Mitch McConnell Suggests Funding Ukraine With Your Tax Dollars Is “Number One Priority” For United States (Video in article link)
Trending Politics ^ | 12/20/22 | Clayton Keirns

On Tuesday, Senator Mitch McConnell proved once again that he is totally disconnected from the desires of the American people. Instead of stopping Biden from enacting more policies that are harming our economy, McConnell says that “helping Ukraine” is what he wants to be focused on right now. And exactly what money is the government using to help Ukraine? That’s right, your tax dollars.

“Making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China, providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. That’s the number one priority for the United States right now, according to most Republicans. That’s sort of how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment,” he said.

“Are you being paid to say that?”

You caught me.

I have a deal with Zelensky where I get a 5% commission on all US Aid to Ukraine.

Usual fee is 10%, but I gave him a discount.

“The alternative is to fund another Cold War with a massive near-wartime military budget to rebuild closed air force bases, closed naval bases, to build more ships and aircraft, and etc. at a cost of trillions upon trillions.”

And yet another alternative is to end the project to rule the entire earth, and be an honest nation, not running around destabilizing nations, being honest, having our word mean something, and quit with treachery and a crazed aggression as the centerpiece of our national policy.

Basically, we need to act the way you act with neighbors. Stay out of other people’s business, don’t be a sneak, don’t create trouble, etc. If someone on your block acted like the US Government, you’d keep a shotgun handy.

Western Civilization will survive no matter many how many Mexicans are around.

If the Asiatic empires conquer the free world that ends things.

Ukraine must be more than just laundering operation. There must be even darker secrets buried there.
———-
Exactly. Huge chunks of money, “ donations”, have come through Ukrainian banks- to both Democrats and Republicans.

Long before this conflict, the Ukrainian financial system was known to be the most corrupted in the world. There were many reasons Ukraine was consistently denied entry into the EU, their wide scale corruption was one, their defaulting on their debt was another.

Democrats and their butt boys in the press are going to stick this war on Mitch McConnell ... And most of us dislike him so much we’re OK with that.

Ukraine ‘aid’ is a Swamp money-laundering kickback scheme, and McConnell is up to his eyeballs in it.
McCarthy should tell Mitch that if the Senate passes Biden’s 1.7 trillion dollar budget then the very first House hearings will be on Ukraine kickbacks.
This is the theft of American taxpayer money to illegally fund political stuff that would not pass the House or Senate on its own.
This announcement by McConnell was stupid, and gives McCarthy leverage if he’s got the cojones to use it.

Can’t wait till this is over, but we will just do it again. I know of a contractor that makes lots of money staging for military operations in numerous countries. It is a business ya know. Syria, Kosovo, Africa, Asia, on and on it goes. And by golly you are unpatriotic if you disagree with the war business.

He told Biden, Macron, Scholz and Putin to kiss his ass when they told him to flee Ukraine when the invasion first started.

America IS in an alliance with Ukraine—so is UK and Poland. We will do everything to beat Russia. Expect to see Ukraine War Bonds for sale at your local supermarket. Americans must be ready to die for Ukraine. They are that important to the oligarchs of America. Russia can not be permitted to win this war, they must be broken and forced to embrace Western Values.
