OTOH, the Biden Crime Family is all attiter....
Biden is going to finance the US “rebuilding" of war-torn Ukraine.
Taxpayers will get the bills, and the Bidens get a piece of the billions.

House Speaker Mike Johnson Johnson told reporters Tuesday after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that there was no resolution in sight to the impasse over President Biden’s request for $61.4 billion in new funding for Ukraine.
Johnson (R-La.) said that he told Zelesnky during a private meeting that “we stand with him and against [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” but that he was concerned about the lack of a plan to resolve the conflict and provide oversight of the proposed spending.
“I have asked the White House since the day that I was handed the gavel as speaker for clarity. We need clear articulation of the strategy to allow Ukraine to win, and thus far their responses have been insufficient,” Johnson said.
“They have not provided us the clarity and the detail that we requested over and over since literally 24 hours after I was handed the gavel … And so what the Biden administration seems to be asking for is billions of additional dollars with no appropriate oversight, no clear strategy to win, and none of the answers that I think the American people are owed.”

Zelensky cannot be believed.
When will the little runt understand?
He has not an iota of credibility”
Is Zelensky taking his “Grifter World Tour” to Germany, France and the UK for hand outs? Seems this is a European problem. Their money is perfectly fine to buy USA military equipment.
That is truly sickening. That money belongs in America, to be spent on Americans and though it irks me that there's a whole, parasitic class of Americans who live off the "system," I'd rather the money sqaundered on lining the pockets of Eastern European kleptocrats instead be squandered on them. Let Ukraine care for its own, pay its own government salaries and pensions etc. etc. etc. Not one penny more of US taxpayers' dollars for that corrupt craphole.
How dare he ask for oversight. Doesn’t he trust Saint Volodymyr? /s
Why does Zelensky ALWAYS run to America for pallets of American tax dollars when he needs more “aid” to fight his war. I know all of the European countries have lots of free Euros floating around out there that they can lend to him.
Why is the bass turd worried about what’s in THEIR “pockets” and doesn’t GAS what Americans have in THEIR “pockets”. Biden is a crook.
Ukraine screwed again. This time by the political Right.
Just use the $100 billion allocated build EV chargers, of which not one has been built.
I wonder if any of our tax money being laundered in Ukraine is returning to Johnson’s pocket. I’m not saying it is, but the Biden Crime Family isn’t the only entity benefitting from it.

Johnson states what I have said all along. The matter is less about the aid to Ukraine than it is with the Biden administration there is no strategic plan, no strategy, just multiple reactionary vollies of “more aid”, and there is, with Biden, little transparency in the aid given.
Like with GW Bush and the war in Iraq, the issue was less about the ideal than it was about the conduct, how things were being done. The same is true with the defense of Ukraine and the Biden administration.
Maybe Zelensky should go full Jerry Maguire: “GIVE ME THE MONEY!!!”
Or, in this case, yacht upkeep.
WHERE IS THIS $$$ COMING FROM?
Other than printing presses in the basement of the FED!
RNC REPORT-—Biden at cozy fireside chat w/ Zelensky:
<><>tells the press to “hush up”
<><>announces he “just signed another $200 million drawdown
<><>Ukraine gets another bundle from the Department of Defense
<><>Biden then stops, sits and stares, as his handlers remove press from the Oval Office.
I don't think Biden and the Democrats view it as a "request".
Well he is concerned what more can we ask?
Excellent! Not our circus.
Bret Baier: “What do you want to tell the people and the governments of the world?”
Zelenskyyy: “Don’t spend your money on the roads, spend ALL your money on the weapons*, on the drones*, on the society*, on the pensions*”
* For Ukraine
Eef you no geev us cash, then geev us credit! Says the little grifting grease stain. Lol!
