Yea, I don’t think they were actually h ping to conduct the audit in the middle of the street, in the middle of bombed areas. I think they can do it from afar using things like, uh, computers.

“The idea of conducting an audit in the middle of a very active war zone is completely ludicrous and impractical. “

Straw man argument. Have them just show us where all the big ticket weapons and hardware is that we bought. Heck, show us the top 3 we pick. Should be simple.

Rumors flying that much of the stuff is resold immediately and is on the black market, being shipped all over the world.

Send a team in to investigate. Pick 3 big ones, see where they went.

“We sent you 30 MWRAPS last week. Where are they?” We sent you 90 of our latest drones. Where are they?”

Tucker has a major bug up his butt against stopping Russia in Ukraine.

His guest is a total defeatist on Russia who appears on Russian state tv, even before this war, to state that Russia deserves all these territories, we are threatening Russia, and that Russia will defeat us.

But shoveling money through that system is workable? Why isn’t the IMF and world bank wiping out their debt instead? Ahh, no, they are giving them new loans. Ukraine shouldn’t even get a penny.

Spoken like a true general who lost Afghanistan and Iraq. If the world is feeling charitable then they are all free to wipe out the Ukrainian debt instead of giving them new loans. Funny how that isn’t actually happening.

America is monitoring the use of its weapons. Directly.

Tucker and his guest do not want the weapons sent and that’s the argument they made.

Smokescreen about an audit was just that.

I’m sure you know we are not only training the use of these weapons in Poland, we have operators on the ground and we are assisting with logistics and telemetry like crazy. Also evaluating the effectiveness of our weapons.

Good,points. If he has nothing to hide, it shouldn’t be a problem. The people giving the money should have the right to know where the oney is going to determine if more money should keep going to the recipients- even in the middle of a war. It can be done without interrupting the war efforts. If a majority of,the $$ is going where it should, then great. If not, the giver has a right to know.

No American general lost Afghanistan or Iraq. Not even close.

We’re covering their ‘economic losses’ not just sending assets to a war zone. I’d like to know what the money is paying for.
IMF, Wall Street Hedge funds are making big bank on this war. (some as much as 300% on their ‘investment’) We are covering the costs of Ukraine’s sovereign debt. Investors should take losses for their poor investment. (Bail out Wall Street. Main Street loses. Sound familiar?)

By what basis do you think the United States military is not monitoring the use of its weapons in Ukraine?
Obviously they are.
You decided something isn’t being checked because Tucker Carlton, from his Pentagon command post, decided to demand an audit?

Annualized, that would be $84 billion or about 56% of the entire GDP for Ukraine! That’s insane. And where, exactly, is this money coming from? I mean, which US printing press?

Ukraine is still relatively small potatoes unless things go nuclear.

Russia is now a full-fledged strategic ally of China for at least the next 25 years. Both are now working to end US lead deep state globalism. They and the BRICS are officially forming a bloc to stop trade in, and destroy the USD. The world is facing serious energy and supply chain shortages, food shortages and inflation, encouraged by China and Russia to achieve the above ends.

America's short-sighted, money-grubbing political elites, combined with psychotic, blinkered neocons and their push to absorb a corrupt ukraine will break the established US-led world order

I'd say its their biggest blunder yet.

Exactly. This aid is to cover the national debt for the specific purpose of ensuring the bankers holding the Ukrainian notes are held completely harmless.

The issue, imho, is wall street hedge funds and the IMF making money from this war by trading sovereign debt of Russia and Ukraine.
We can and should audit that.

Russell Brand has a video on this. For your edification. Better than the drab articles

We have every right to ask how leaders (including our own senate and congress critters) amass wealth way beyond their alleged salary.

The deep state rats break into a flop sweat whenever you bring up audits of their favorite money launderer.

Until the Russia military lays down their arms and exists Ukraine the only people spending time pointing fingers at Zelinsky are the allies of Putin.

Not defending Zelinsky. Just pointing out the obvious that he has to stay focused on his task at hand.
