Vivek Ramaswamy suggests U.S. may be aiding Ukraine because of Hunter Biden
NBC 'News' ^ | 8/06/23 | Alex Tabet, Katherine Koretski

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 much deeper than the Biden crime family or the globalists’ desire to hide from public scrutiny their bio weapons development in Ukraine, one of the most corrupt nations in the west.

It was suggested on FR, some time back.. that hunter left the laptop to be found, and that he was tired of being used by his father.

With all that money going to Ukraine, and constant harassment of Trump, I suspect others are trying to cover their asses too. Not just the Bidens. Pelosi was quick to impeach over a phone call. There’s something very bad being covered up. Just a suspicion.

Could be.

But, I’m thinking that will be filed in the...things we’ll never know...category.

Quite frankly, I don’t think there’s one person in the family that has the brains to add 2+2 and get it right. To include Dr Jill. One has to wonder what role the dead brother played in all of this.

I’m of the belief that there are lots of hands in those pots of money, the ones making the decisions and that they’ve been propping up the Biden’s as patsy’s to do all the dirty work.

I don’t think you, me, nor anyone else could find one instance of Biden not being a moron, so it’s kind of hard for me to believe that he’s the mastermind.

Then again, I could be totally wrong and the suggestion you speak of could be 100% accurate.

There is not question we are in Ukraine to hide Biden and Barak bribes from the sex slave industry.

“Talk like this could get Vivek impeached.”

I could use another term, but the Neocon Supporters here would probably report me.

As it is, the BIGGEST FEAR for the Neocons right now is that American Public will finally figure out that the “Ukraine” that Hunter & Joe Biden got rich from with is the SAME UKRAINE as we’re marching into World War 3 for. So far, by spiking the Biden part of the story, the Media has pretty much prevented that linkage from taking place. But, eventually, the public will learn the TRUTH, and people like Vivek are not afraid to bring that out.

So I’ll make a predication so Neocon Cheerleaders, get your pencils out, and I’ll help here: Aug 6th, 9:22 AM Eastern Time, BOBL PREDICTS: “Six months from now, the media will SHUT DOWN any mention of Ukraine, for any reason and will deny that they ever claimed Ukraine could drive out the Russians.”

Some other folks who got campaign $$ from Ukrainians: Pelosi, Schiff, Romney. Probably many more. They support Ukraine and behold! Campaign $$ into their hands. It's like magic.
