Ukraine is ‘freaking out’ as McCarthy chaos threatens US aid
POLITICO ^ | Oct 4, 2023 | Veronika Melkozerova

After a year and a half of war, Ukraine’s leaders now have a new reason to worry: Mounting political chaos in America is threatening to derail their supply of money and weapons.

Days after lawmakers shelved a vital U.S. plan to send billions of dollars in aid to Kyiv, U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted by his own Republican Party colleagues. Aid to Ukraine was named as one of the reasons.

In Kyiv, officials are at a loss as to what might happen next. Their staunchest military ally suddenly looks unreliable, despite assurances from President Biden and others the U.S. will remain steadfast until Ukraine’s invaders are defeated.

“We are freaking out. For us it is a disaster,” said Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, a senior Ukrainian MP who chairs the committee on the country’s integration with the European Union.

Poland and Hungary shutting down aid from and thru their countries respectively. Germany and England saying they are tapped out. And now Washington signalling an end to the gravy train. The War Party is going to have to get creative to find a way to keep funding their little escapade.

No more money laundering and a serious forensic audit of what happened to the money already sent.
Taxpayers are on the hook to pay for this and deserve to know who got what, how much and how much was kicked back to the swamp creatures in DC.
Trump 2024.

Gaetz saved the world !

I just got a "what were you thinking?" email from a liberal friend. I told him "Hey, your party was 100% for it. We couldn't have done it without you. And it's part of our plan to have Trump preside over Biden's impeachment. Thanks for your help!" I think I heard his head exploding. Some people just have no sense of humor.

Seriously, there are a lot of people in DC and Europe and elsewhere who are dismayed that the money artery they've been tapping is going dry. We'll never know how much has been diverted to the wrong pockets but estimates range from "outrageous" to "unbelievable".

” ... and so we can restore the bipartisan consensus on supporting their own national interest by supporting Ukraine.”

*****

Uh huh .... ‘bipartisan’ concensus is fading away quickly & I don’t see much national interest other than a place/way to money launder taxpayer funds back to the corruptocrats, incuding FJB & his cronies (which are not exclusively DemonRats).

Are these the same grifters that thought the same thing about when we sent BILLIONS to Iraq and Afghanistan and they thought they’d be paying us back with interest. Yeah right....
