I did not say that all of that funding was accounted for. I said it was closely tracked and audited. I knew some of the DFAS bean counters who were in country and reporting financials on a daily basis. As I said, I provided various documents to DCMA/DCAA auditors upon request as did many of my colleagues. It might not have been “all accounted for,” but the majority of it was and there was close scrutiny. Anomalies that arose in the auditing were reported in the news. Missing chunks of money were pursued and this was disclosed to John and Jane Q. Public.
I know a little about this subject and Ukrainian snow jobs aren’t going to work on me.
Those billions being sent to Ukraine are not being audited and tracked in that manner. I suspect only a handful of bad actors know the true dispersal of that money and equipment. There has always been corruption in government, but the blatancy and the corruption itself have increased exponentially since Obama and Biden got control of things.
I will not repeat this again and become ensnared in a circuitous Ukie-loop. I remain vehemently opposed to our tax dollars being sent to a known money laundering operation with no audits or accountability.
So, your verdict when it comes to Ukraine is that, we have to stop all funding because there are corrupt parties there and perhaps in the U.S.? Your verdict is that, we have to decide to let Ukraine be taken over by Russia, and that’s that?
