It turns out all of the millions of dollars worth of arms weapons the Biden Administration is sending to Ukraine to fight its ongoing war with Russia are ending up in the hands of criminal gangs.
The U.S. Defense Department’s inspector general report found a lack of accountability in maintaining the equipment it sends to Ukraine.
According to the 19-page report by the Pentagon’s Office of Inspector General through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), a group posing as humanitarian aid workers worked to obtain a hoard of U.S.-provided bulletproof vests.
“In late June 2022, the SBU disrupted a group of Ukrainian criminals posing as members of a humanitarian aid organization who distributed bulletproof vests,” the report read. “The group illicitly imported the vests and sold them rather than distributed them to Ukrainian forces. A group member was found with a cache of vests worth $17,000.”
The report was issued last October, and since then, the U.S. has provided over $113 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including military, humanitarian, and financial aid.
Other groups managed to steal weapons stockpiles, hundreds of rifles, and helmets.
“In mid-August 2022, the SBU disrupted a group of volunteer battalion members who took more than 60 rifles and almost 1,000 rounds of ammunition and stored them illegally in a warehouse, presumably for sale on the black market,” the report continued.
The GOP-controlled House of Representatives passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act, which calls for a special inspector general to oversee spending in Ukraine.
Despite the Biden Administration opposing such an act, Republicans have vowed to stop sending millions of U.S. dollars to Ukraine.

GIBS-ME-DAT war booty to sell low for hard cash.
They are probably ending up in the hands of the Mexican cartels.
Hardly news.
CIA is just arming its next agents of influence, control and color-revolution in Europe
DC is a criminal gang
“60 rifles and almost 1,000 rounds of ammunition “
If that’s all.....raise your hand if you think it’s a real problem..
NOW ..... raise your hand if you think that is all..
hmmmm....
How else are the politicians supposed to get their kickbacks?
” .... a lack of accountability in maintaining the equipment it sends to Ukraine.”
*****
Why is this NOT a surprise? It does not appear that there is such a thing as accountability in government, medicine, or anything else these days.
Fast and Furious Part Deux.
The globalists are a criminal gang.
Next they’ll be telling us that all the money is going where it’s supposed to! /s

Blatantly false. If they said: Not all of the millions of dollars worth of weapons... it would be correct.
Claiming "all" of anything is silly, in such a conflict as the Ukraine-Russia war.
I am thinking we are all in the wrong business.
Yah, can’t expect Zelynskyy to successfully launder all the monies. Passing some off to actual thugs (not Ukraine thugs) is an easy way to skim.
Part of the original scam.
Violent crime against innocent, non-violent citizens will rise, and the dems will use that as the excuse for taking guns from the innocent, non-violent citizens.
Remember when Joe swapped Britney Griner for an international arms dealer? Now it makes sense. Maybe the arms dealer is donating 10% to Joe and his family.
Thus no !!!BREAKING!!!!
