Full court press by the Moscowphiles to sacrifice Ukraine. What country will be next? Moldova? Lithuania? Romania?
I hoping it's Minnesota, Illinois, or Canada.

You want my money for Ukraine? You yourself come and take it out of my pocket. If you're successfull, good for you. If you aren't successfull....

...but they will do it through inflation... I continue to keep track of the Money supply thru the Mises web site. The Feds are actually cutting back! This usually results in a Recession. Reagan did the same thing but because he also cut taxes and red tape the pain was minimized and Inflation cut way back.

It’s probably double clout. They use all kinds of chicanery and shady accounting to get it that number. One of the things they love to do is to take an M1 tank, Bradley, or a missile that was built 20 or 30 years ago, they count the value of the weapon not at replacement cost, but as a fully depreciated piece of equipment. One of their really hilarious tricks is to say they were going to cut up that Bradley anyway, and that would cost him money to do. So they even give it a negative price tag and claim they were saving money.

A debt-based money supply across the world means that new debt needs to keep being issued - since debt payments reduce the supply.
The American consumer can't afford new debt as we face a very large global recession.
That means the US government will create debt to prop up our economy - and what better way of creating a new debt cycle than spending it on things that are not durable goods - bombs, bullets, tanks, and planes.
They're all a den of thieves. Every last one of them...

Maybe $4 million will actually make it to Ukraine.

It’s nonsense. It’s at least double that. I can’t believe people are actually excepting the numbers coming from the Pentagon, when they admit they have short falls of 1 trillion here, 2 trillion there. Another thing they do is in-kind work. When we have spy planes swarming all over the Black sea, we pour all kinds of equipment into Poland, we blow up the pipeline, we help them with targeting, all of that is just normal operations for the military and not charged to Ukraine… Even though it’s specific aid to them. There’s a lot of shady accounting going on

More specifically, this Mises chart shows the growth of the M2 money supply since the Reagan years. You'll notice these trends:
- Slow and steady rise of M2 from Reagan to end of Bush Jr.
- Big spike in M2 during all eight Obama years.
- Leveling off of M2 during Trump term.
- Enormous jump in M2 during COVID/Biden era.
- First M2 drop in 2022 since FDR decoupled from gold in 1933.

You aren’t stopping that Gravy Train.
Watch, like Sessions and Barr couldn’t start an Investigation based on credible accusations - the DS will keep that money flowing.
Have you seen Zelensky in DC? He’s treated like a Rock Star!

...First M2 drop in 2022 since FDR decoupled from gold in 1933... This is puzzling. Why would they do something that would wreck the economy right before an election? Are they so sure the fix is in that they are not worried about losing power? My theory is that the CCP picked Biden to sabotage America. Presidents usually go up in popularity during a war. Is that what they are counting on?

New Ukraine “aid” bill would bring the total to over $173 billion 100 billion last year sent to Ukraine, mostly in older weapons out of a total US budget of 6.5 trillion, is a drop in the bucket.
Destroying our enemies military without one US injury or death is a worthwhile goal and an important warning to China. US spent 5% of its military budget(Donating mostly older weapons) to destroy half of Russia’s capability with the help of Ukraine.
