The amount of money for arms and support to Ukraine is small compared with the $100s of billions that sanctions on Russia are costing the US economy and the global economy due to higher energy costs, inflation, disruption of supply chains, financial disruption and other effects.

Find out which US politicians got the US taxpayer’s $$ that were supposedly sent to Ukraine. Whose pockets are those dollars lining? How about the biolabs in Ukraine & money laundering that was going on via FU Biden & Son, Soros, Romney, Pelosi, McCain, et al.?

Ukraine Worked With Democrats Against Trump
in 2016 to Stop Putin. The Bet Backfired Badly.
Real Clear Investigations ^
Posted on 3/10/2022, 8:11:28 AM by FarCenter

Six years ago, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of their country, the Ukrainians bet that a Hillary Clinton presidency would offer better protection from Russian President Vladimir Putin, even though he had invaded Crimea during the Obama-Biden administration, whose Russian policies Clinton vowed to continue.

Working with both the Obama administration and the Clinton campaign, Ukrainian government officials intervened in the 2016 race to help Clinton and hurt Trump in a sweeping and systematic foreign influence operation that’s been largely ignored by the press. The improper, if not illegal, operation was run chiefly out of the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington, where officials worked hand-in-glove with a Ukrainian-American activist and Clinton campaign operative to attack the Trump campaign. The Obama White House was also deeply involved in an effort to groom their own favored leader in Ukraine and then work with his government to dig up dirt on – and even investigate — their political rival.

Ukrainian and Democratic operatives also huddled with American journalists to spread damaging information on Trump and his advisers – including allegations of illicit Russian-tied payments that, though later proved false, forced the resignation of his campaign manager Paul Manafort. The embassy actually weighed a plan to get Congress to investigate Manafort and Trump and stage hearings in the run-up to the election.

As it worked behind the scenes to undermine Trump, Ukraine also tried to kneecap him publicly. Ukraine’s ambassador took the extraordinary step of attacking Trump in an Op-Ed article published in The Hill, an influential U.S. Capitol newspaper, while other top Ukrainian officials slammed the GOP candidate on social media.

Unless I missed it, according to the “fact sheet” at the link the assistance appears to be entirely in equipment, not cash.

A shocking idea... How about spending American money on securing the American border and then going line by line through every treaty American signed up to for mutual defense?

America is involved in Ukraine for a whole bunch of reasons, good and bad, but the mandate for providing military support to Ukraine following a hostile invasion comes directly from Russia, UK and USA all signing the Budapest Memorandum.

When Russia unilaterally violated the agreement, it forced the USA and Russia onto opposing sides. Unless someone has a compelling reason why Russia should walk away from that without a bloody nose, America would be foolish to just pull the plug.

Putin wants a restored Russia in a cold war with the USA and in hot wars all over Europe. How is tgat in the interests of the USA?

There's much sense in working towards a negotiated settlement. She's not helping.

She's not speaking for anybody. She's just the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.

She is the only one saying that.

Most of the rest have said they need more “accounting.”

She is not the best face for the Republican Party.

I agree. Why? Because we don’t need to be sending truckload after truckload of money and arms to the Ukraine when BIDEN has ushered in over 5 million illegals (many who will vote next week) into this country. I don’t give a crap about “The Ukraine.” I read and saw everything I wanted to know about it.

I like MTG but if she wants Russia on the Polish border then the GOP will be made to pay a price.

Russia has been on Poland’s border since 1945. If they wanted Poland, don’t you think they would have tried to take it by now?

U.S. has sent aid to "pay Ukrainian workers," and I don't think they're paid in artillery shells.

Ukraine to get $1.7bn in new aid to pay healthcare workers

This is not about my opinion but thank you for trying to change the subject.

My point is that the Democrats absolutely will make something of it if Ukraine falls to Russia because the GOP cut support to the country.

To say or pretend otherwise is utter ignorance.

The US is also sending money to the Palestinian government. That’s corruption cubed.
