Breitbart ^ | 09/04/2023 | Kurt Zindulka

In a potential signal of shifting attitudes on how the war in Ukraine is covered in the legacy media, the New York Times is starting to slowly acknowledge the endemic corruption that has been a defining feature of the former Soviet state as officials have admitted that money for military contracts has “vanished”.

Following the dismissal of Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov amid a slew of corruption scandals surrounding the war effort against Russia, the New York Times acknowledged that the “enduring challenge of corruption in Ukraine” has “emerged as a rare area of criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership.”

Ukraine was corrupt before the war.

Banned opposition media and political opponents......Just like here in America!

When enough Republican senators voted against insisting on accountability for the billions ( thousands of millions) of American dollars for Ukraine, I gave up hope that the party of collusion in DC would ever do anything good for ordinary Americans.

The article addresses a few million in a universe of billions. Kind of like a magician misdirecting one’s attention. Waiting for a “pentagon wars” for today more aptly called the Kiev Papers staring Kelsey Gramavitsky to play the lead.

If the NYSlimes/mockingbirds are reporting it, then it means the CIA is looking for a graceful exit from their latest forever war.

How would you like to be the last Ukrainian soldier to die for FJB, his crackhead son, and Zelensky’s oligarchs?

Did Donald Rumsfeld say trillions of dollars were missing from the Pentagon budget?

ChatGPT (GPT-3.5) >
Yes, there is a famous quote attributed to Donald Rumsfeld, who served as the U.S. Secretary of Defense under Presidents Gerald Ford and George W. Bush. In a press conference on September 10, 2001, Rumsfeld stated:

“[...] according to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.”

This statement was widely reported in the media and sparked a lot of interest and concern about the financial practices and accounting systems within the Pentagon. It’s important to note that this statement referred to financial transactions that were unaccounted for or not properly tracked in the Pentagon’s budget records, rather than implying that trillions of dollars had been stolen or were missing in a criminal sense.

The issue of financial accountability at the Pentagon has been a subject of ongoing scrutiny and efforts to improve transparency and auditing practices within the Department of Defense.

Ukraine has been a money making operation for prominent US Politicians for over a decade.

Lindsey Graham and Mitch fattening up on it, too

It’s no coincidence that Blumenthal and Romney insist on Forever Funding.

Hunter still has “assets” in Ukraine

It’s a boondoggle, above all.

Right on the eve of 9/11. Then even that bombshell revelation paled to everything that came after.
