More likely, it will never even be sent, just rerouted for payoffs. So why do we dutifully pay taxes?
Why? Because if you don’t pay taxes, the government has F16s and nukes. Just ask Biden* the gelatinous life form.
Keeping track of Hunter, might offer some clues.
Trouble is money can’t buy manpower, the AFU is now allowing disabled people into the ranks.
This is getting to 1944-5 German level shortage of men. You’ll read in the history books how the Wehrmacht ran out of “tanks, guns or planes”, no they ran out of trained men to use em.
There’s photos of Anglo-Allied & Soviet troops, taking over depots & aerodromes. Full of unused equipment.
Shuffling guys from the Northern border, is a one shot deal, when they’re gone replacements won’t be readily available.
Leaving aside that an undermanned partly fortified border might be more vulnerable than a properly manned unfortified one.
The US Govt is the most corrupt country on earth !!!! CIA and color revolutions not only world wide but in the USA running ***Psychological operations on the US population…..
Congress approves the budget. Fault here.
CiA black money funding comes from global crime
Con-gress is a stage play.
The awakening will have to continue, it may get quite painful, up to US to get to the Truth.
There hasn’t been a budget since FY 2008. We’ve been running on CRs and Onmibuses stuffed to the gills with payoffs.
According to reports, thousands are dying but where are the embedded war correspondents giving us the play by play? Is there any fighting going on at all?
Patrick Lancaster has a YouTube channel.
He is just one of the journalists/reporters.
Of course he is independent journalist.

You could buy “Haus am Bogensee” with $20 million.
At this point we are bankrupt. The only question remains is if the criminals that stole our money, gave it to their pals and themselves believe they will live like kings while the rest of America lives destitute.
Western Ukraine, now the non-productive part, has basically become the foster child equivalent of our southern welfare belt, extending from Atlanta to Louisiana.
If you think you hate this administration, it’s not enough.
How does Bono feel about all this?
Government gets money taken from you, that is always the game. More money for ‘the homeless’?! “We govt employees keep 50% and the rest goes to our friends.”
Do you guys ever wonder why Trump ‘hired’ Omarosa and the Mooch? Because he knew every dept of government was a joke other than what Lighthizer, Ross, and Mnuchin were working on. The deregulated us by the 10s of thousands, tariffed our enemies, unleashed hydrocarbon energy development and it gave us the greatest economic leverage in history.
And your government responded by unleashing a flu virus with mail-in ballots to kick a most competent man out of orifice.
We all know what it’s for. We are being extorted.
Check the the change jar Joe, unless Hunter emptied it for a line.
We should just add them to our budget.
NO republican and no dem will STOP Biden & Co.
It’s ALL good.
Give away $$$….it’s what they do best. TAKE from working/middle class (to keep them poor) and give to the WORLD. OF COURSE, their ‘take’, windfall, rebate, comes full circle.
OPEN US border will be the END of USA.
Crime, drugs, disease WILL DESTROY our communities, towns, cities…

I did not know that anyone in the US government could think of or count as low as a $20 million amount!?!
Well, do the math. 300mil allocated, 250 mil officially spent, 10 percent for the big guy, that leaves 20 mil.
V’lod’s asylum mansion, which clearly isn’t in the US?
Before those funds can find their way into the Biden Crime Family’s labyrinthine money-laundering operations, consisting of nearly two dozen off-shore accounts, it must first be allocated into an untraceable, unaccountable configuration controlled by the national security apparatchiks. From there it can wander around Ukraine for a bit before being transmitted to one of those offshore accounts and, ultimately, into the personal accounts and/or pockets of a Biden Crime Family member.
