I'm maybe sorta kinda a little reluctant to be pushed into a war with the Russkies by the same MF who likely pocketed bribes from Ukraine and whose party very probably rigged his victory.

Might be a billion-dollar typo: "less than three months is close to the Russia's total military budget for the entire year ($65.9 million)

If you would have told me ten years ago that Tucker Carlson and I would be in agreement I would have laughed. Yet here we are. I'm really at a loss for words on this Ukraine fiasco. Our government is corrupt beyond measure. And the banality of evil. Is there a country in the world the US government's "assistance" hasn't become death? Rev 6:8 via Johnny Cash comes to mind.

Guess I wasn't at a loss for words, after all.

If they can afford to ship that much (more) out to them…….. We are being wayyyyyyy over taxed.

All while inflation continues to soar (yeah, 9% and change my ass). This is what happens when you let people with dementia run the country. Crazy ol Uncle Joe, pelosi, difi, mcconnell, and the whole fucking pack of em should have been retired decades ago!

I am heartbroken over the country we have become. Greedy, corrupt, warmongers. It is so sad

And for 65 years I've heard the CIA reports of how advanced and powerful the Russian military was. All to sell those new arms. And now they're telling us how advanced the Chinese are.

Borrowing money to save Germany, France and the UK from Putin without any requirement they pay the lions share. More stupidity and incompetence from our leaders who we will re elect in 6 months, insane. What could go wrong?

They're not even bothering to hide their looting anymore. I'd wager that, just like the "pandemic" stimuli, half that money is getting siphoned right back into the beltway. They are all crooks in that town.

The US started this war in 2014, when Zionist Vicki Nuland and her team of neolibs and neocons managed to overthrow the gov of Ukraine and put Neonazi militias on Russia's border, that have killed 14,000 ethnic Russians in E. Ukraine..

There is no democracy in Ukraine. It is literally a dictatorship backed by the US. Oh! Did I mention that Biden was appointed to orchestrate that regime change? And that Hunter became employed at corrupt BURISMA energy 3 weeks after regime change took place? Hunter's company Metabiota is also involved in the bio weapons labs there too..

The MASSIVE money laundering and corrupt STENCH from Ukraine wreaks all the way to the US. US taxpayer foreign aid is just a way to launder money to US politicians, with 10% going to the big guy!

There is never CONTEXT about this war when MSM does discuss it. Most Americans think it started when Russia invaded Ukraine. While Im a big follower of Independent News, I do watch Tucker because he is at least bringing this war and the money thrown at it to Americans attention.

The weapons being sent to Ukraine ARE NOT REACHING NAZI FIGHTERS!

Russia has all but destroyed Ukrainian air force, Navy and army. It BOMBS any convoys with weapons and has bombed railways and roads that lead out of Ukraine to places like Poland.

THIS WAR IS ALMOST OVER..

So WHERE is that money REALLY going while Americans suffer?

When WILL Americans wake up and see the massive GRIFT this really is?

These politicians are STEALING YOUR MONEY....

A very good analysis of the war can be found at Moon of Alabama blog

What do you think the U.S.’s reaction to Mexico allowing a Russian base would provoke here. Kissinger told them where the line was in the 90’s. This is about money. For them.

Baby food is scarce, yet we send billions more $$$to Ukraine?? That is a crime.

Unbelievable. WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS WAR right now. Inflation is skyrocketing. The stock market is flat or declining. The national debt is up 10 TRILLION DOLLARS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS AND IT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. And people are surprised about inflation, like it's something that just happens for no reason!

This is fucking madness.

The Ukraine was a corrupt money laundering hell hole before the war and it's even more so now. You'll notice we haven't heard a word from Blinken about peace talks and it's all been about "supporting the war effort". None of this money will be audited and I blame the GOP more than the war mongering wag the dog democrats.

War is expensive.

Okay, I get that.

Also, we are not at war. That is "misinformation".

The pigs are at the trough. The American people get nothing.

Note: Due to this development, the line of "How much money will end up back in the pockets of politicians?" has been raised from $20 billion to $25 billion. Wager responsibly!
