Trump wants to give Ukraine a 'loan' — but some of his GOP allies on Capitol Hill worry it would never be paid back

Trump raised the idea of providing US aid to Ukraine via loan so that it might get paid back. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are skeptical that will happen. "I just think a loan ends up being a grant," said one House Republican.

As opposed to what has been going on— just giving Ukraine billions for things way beyond the scope of war needs— and the members of Congress and the Executive getting kickbacks from “approved” NGOs in Ukraine. Notably to democrats with their hands out, Rinos who know better but do not care and the usual corruptocrats in DC.

Loan them money— then there is an AUDIT of where it went,and no kickback possible. Audit forces them to be scrutinized at all times.

There is a simple solution. Make the loan to Ukraine using the Chinese bonds we hold from the 1930s.

Bad attempted finessing of something with a clear moral position—which is not funding the needless death of more Ukrainians.

Thats when things get interesting , when they do not pay the loan back....leverage for forward operating bases, intel collecting, etc.

Trump is right on the money as usual.

Lend Lease baby!

Yep. I support DJT on almost everything he promotes, but not this. C’mon…

Best to watch it play out, as the Ukies are losing badly in every sector and they have absolutely no means of support or “ repayment “ for western welfare, it is a no brainer common sense will at one point take hold….even senile Joe washed his hands of Afghanistan, it was a debacle, a disgrace.

What most don’t fully realize the Ukies economy has been totally destroyed, infrastructure, manufacturing, population, etc….the military side of the campaign depends on the “ economics”, and with Ukraine totally 100 percent dependent on western welfare for survival, it is only a matter of time.

Yup, Ukraine has been made totally dependent upon “free” foreign military supplies and American welfare dollars are paying everything from military wages, the salaries of government officials, medical care, welfare for younger Ukrainians and pensions for retired Ukrainians .

We are basically floating the entire Ukrainian economy and military capability. Once this support is removed, Ukraine goes into immediate economic and military collapse.

It's the craziest thing we have ever seen
