excerpt:

As the seemingly endless supply of cash from Western taxpayers provides a bonanza for arms manufacturers such as Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, it similarly benefits war profiteers like Pashinsky. His company, Ukrainian Armored Technology, “reported its best year ever last year, with sales totaling more than $350 million” — a whopping 12,500% increase from its $2.8 million in sales the year before the war.

Pashinsky is not the only racketeer benefitting from the elimination of anti-corruption measures in wartime Ukraine. Several suppliers previously placed on an official blacklist after they “ripped off the military” are now free to sell again, according to the Times investigation. The outlet downplayed this as an unfortunate, but ultimately necessary measure.

“Pashinsky is not the only racketeer benefitting from the elimination of anti-corruption measures in wartime Ukraine.”

Several times now, various members of the US Congress and Senate have proposed bills to assign an IG to oversee all spending the US sends to Ukraine. The great one assigned to Afghanistan is ideal, and many pressed for him. He ain’t doing anything now.

Each time, the bills quickly died. My Senator, Rubio, voted at least one down. And they couldn’t even pass in the House, either.

Congress is corrupt. Daddy Warbucks is back and rules them ALL.

We desperately need Term Limits.
