100s of thousands of dead and maimed young men are just bloody grist running through the MIC grift mill.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa - Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy implied Saturday that American involvement in the war in Ukraine may be because of President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden.
“The purpose of the U.S. military [is] to advance American interests, to protect the homeland. Not to aimlessly fight some random war that’s arguably a repayment for a private bribe that a family member of the United States received, $5 million from Burisma,” said Ramaswamy, speaking at a campaign event to a crowd of about 60 Iowans in Council Bluffs.
Ramaswamy, who’s crisscrossing Iowa in a bid to win the Republican nomination, has been highly critical of U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine while on the trail.
“Was the payment to Hunter Biden corrupt? Absolutely it was. Do I think that it has some relationship towards our posture toward Ukraine? I think it’s likely that it does,” Ramaswamy said.
Ramaswamy’s comments were an apparent reference to an alleged bribe involving both the president and his son. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., has claimed he was told by a whistleblower - whose claims are uncorroborated - about a tip regarding a $5 million payment from a foreign national to Joe Biden, then vice president, and a family member “relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”
Republicans later identified the other family member as Hunter Biden, who served at the time as an attorney and board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

It’s a very distinct possibility. Ukraine holds the secrets of the Biden Crime Family and Biden doesn’t want anyone in Ukraine to start talking, so he’s shelling out BILLIONS in hush money. Hushy-money, isn’t that what Alvin Bragg is trying to put Trump in jail for? The big difference here is that the BILLIONS in hush-money Biden is paying out is taxpayer money.
Much as I loathe the Bidens, there’s ample reason for preventing Muskovite re-colonization of Ukraine.
Only our IQ deprived Ukranian Cheerleaders believe we’re there to spread Western democracy. There is something so dark and ugly behind this killing, that we’ll go to the brink of nuclear war to keep it hidden.
Captain Obvious to the rescue! (Is that a cabinet position yet!)
Nothing gets past this guy
That may be, but that’s not the question. Did the Hunter connection influence US policy in Ukraine? That’s the question.
Hunter is an “attorney”?!
He’s not the only one who thinks so.
Need the Captain Obvious graphic.
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in hush money and countless dead, all to cover up Biden Crime Family crimes.
It’s been obvious from the start. It’s refreshing to have a candidate call it out so plainly.
You raise an excellent point about Bragg going after Trump.
Precisely.
At this point in time, after seeing what they’ve been doing to Pres Trump since he came down the elevator and the exposing of just how rotten, corrupt, incompetent, malicious, dishonest 98% of them are, if anyone can fall for the crap this guy is saying, they should have to take a test to vote.
I’m not a DeSantis guy by any stretch, but at least he’s a Governor and made decisions.
This guy is a “former” liberal(potentially not so former) tech guy/billionaire that just says what he knows people want to hear. It’s amazing.
It’s called money laundering and it’s illegal. A vp knows better
Taking in millions $$$ and paying back favors with B tax dollars. Imagine what they would do if it was a Trump.
It isnt!. Who are they after? And who gets a pass.
Yes he is and is still in good standing with the DC Bar.
Neocons don’t care. Like women, they answer the question that “should have been asked “.
Even worse, it might cause people to think he isn’t that smart.
Wow wow wow…NBC News covered this? It’s a big story that 1) a candidate went there and 2) NBC News covered it instead of some obscure backwater blog.
*indicted, not impeached. The Obama/Biden DOJ is a Goon Squad.
100s of thousands of dead and maimed young men are just bloody grist running through the MIC grift mill.
Vivek Ramaswamy is 1000 times more successful than 99% of posters and 100 times more intelligent. That is enough qualifications. DeSantis never made one cent profit in main street economy, just another career politician building wealth.
