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.

I don’t mind helping Ukraine. But let’s build the wall. If we need more border patrol, then let’s do that. Capture the illegals. Then we can talk about helping Ukraine. But we can’t just ignore our country. That’s what our government did.

“US taxpayers have been freaking out”

Exactly what I was going to write. Nobody writes about us freaking out over our enormous loss of purchasing power due to gross government malfeasance and war on the middle class.

We borrow the money to pay for the entire Ukrainian government to the tune of $5 billion a month. We fund the bureaucracy, the military, and government pensions for the 2nd most corrupt country in Europe after Russia.

Our corrupt, compromised President says we will continue funding Ukraine for as long as it takes. And the big money will be in the rebuilding efforts, which will be a trillion dollars for starters.

President Nixon would’ve unleashed hell on Castro
Instead he gave us inflation, high interest rates, gas lines, Max 55 MPH national (big government) speed limit, wage and price controls and our new "trading partner" China.

Here come Penny Pritzker and the Clinton Foundation. The Biden family has first dibs, but they are next up.

Our corrupt and compromised President has never stopped partnering with Putin to nuke up Death to America Iran. Ukraine has always been a political backwater and a sidebar issue to everyone except Ukrainians and the Russians busy trying to exterminate them.

Slovakia. Rocking new president.

No aid to Ukraine.

Condemns sanctions on Russia.

The tide has turned.
—————-

You forgot Hungary…they were the first to figure out what the corrupted little beggars game was….the corrupted EU and US are withholding funds to Hungary because they haven’t bought into the Western narrative.

Orban stated a few days ago the ethnic Hungarian areas in Ukraine are still being terrorized by the Ukie government. I hope when Ukraine gets carved up like a Thanksgiving Turkey, Hungary, Poland and Romania get their historic lands back.

Ukraine 1991-2023

You know a number of the UKRAINIAN LOBBY MEMBERS in our midst have insisted that much of our aid to Ukraine is “lend lease” and they’ll pay us back.
———-

Ukraine defaulted on some of their loans after Maidan 2014. Crooks, there is a good reason they were never admitted to the EU OR NATO- corruption, all of Europe knows this.

What the hell are you smoking, or are you off your meds?

America as a country has no interests in Ukraine, the jackasses in charge do.

A jackass dem-lite turd that is 51% lifetime “conservative voting record” is “too far right” to the retard dems?

the same guy that bent over for them and gave them every damn thing they wanted with no concessions?

you need to get to a detox ward or your shrink’s office Asap. next thing you’re going to say is Hitler won ww2 or some shit like that.

You say, “The US has been unreliable since about 1964.” Try 1961 and the Bay of Pigs, Cuba.

So the Ukes will now spill the beans on Biden’s corruption and Biden will do something really stupid and dire.
————
It is being called “ Zelensky’s Revenge” for awhile now ( western MSM will not mention it) and the world is eagerly awaiting for the corrupted little comedian to drop the “ goods” on senile Joe’s ( and about eight other Democrats and a few Neo Cons) massive corruption in Ukraine.

I can hardly wait.

The Ukes can sign it now and kick the occupiers out.

That's not exactly how surrender works. And you are completely upside down about who is doing the occupying, and whose country is being occupied.

There are 195 countries in the world and only one regularly supports Ukraine.

That's simply not true. Why do you make stuff up?

Many countries in Europe have given far more than the US has as a percentage of their GDP. Source: https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/
