US Adds $4.5 Billion in Aid, $1 Billion in Arms

Insider Paper ^ | 8/8/22 | Brendan Byrne

The funding will be sent to the Ukraine government in tranches. It will start with a $3 billion transfer in August, the USAID stated. Earlier funding amounted to $1.3 billion in June followed by $1.7 billion in July, as per USAID’s statement.

The funds are to help the Ukrainian government to maintain its primary functions. These include social and financial assistance for the underprivileged population, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons, as the Russia-Ukraine war goes on.

We are picking up their welfare expenses

[DannyTN]

I don’t have a problem picking up the welfare expenses.

But it’s just crazy that Moscow Joe is slow walking military aid.

There wouldn’t be as many welfare expenses if we gave Ukraine the proper tools to kick Russia out.

A big middle finger to Americans that had their lives badly damaged during covid, by government caused energy shortages, etc.

[DannyTN]

And of course we should use the frozen Russian reserves to pay for the welfare expenses.

I didn't figure you did.

We're spending in Ukraine,
Lives and money in Ukraine,
What a war-ious feeling,
So Nazi again!

Okay, mushroom cloud,
We're out and we're proud,
We're spending and resetting in Ukraine!

[escapefromboston]

I’m sure the BidenBots are happy

[cranked]

And they still losing....

[Lurkinanloomin]

How many other countries welfare expenses would you like to pay for?

Remember when Mitch told Trump & needy Americans to shove it?

McConnell says 'no realistic path' for $2G stimulus checks

This is money laundering.

Many pockets are getting lined with a lot of Dollars.

[Mount Athos]

Send more $40 Billions

Maybe it’s time for NATO to get directly involved and push Russia out.

But then you get back to that sticky conundrum of the Ukraine not being part of NATO. I think people like you need a hobby other than discussing world events.

[kiryandil]

Ya got a spare billion for a fellow neocon globalist who's down on his luck?

[JonPreston]

LOL!

Don’t forget that he is one of the champions of the Federal Reserve on this site.

The private bank which enables endless spending to the detriment of the people.

[DannyTN]

Technicalithy.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a threat to all of Europe, including NATO countries. NATO has plenty of justification of getting involved despite Ukraine not being a member.
