Rep. Adam Smith: Calls for Oversight of Ukraine Aid Are ‘Russian Propaganda’
Breitbart ^ | 12/05/2022 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 12/06/2022 4:52:37 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith (D-WA) disparaged those calling for increased oversight over billions of U.S. taxpayer funds going to Ukraine as Russian propagandists during an event on Saturday.

Smith, whose committee is supposed to provide oversight over the Pentagon, said the idea that the aid is not being overseen properly “makes me a little crazy,” according to a writeup by Politico.

So...more socialist propaganda from American socialists, I see. Sure, let’s NOT take a look and call it propaganda if some one wants to see how American socialists are financially raping the taxpayers. IF our leaders were smart they would allow the two most corrupt nations on the planet decimate each other and only then offer to help. Before China does, preferably. But NOOO!!!! instead we deplete our own resources in order to put a thumb on the scale of insanity and decimate ourselves. Looks more like the long term plan every day. Not pretty but pretty simple.

US aid to Ukraine either is, or is not, being effectively overseen.
If it is, then we can be confident our weapons are being used only to kill orcs, that's a good thing.

But absent effective oversight, all we're doing is transferring our best technology to those same orcs.

Which is it?

When a Democrat says something is Russian propaganda, it’s the official confirmation that it’s true.

Demanding accountability is Russian propaganda.

Asking questions is Russian propaganda.

Exposing that the Hunter Biden laptop story, which was labeled as Russian propaganda, was not Russian propaganda, is Russian Propaganda.

It’s the go-to knee-jerk phrase of the left.

Of course, because wanting to know where and how our money is spent is the EXACT same thing as supporting Putin! /s

Are THEY really this stupid? Or do they think WE are really this stupid?!?

Breitbart’s headline is misleading. There already is a very strict oversight.

Yet some people say there is “none” and at the same time they decry the US military oversight people doing their job in Ukraine as a “sneaking invasion just like Vietnam”.

anytime oversight or second look is shat upon, you can be sure it is necessary

In any business, there is oversight to ensure business is honest and ethical. Those who are guilty do not like oversight.
