OOPSIE! Pentagon ‘Accounting Error’ of $3 Billion Will Benefit Ukraine
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 05/19/2023 6:30:49 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The folks at the Pentagon apparently made a slight accounting mistake, which was only off by about $3 billion.

The media is reporting this as a positive, because the ‘error’ will ultimately benefit Ukraine in the form of more weapons.

Name another industry where you can make this kind of mistake and people just shrug.

The difference between UCMJ action and ‘oopsie’ is...

(rhetorical question; should be obvious)

The thing is, a few billion here and a few billion there,

pretty soon you're talking about real money.

These are the same posters who swore covid-84 was the most scariest thing ever, the vaxxes were the most wondrous thing ever and Fauci was a genius.

Paid propagandists.

“Good enough for government work” takes on a lesser meaning, as if that were even possible.

Not Ukraine

Who are the good guys?

There are no Good Guys. Put this war in Mexico, and call the sides drug cartels, and we would ignore it.

Only civilians stuck in the middle are ‘innocent’.

MIC love to repeat that lie.

As we the country were warned by Eisenhower decades ago, War is good for business, the beginning , all of the destruction in the middle, and reconstruction at the end. With an added effect of removing many middle/lower class conscripts.

MIC dirty big secret.

Yep, absolutely. What scares me is how many are duped into the “Where is your National Patriotism?” scam to perpetually steal from our Great Grandkids.

“Because after all Putin is such a fine loving Christian man”

I detect the sarcasm in your comment, but frankly Putin’s position has seemingly been much more Christian than Zelensky’s. The only reason the US has poured so much into this war is to keep their secrets in Ukraine. Putin may not be a saint, but I believe the Russians are “the good guys” here, if there is such a thing.

We have a bunch of corrupt criminals in our government. The whole thing needs to be cleaned out from the top down. They give our money to Ukraine instead of using it to help secure our borders. God only knows how many Chinese, Islamic, Russian and cartel members are crossing our border right now. They pretend to be worried about a balloon while they ignore a real threat coming across our border. What an absolute shit show.
