Ukraine with Weapons

Original Article

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) sees U.S. foreign aid for Ukraine as a fiscal issue tied to inflation. During an interview with Mobile, AL radio FM Talk 106.5, the junior Kentucky Republican U.S. Senator likened the expenditures for Ukraine to any other government expenditures, which he said all contribute to government debt. However, noting his sympathies for Ukraine in their plight against Russia, he said U.S. spending on the problem did not make sense. “Inflation is caused by spending money that you don’t have that the Federal Reserve buys the debt,” he said.

Comments:

It's more a slush fund/money laundering system than foreign aid. If not Ukraine it would be someplace else. As long as we have corrupt politicians and government employees we will be their cash cow

Sure we can! As long as the US government foots the bill! 30 trillion debt is nothing! Let's have 40. How about 50? What? We defaulted on our debt? Print more money! What? Nobody is accepting our currency? Outrageous! This does not end well, but what do you expect when you allow thieves to have a say in our government? Thieves STEAL.

The Ukrainian Embassy in DC probably has the greatest collection of Hunter Biden paintings, if not the only collection. Paintings are hung in a utility closet to avoid scandal that $25 to $35 million of Joe Biden’s aid money to Ukraine was used to buy Hunter’s “art” in exchange for the assistance. Realization came to me that once Joe Biden started sending vast sums of our money to pay the salaries and pensions of Ukrainian bureaucrats, Hunter’s art exhibits were apparently ended due to anonymous purchases. Or, No War for Oil Paintings.

Of course, we realize that $29 billion of that "aid" went to US arms manufacturers for replacement of the equipment and supplies we sent to the Ukes. We traded old, used stuff for new stuff and "American jobs." Of course, Paul is right...but $29 billion is a drop in the $14 TRILLION ocean spent by Congress and two Presidents in our "War on COVIDS". And Paul knows well what has fueled inflation.

The weapons we send over are already paid for. As far as replacing them...do we have to? We could just sit out the next couple of wars. And if Russia's dreams of establishing a new multipolar world die on that Ukrainian battlefield, that leaves only Iran and China as beacons for the unfree world. And we will have done it without losing a single American soldier.

Q. Why have dozens of U.S. politicians (both Dems & Repubs) traveled over to Ukraine for visits? A. To lock down in person their kick-back on all the aid the U.S. is sending.

with the scores of $billions we sent to Ukraine we could have invested in a couple of new power plants, a new refinery and improved the power grid. And my Lockheed Martin pension is still underfunded.

The USA will supply taxpayers money endlessly to Ukraine as long as there is a way for corrupt political operatives, politicians, and their underlings to essentially skim off a portion of that money into offshore bank accounts and ultimately into their pockets. One of the most important things that Trump did while in DC was to bring the UniParty system political corruption out into the sunshine, that’s a big reason why the UniParty and the Biden crew are doing everything it can think of to attack Trump to bar him from running again for President in 2024.

He is right. But I guess the potted plant continues doing it because in the end the Ukraine will fork over gazillions to his private accounts.

Gallup has been tracking Americans’ view of U.S. morals for the past two decades and noted that while negative views have been the “norm,” the current 50 percent poor rating is the highest on record by one percentage point. Thirty-seven percent of those polled say U.S. morals are “only fair.” Only one percent say the state of moral values is “excellent,” and 12 percent say “good.”

This week, Hillary Clinton dispelled the rumors that she might be running for presidential office again in 2024. The 2016 Democratic candidate who faced former President Trump, told the Financial Times in an interview published Friday that there were no plans to run for office in 2024. “No, out of the question,” Clinton told the Financial Times. “First of all, I expect Biden to run. He certainly intends to run. It would be very disruptive to challenge that.” Clinton made her failed bid for President in 2016 and unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. Another bid for the office seems like it would be a wasted effort.

The war on America's suburbs has opened a new front. Buried in President Biden's proposed budget for 2023 is a $10-billion bribe for suburban communities to remove zoning barriers to high-density housing. (snip) It is a strong signal to Democrat-controlled states to gear up the decades-long efforts to bludgeon affluent communities into submitting to "housing justice" and providing their "fair share." (snip) These efforts are being fueled by housing activists and progressive think-tanks like the Brookings Institution, which declared in a January 2022 article: "By some measures, the suburban counties around New York City have some of the worst exclusionary zoning in the nation."

Climate change is causing more frequent and intense droughts, storm, heat waves, rising sea levels and melting glaciers and to stop this destruction, MIT researchers proposes 'Space Bubbles' to shield Earth from the sun's rays to combat the devastation. This geoengineering idea would feature inflatable bubbles, organized in a circular shape the size of Brazil, which would sit between the Earth and the sun, blocking radiation from hitting our planet.
