Grifters gonna grift.
Our State Department along with “NGO’s” that mysteriously hire mostly retired government workers that pushed money to the NGO’s on “behalf of the American people” have created quite a racket in the Ukraine.
If you ever wondered how/why the reaction was so violent and swift to Trump suggesting the Ukraine investigate this just follow the money. In typical Trump fashion he mentioned the President’s son, but the problem and issues run far deeper to include many NGO’s that are effectively globalist arms in bed with intel agencies that push “color revolutions”.
Trump is right, again. It is criminal that we have pushed 10 times the amount of money that the EU has provided. He was also right about the need to figure out where all this money spent in our name has gone - he was indelicate with his request (never personalize it) and gave the left a hook to push mass hysteria when all he had to do was demand a full accounting of all foreign aid to the Ukraine from the US.
Why did he not do so? He talked about this on the campaign trail (where did all our money go?) but to my knowledge he never pushed the issue or he was thwarted in doing so.
I know there were people inside the inner circle of his own administration that did not want to open that can of worms.
I would love to know.
Perhaps the Republicans in office have not pushed the issue because they know Trump is wrong (lied?). See my Comment #61. Europe has committed at least $29 billion, and so far US has spent/disbursed $43 billion of $54 voted on. so, less than twice as much, NOT 10 times. Also, I presume a lot of their Military Industrial Complex buddies/lobbyists are getting good contracts being all spent here in the US for salaries and jobs and subcontractors for about 1/2 of US money approved. Remember election campaign contributions?
