Not content w/ the mega billions already in his pocket, Zelensky now says
he wants US tax dollars to Ukraine “according to the Israeli model”......here’s what he means:

US Foreign aid to Israel

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
Biden keeps gaslighting Americans about the “need” for
American foreign aid tax dollars to Ukraine and Israel.
Here’s why they DONT need it:
About $113.1 billion in tax dollars were authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for economic support;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other non-defense spending.
US tax dollars helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 educators, 517,000 health workers, and 56,500 first responders
<><>helped sustain critical healthcare services,
<><>helped meet pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people,
<><>assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million people,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income families
<><>helped subsidize 480,000 persons with disabilities,
<><>bought supplies for farmers,
<><>financed finding markets for small business.
Besides weaponry, Israel also receives economic and humanitarian foreign aid, which supports broad economic development and sociopolitical stability and can include non-military support related to the country’s pressing security needs.
Military aid from US taxpayers has blanketed Israel over the years. They have more than enough resources, now, to nail Hamas and Hezbollah. Wealthy Israel has very low debt, and actually had a budget surplus this year, while the US is $33 trillion in debt, a debt which future generations are saddled with.
You’re on fire this morning 🔥
He used July 4 to call for this. Very odd and I wonder what the founders thought about such entanglements.......... /s
They also point out in the comments Ukraine is not an ally of the U.S. official or otherwise!
He’s a U.S. Congressman and should know better
Pure grift it is.
Put Putin and Zel in a room together and fight to the death. No more dead civilians.
No one here is arguing for American boots on the ground.
The article is titled:
Rep. Don Bacon: Arm Ukraine to the teethWe should arm Ukraine to the teeth!
Regards,
Check your calendar. Bill Clinton is no longer president.
Oh, now many American mothers have done just that by claiming that they, the sons, are absolutely certain they are girls.
There is no limit to perversion so long as there are no consequences.
As to wasting more $$ on UK, bloody ‘Ell no. This guy wanting this is owned by weapons suppliers and kickbacks from Uk.
