Protecting armored vehicles from toy airplanes...
As usual, Russia is ahead of the game. Their tanks will be protected, the natofop/neowanker/hohonazi tanks most likely will not be...
The Grayzone conducted an independent audit of US funding for Ukraine and discovered a series of wasteful, highly unusual expenditures the Biden administration has yet to explain.
Zelensky is a phony. America is being drained dry. We are being fleeced.
The war/welfare checks are far, far more than being reported…......
including scarce US Social Security funds going to Ukraine.
US taxpayers may be shocked to learn that as their families grappled with fears of Social Security’s looming insolvency, the Social Security Administration in Washington sent $4.48 million to the Kiev government in 2022 and 2023 alone.
In another example of bizarre spending, USAID paid off $4.5 billion worth of Ukraine’s sovereign debt through payments made to the World Bank — all while Congress went to loggerheads over America’s ballooning national debt.
Beneficiaries of USAID’s Ukraine aid:
<><>Polish NATO lobbyists,
<><>a private equity firm,
<><>rural Kenyans,
<><>a TV station in Toronto
<><>$21.8 billion to Ukraine throughout fiscal years 2022 and 2023, roughly 41 percent of the 53.4 billion it spent during that period.
<><>Mysteriously, a portion of USAID funding earmarked for Kiev was sent to Kenya and Ethiopia via other agencies, with the award description stating projects in Africa were “partially funded with response funds and Ukraine supplemental funds.”
<><>USAID sent $4.5 billion to Ukraine via the World Bank to pay off Kiev’s debt and fund various social programs, including government pensions.
<><>USAID made a total of $21 billion worth of direct payments to the World Bank in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 (9.1 Billion and 11.9 Billion, respectively), more money than all of the funding Washington sent to the bank between fiscal years 2008 and 2021 combined.
<><>The $4.5 billion allocated for Ukraine funded programs directed by the bank’s International Development Association and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
<><>USAID supplied a $1 billion grant to the World Bank’s International Bank for Reconstruction and Development to subsidize projects “Ukraine cannot fund at this time.”
<><>USAID has supplied $20 million to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees” since February 2020. Recipients include a Polish think tank called the Casimir Pulaski Foundation, a Toronto-based Ukrainian TV channel, a collection of Ukrainian “anti-corruption” organizations, and other groups listed in the screenshot below. These awards were issued on top of $26 million worth of funds USAID sent these groups between 2016 and the February 2022 war escalation.
<><>USAID allocated $500,000 for the Casimir Pulaski Foundation in 2023 to fund a program dedicated to “advanc[ing] U.S. foreign policy objectives by supporting economic growth, agriculture and trade; global health; and democracy, conflict prevention and humanitarian assistance” in Ukraine. The funds were earmarked “to strengthen the International Center for Ukrainian Victory (ICUV) initiative in implementing international advocacy campaigns to keep high levels of international solidarity with Ukraine.”
……and much, much more…..
Russia has not invaded anybody; they are conducting a rescue operation in what was nazi-controlled territory two years ago.
That’s some Grade A Putin Stoogery right there.
I come to think he is not in Germany. There are dozens of cities in the US named Berlin, and one is a town in Rensselaer County, New York. One observes that Berlin_Freeper's "About" page declares himself to be a "Retired NYC Ironworker" and the location flag is US, although there is an option for various overseas flags including Germany's.
The United States under Obama and Biden overthrew a legally elected government and installed the nazi regime that we are dumping billions of dollars on today. This happened 10 years ago. The United States or specifically Obama/Biden are the bad guys, the murderers. When China fills Cuba with military, how will you show it as any different than us and NATO forcing Putin to defend his country?
Ukrainian people deposed of Putin’s puppet who fled to Russia.
Worldtraveler once upon a time hasn't created an about page.
What an amusing response. Name calling -- "troll" -- and "suffering butt-hurt" when assuredly I am not so suffering suggests to me you are indeed Berlin_Freeper_New_York and are yourself rather -- in your words -- butt-hurt..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin,_New_York
As to me, I was indeed a legal resident of Berlin, Germany, for decades before coming upon Free Republic, and my wife and I retired to the states. I speak and read and write German, as well as some other languages, was in the US Army courtesy of the letter from Lyndon Johnson, and have worked in twelve different nations, some for extended periods of time. I also lived and worked in your "ironworker" NYC for some periods of time, via sublets. Given that generally Free Republic is a quasi-anonymous conservative platform, more information is mine to keep and yours, Mister Ironworker (complete with photos) to guess.
What an amusing response. Name calling -- "troll" -- and "suffering butt-hurt" when assuredly I am not so suffering suggests to me you are indeed Berlin_Freeper_New_York and are yourself rather -- in your words -- butt-hurt..Sure you are a Troll suffering butt-hurt. Here you admit to your butt-hurt:
I come to think he is not in Germany.You went running to my About Me Page to personally insult me about where I state I am from.
What does my About Me Page have to do with Putin's invasion of Ukraine? Nothing, butt-hurt Troll.
As to me,As to you... EEGator wanted a coward so you decided to show him one that is a butt-hurt Troll, who goes running to a FReepers About Me Page even though you don't have one.
Sounds like an “alt” I use when I play my TANKI game on line.
Davydov will find a way to claim that they don’t work.
natofop/neowanker/hohonazi tanks
Wins today’s award for originality ….
Neocon Wanker....
It won’t look like that. Most likely some electronic device.
Seriously, it’s pointless reasoning with them.
I posted this video to YouTube 19 years ago and it's had 191,000 views. And though the Democrats no longer control Congress as they did in 2004, the prospect that they could regain that control should frighten every sane citizen. As one commenter remarked in 2019, "Every year this video becomes more relevant". Almost forgot: VOTE DEMOCRAT!

thx...
I did not "insult" you in any way, nor did I "run" to your "About" page, put there for all to see by you.
But surely your writing "a butt-hurt Troll, who goes running to a FReepers About Me Page even though you don't have one" sounds a tad like an insult on your part.
Kudos to you for your video. Absolutely correct.
To further the defense of 2A, I recommend Rudolph Rummel's book and web site "Power Kills." It is government -- as an entity in every age and land -- which has perpetrated violence on its own people and its neighbors. Rummel coined the term, "democide," for without the ability for a people to defend itself, that people will be less free.
The site is still maintained via the University of Hawaii.

Best wishes.
Yes you did run to my about me page to post with another Troll attacking me as a coward, which is posted here for all to see.
Add to that you posted about me to another Troll personally attacking me, but were not brave enough to ping me.
How about since running in support of a Troll to my About Me Page, you create one for yourself, otherwise you are the coward.
