White House: ‘Critically Important’ We Fund Ukraine to Avoid Shutdown, ‘We’ll Have to See’ if Border’s Included
Breitbart ^

Posted on 10/03/2023 6:00:05 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

On Monday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” White House Council of Economic Advisers Chair Jared Bernstein stated that it’s “clear we have to support” funding for Ukraine and “we can’t let a small group of extreme Republicans block this critically important geopolitical investment” but “We’ll have to see” if border security funding is part of keeping the government open.

KEYWORDS:
If I may translate: Territorial integrity of the United States, not a priority. Money to Ukraine top priority (notice the term used: "important geopolitical investment").

I give up on Republicans if Ukraine is funded. We’re borrowing to spend for a third of the budget. Some things have to stop.

No more funds and resources to Ukraine! Send it all to the Mexican border.

Just as long as no American taxpayer’s money goes to help American taxpayers

NOR securing America’s borders

It’s all good with the Disastrous Joe Biden Administration

Who thought, while young, POTUS would openly state a foreign country is more important than the US?

You can have money for Ukraine but you have to seal off the US Southern border first. That should be the ask.

Hmm 1/2 of the GOP Congress votes again Ukraine funding and all the Democrats vote for it but of course it the GOP’s fault it passes

Never seen a political movement more determined to immolate themselves then Conservatives inc.

They know when Ukraine falls the jig is up. They would destroy all of us to keep from being found out.

The Shape Shifters of Ukraine… Losing The Battle
Posted on October 3, 2023 by Helena

Excerpt:

“US claims its aide to Ukraine to be roughly $120 billion, the EU claims their contribution is $85 billion, and another $55 billion has been wracked up by other state actors. $260 billion dedicated, yet according to the World Bank where ALL funds must be laundered, only $38 billion was actually sent out. A discrepancy of $222 billion – 85% – lost in the melee.”

Risk associated with not meeting this objective include democratic backsliding,
continued corruption, constraints on economic growth, and lack of confidence in
Ukrainian democracy and governance. Failure in this area would diminish Ukraine’s
legitimacy and damage its ability to attract investors; undermine the credibility of the
government; and create space for anti-reform elements, risking destabilization and/or
public backlash.

If one half voted for it, then conservatives do have a problem.

It doesn’t get any clearer than this. America last. Ukraine first. Go to hell Zeepers. There still are ZERO American interests in Ukraine. Eff Ukraine.

Careful, Dems will promise anything and renege. Reagan fell for it.

I would also demand that the US stop paying Ukraine pensions. Europe can pay for pensions if they want them. And how about real auditing of aid to Ukraine.
