There were cheers and complaints galore when money first started funneling into Ukraine. It has been normalized now to the point that massive funds being sent over aren't even noticed..
As many of us have been saying since before the first taxpayer dollar was sent to Ukraine for "aid," the money pit is endless. It's no longer making many headlines when massive amounts of money are funneled through Ukraine to fund whatever nefarious plans the globalist elites have for it. Oligarchs are getting paid. Ukraine's corrupt government officials are getting paid. Other nations are being paid by proxy. It's arguably the biggest foreign relations con-job since the Iraq Wars.
And the vast majority of Americans, both leftists and conservatives, fell for the official line that it's all for the Ukrainian people. Meanwhile, the people are seeing literally none of it. Not a penny. But whether you believe the "aid" was justified or not in the beginning, today it has become a joke that isn't funny enough for many to repeat. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert delivered the unfortunate punchline on Twitter Saturday:
Biden sent $775 million more to Ukraine yesterday. This is basically a weekly phenomenon. He's spending our taxpayer dollars on a fight that is not ours and doing so without any limit. Why are we allowing this?
...
Lest we forget, we have zero transparency into how the money is being spent. All we know for sure is that the Ukrainian people are not receiving anything in the form of direct aid and any indirect aid they're receiving is so minimal, not even the propagandists can muster enough footage to report on all the wonderful ways the money is helping.
We can assume that at least some of it is being used to fuel the war efforts in a counterintuitive attempt to prolong the regional conflict. It's not nearly enough for Ukraine to actually win as that would require hundreds of billions if not over a trillion dollars and/or NATO's direct military intervention... but I don't want to give the Biden-Harris regime any ideas.
For the most part, Americans are ignoring news about Ukraine... and that's the point. Now that the spigot of "aid" dollars has been normalized, there's no need for corporate media to sell it to us. A handful of prominent conservatives are still speaking out.
Larry Elder: Joe Biden wants to send millions more of taxpayer dollars to Ukraine. Instead, why not just send the new 87,000 armed IRS agents?
...
Kyle Becker: The Ukraine War is *OVER.* Russia is a nuclear power. It has accomplished a 'fait accompli.' E. Ukraine speaks Russian & has deep ties to Russia. This is not opinion. This is *fact.* Stop wasting time and money. Sign a realistic peace agreement and let's all move on, shall we?
I am no fan of Russia. But I am no fan of pointless wars that waste billions & escalate the odds of a more devastating war. Let's be realists. Ukraine has always been a buffer zone for Russia against Europe. NATO screwed up. Unwind this war and examine 'lessons learned.'
...
(The globalists, of course, don't care. They consider Ukraine to be the 'semi-periphery' that they are trying to integrate into the 'core,' while marginalizing nationalist states like Russia. That's is what this is all about: 5G warfare to bring about global 'convergence.')
This is similar in theory to Hegelian dialectic, but we'll spare everyone the theoretical shop talk at midnight on a Friday night.

Joel Pollak: What's the goal in Ukraine? No one will say
...
As Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse pointed out, they're not trying hard enough to gaslight us:
...
Biden hasn’t been doing enough to produce good propaganda to keep the public interested?
...
The reason the regime isn't pushing a good war narrative is because it's not necessary. There are only small pockets of outrage over the taxpayer dollars getting sucked into Ukraine's black hole. Meanwhile, Americans are suffering.
Just how much more of our money is Ukraine going to demand? It’s far from over. When the war ends, biden will send them another billion or so of our money.
What incriminating information does it have on biden?
I call for an audit.
Oh No!!!! The Saint Zelensky cheerleaders on Free Republic will have a stroke after reading this story!
Get ready Pal...
“Why are we allowing this?“
Now THERE’S a question…
Zylensky and other Ukranian thieves take a cut.......most of is deposited in offshore banks for the Biden Crime Family.
Don’t forget that the Turtle was in Ukraine last week. Was he making his own deal?
Oh No!!!! The Saint Zelensky cheerleaders on Free Republic will have a stroke after reading this story!
Get ready Pal...
The people of Ukraine didn’t deserve what Putin has done. However Zelensky is a fraud, and any effort to avoid the conflict was nil.
The DNC has an election to fund and Ukraine is one of their main laundries.
Bannon,on America’s Voice, said Ukraine is the most corrupt nation and biden is giving them millions.. billions.. no other nation will give them anything.. but biden is.
My question... is he, biden, set up for blackmail
The Bidenistas on FR cheer.
Once again, what legislation authorizes these weekly “investments” in the Ukrainian / US Taxpayer Biz Bag for kickbacks to whomever is getting rich with our treasure, and what we’re the floor votes? I have yet to see an answer.
Putin outlined specific objectives and worked hard to minimize civilian casualties. He has offered Ukraine chances to surrender at least a dozen times.
- Putin doesn’t want Russia to be a part of the Great Reset.
- Putin doesn’t want Russia to import Western “values” like porn, homosexuality, transgendered, and pedophilia.
- Putin doesn’t want African or Middle Eastern “migrants” to disrupt the character and history of his country, like they’re currently doing (and suceeding) in Sweden and other European nations.
Now you understand why our corrupt government, being led around the nose by global elites and probably Israel, wants war with Russia.
Blame our representative form of government and party system AND most egregious - voters that keep voting for the same liberal, socialist, globalists!
How many of your liberal voting acquaintances refuse to connect the problems we have in our society and world to the people they elect to office? In my world - the answer is NONE !
Putin is part of a pedophile ring and murdered the man who exposed him.
Putin wants Ukraine’s black soil agricultural areas.
Putin wants Ukraine’s mill towns.
Putin wants Ukraine’s coal and petro resources.
Putin wants a giant land grab.
Putin also invaded the Republic of Georgia and threatens all his neighbors.
Putin has been in power for two decades and has a net worth over 1000 times that of Zelensky (check Forbes and Elon Musk estimates).
