Ukraine is a slush fund for ongoing corruption
*************
Not just Ukraine unfortunately. Its just one example of how taxpayer (and borrowed) money is routinely directed to certain parties. The fleecing never ends.
Now I’m off to cash my latest check from Vlad. 🤣
Not in the least, which is why Biden supported the Ukrainians in this conflict. Send them stuff and money, and Joe & family get their kickbacks.
They’re so brazen about it, too. Congress approved $40 billion for Ukraine but claimed we couldn’t afford another $40 billion to help restaurants and small businesses recover from the mandatory Covid shutdowns. I guess the hospitality industry doesn’t contribute enough money to the Democrats to matter and they have no viable way to launder it for Congress. 🤬
I think many of the same Freepers who bought the Covid scam, ala the liberal MSM, are back at the liberal MSM trough.
They’re too brainwashed to think for themselves.
They’ll believe whatever current thing is peddled.
They’re so brazen about it, too.

Yep, they have been fleecing the people for so long they don’t even try to hide it anymore.
But I thought Russia was going to be defeated any day now.
The Russians actually have the Red Cross from Switzerland registering every person coming out of Azovstal. Not that you would read that in the MSM....
“3837 POWs sent to a labor camp in Siberia.”
Probably about half, the Nazis. The Ukrainian Regulars, the ones without Nazi tattoos, will be freed after the war. I suspect most will want to stay in Russian-controlled territory, since Zelensky’s goons have already proved that they execute those who don’t fight to the death, but they will be free to go where they please.
“The Russians will just keep on throwing conscripts into the meat grinder just as they did against the Germans.”
Actually, they’re doing the opposite at this point, and instead pounding areas with artillery prior to moving forward, hence the slow pace. It’s only the Ukrainian defenders who are getting ground up, as they are not permitted to retreat and redeploy, but instead are ordered to fight to the end.
Things may change in the future, but that’s where it stands today.
“Now I’m off to cash my latest check from Vlad.”
I just cashed mine, DESPICABLE - he gave a good wage when 2 months ago, when the Ruble was almost worthless (as he was on the ropes), but now he’s cut it down to next to nothing, due to the Ruble being so strong.
If Putin doesn’t come through with a DECENT raise, then I AM FINISHED, and I’ll go to Lindsey Graham and join the Neocons here in supporting Zelensky.
Saw a story yesterday that they are removing the age limit for draftees in Russia so something is happening to all these younger soldiers..
More likely more middle-aged men want to join. If Russia wants to simply pull-in more troops, there’s no shortage for them to choose from (given that the population base is 150M). On top of that, they have the Chechens, who live for combat.
Feel free to call them whatever you want. I don't care. But if you call them Nazis, I think you're a Russian trolls. That's all.
Umm.. no, they’re actual Nazis.
“Feel free to call them whatever you want. I don’t care. But if you call them Nazis, I think you’re a Russian trolls. That’s all.”
Do you also think there was never a Mafia in NY City?
