I was all about turning off the flow of dollars to Iraq and Afghanistan and even played a small part in helping the Iraqis learn to spend their budget and wean themselves off of American and coalition dollars.

And the money that was sent there was heavily audited.

I personally provided lots of documentation for internal and outside auditors. Was there some corruption going on? Oh, hell yeah. And a lot of it was uncovered and people were held accountable, some even serving prison time.

With the Ukraine dollars, it appears that nobody is auditing that. And some high-ranking slimebag official always seems to visit Ukraine shortly after another funding drop. It’s been Biden, Pelosi, Graham…it was Blinken this last time.

Strange, that.

Very doubtful that all the funding for Iraq or Afghanistan was all accounted for. What is disclosed and accounted for, is not the totality of what was ‘approved’. Heck, funding that is approved is not the same as what was spent. We have that kind of spending inconsistencies within domestic spending, where a lot more is spent than what the government officially approves. “WE” spend a lot of money on school grants and on paying off college student loans, so, we could be doing the same with foreign spending and not know about it. When it comes to 5-8 trillion dollars of spending each year, we won’t know exactly where it’s going, and that;s the same for military and domestic spending. Big government says we don’t have a need o know.
