Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday said the U.S. has “never given a blank check” to Ukraine, a week after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) warned a Republican-controlled House would not write a “blank check” to the war-torn country.

“Someone made a statement of we’re not giving a blank check to Ukraine. We’ve never given a blank check to Ukraine,” Pelosi said during a joint press conference in Croatia alongside Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković on Monday.

So... is she now un-American? McCarthy was called that and worse for suggesting the blank check may end...

Of course no "blank check". Always a quid pro quo.

Currently another ‘blank check’ $50 billion on the table, making the ‘blank check’ money/aid sent to Ukraine roughly $110 billion.

Russian military budget for 2021: $65.9 billion.

Ukraine’s economy has imploded.
Ukraine is broke and needs monthly infusions of billions.
EU economies are imploding.
UK economy is imploding.
US economy is imploding.
West/EU/UK/US/NATO running out of military hardware to send Ukraine.

But let’s send the 101st for a PR photo op.
And let’s continue the ‘blank check’ money funding of the Titanic.....

Republicans tried to include some accountability into one of the giveaways to Ukraine. They were shut down. I wonder how Nancy defines “accountability”

She’s right…

The amounts they’re handing over to the Ukraine are too big to fit on a check..

And most of it’s not going to Ukraine.

Ukraine is just laundering it for a cut.

The coming audit will be jaw dropping I suspect.
