President Biden's administration is scrambling to track the nearly $20 billion in military aid it has sent to Ukraine as Republicans warn of impending audits when they take control of the House in January.
Likely future House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said his party will not be giving Ukraine a "blank check" to fend off Russia's invasion. A potential audit would determine how much, if any, of the U.S. aid is ending up in the wrong hands. The Biden administration's previous tracking efforts have inspected only a fraction of the aid provided to the country.
While some staunch Ukraine allies fear Republicans will cut off aid to the country, there remains widespread support for ramping up oversight efforts in Congress.

Oh yes, strongly worded letter in one hand and another's hand leaving deposits in Grassley's pocket.
I've sat through this play too many times.
Artillery is breaking in Ukraine. It’s becoming a problem for the Pentagon.

Check the donations to the DNC and Democrat politicians. That probably accounts for most of that $20 billion. The rest went to the Biden’s and the “Clinton Foundation”.
In business, it would be tracked to the penny. Government is way too big with way too much money.
You should see the dramatic and comprehensive efforts that companies take to make sure that cooperation payments made for social programs don’t get into the wrong hands. This is to avoid charges of FCPA violations. Often the measures taken to secure these payments for programs cost more than the programs themselves.
I doubt such efforts were made by the plugs administration.
Well, you can hope so go right ahead. Don’t hold your breath though.
“warn of audits” WTF?!!
Giving away billions of our dollars without audits should be

How stupid can a statement be? The repooblican war mongers are in with both feet for financing ukraine.
Repooblicans love their mailbox money just like the deamoncraps do. Gotta keep those “campaign contributions” rolling in so we can continue to have the best gooberment money can buy.
The artillery needs the routine maintenance it requires and is getting it.
Yes, follow the extortion money. More important: find out what ukraine has on the big guy that they will reveal if the money stops.
They will get a report from the admin with mostly blacked out due to national security concerns.
McConnell, Pelosi et al went to Ukraine before we began financing their war with Russia. If they weren’t there to set up accountability procedures what were they there for? Kickback procedures!
For balance,.
A recent poll has also shown that the number of Republicans who feel the U.S. is doing too much for Ukraine rose from 6 percent in March 2023 to 30 percent of all Americas - and 48 percent of all Republicans - at the end of October.2...Much of this rising U.S. opposition to continuing aid to Ukraine does, however, come from only considering its cost and ignoring the strategic benefits it provides to the U.S. It is developing because far too much of the reporting on the Ukraine war ignores the fact that the U.S. has already obtained major strategic benefits from aiding the Ukraine,..- https://www.csis.org/analysis/united-states-aid-ukraine-investment-whose-benefits-greatly-exceed-its-cost
I have little faith that the Republichickens will go anywhere with this.
But if they did, I wonder how much of it they would find that made its way back to Biden?
ZELENSKY on Dancing With The Stars.
Just a bunch of showman putting on a show.
I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine, but anything for them except food and medical aid, needs stop immediately. Their government is a corrupt money laundering entity. God save us from the evil of OUR present government, who not only wants to destabilize us AND the world, but will not bat an eyelash at sacrificing the very life blood our troops.
Democrats are afraid that some of this money will have proven to be sent to Biden and/or Democrat donors. The main stream media loved to say “Trump Russia collusion” for 3 years. Let’s see if the media is willing to say “Biden Ukraine Democrat Donor money laundering.”
