Biden Wanted $33B More For Ukraine. Congress Quickly Raised it to $40B. Who Benefits?
Tens of billions, soon to be much more, are flying out of U.S. coffers to Ukraine as Americans suffer, showing who runs the U.S. Government, and for whose benefit. ...
While it is extremely difficult to isolate any benefit to ordinary American citizens from all of this, it requires no effort to see that there is a tiny group of Americans who do benefit greatly from this massive expenditure of funds. That is the industry of weapons manufacturers. So fortunate are they that the White House has met with them on several occasions to urge them to expand their capacity to produce sophisticated weapons so that the U.S. government can buy them in massive quantities...
You know the guy is a well-known pedo, right? I guess you don't...
Russians can't stop losing:
GOP lawmaker dresses down Congress for ramming through $40B aid package despite having just hours to read it ...
"We got a $40 billion bill at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I haven't had a chance to review the bill. My staff was poring over the pages trying to see what's in it," Roy began.
"You want to talk about the institution? You want to talk about standing up alongside Ukraine? Why don't we actually have a debate on the floor of the people's house instead of the garbage of getting a $40 billion bill at 3 o'clock in the afternoon — not paid for, without any idea of what's really in it, with a massive slush fund that goes to the State Department: $13 billion dollars, $8 billion to the economic support fund, $110 million for embassy security," he continued.
The "rest of the world" is dirt poor and many are "shit-hole" countries to quote Trump.
So... poor countries have no right to disagree with the oligarchy?
Don't take sides. We are habituated to think there's a "good" and "bad" side. In war, there's rarely a good side.

But since most of these countries are brutal and corrupt
Ukraine is also brutal and corrupt.

Yes, definitely more than Russia.

Did you look it up?
How do you measure level

How many US politician's relatives work for Russia? Ukraine?
I'm not on either side of the Russia - Ukraine war. I am curious about the Burisma board that Hunter was on and that Trump got impeached for. What's up with that?

Yes, definitely more than Russia.
Transparency International ranked Ukraine 123rd of the 180 countries it examined, with a score of 32 on a one to 100 point scale. By comparison, notoriously corrupt Russia ranked just modestly lower, 139th, with a score of 29.
So why ... is US taxpayer money being diverted from US citizens in need to support Ukraine?

Rand Paul Single-Handedly Blocks Quick Passage of 40 Billion Dollars to Ukraine
"The biggest threat to the United States today is debt, inflation, and the destruction of the dollar. We cannot save Ukraine by killing our economic strength."

Joe Biden said that thanks to Western sanctions the Rouble had turned to rubble.
The Rouble is now the best performing currency this year against the US Dollar up 11%.
