Ukraine Says U.S. Money Not Going to Ukraine, ‘Benefiting American Interests’
Breitbart ^ | 01/29/2024 | EMMA-JO MORRIS

Posted on 01/29/2024 10:40:54 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The $130 billion sent to Ukraine so far for its war against Russia is apparently not actually going to Ukraine, but is really “benefiting American interests,” a spokesperson for Ukraine told Breitbart News.

The shock claim was in response to a request for information by Breitbart News on whether or not any American tax dollars had gone specifically to Uman, a city in the war-torn Eastern European nation that is currently seeing a condo built on a Jewish mass grave, as previously reported, in violation of a bilateral agreement with the U.S., and in violation of international law.

Breitbart reported on January 10 that a city in Ukraine is proceeding with building a condo on a Jewish mass grave, despite three letters from members of Congress from both parties to the Ukrainian government demanding the cemetery be protected.

When we give military aid to another country, usually it either is “value based”—which means we transfer X units @ $Y per unit. No money is exchanged.

The other way we do it is we give the country a “catalog” of available systems. The we tell them they have a “credit” to spend in that catalog.

The money never leaves the US. The weapons systems leave.

Let’s demand the receipts so we can put the many American politicians in prison where they belong.

Absolutely. This is why it is being dispersed from the World Bank to “undisclosed classified recipients”.

Yep... “Send me more now or I will name names”.

Like Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer, Graham, Obama, Clinton...

Explain how that process pays for their .gov and their pensioners.

Either directly, or through the “We give Ukraine money in the form of buying them weapons made by US companies.” (Who in return make large campaign contributions to politicians, and/or promise them lucrative board of directors positions once they leave office).

Did you even read past the headline? We’re you unaware that in addition to infrastructure, we the American taxpayer pay the salaries, pensions, and benefits of every single government employee, including teachers, EMTs, firemen, military, hospital staff, and of course their politicians.

Without us funding them, Ukraine would collapse overnight.

Did you read “usually”. That denotes “most of the time.” There is other aid, which is “not” military aid.

I know the language is more precise than most folks around here like. “Most” of the aid is weapons system.

And Russia is destroying NATO weapons stocks because we move them there to be hit.

And Europe is again forced to buy natural gas from Russia due to Biden’s pigheadness on Texas.

We are going to have to send Ukraine a lot more money to make ends meet! Everybody knew it had to be audited by law and NOBDY did anything about it.

Wouldn’t doubt it, except they left out the part about Zelensky and his cohort getting their cut.

“The $130 billion sent to Ukraine so far for its war against Russia is apparently not actually going to Ukraine, but is really “benefiting American interests,” a spokesperson for Ukraine told Breitbart News.”

Been saying this for ages now.

We’re sending old weapons to Ukraine, some of them even slated for disposal/destruction and then Congress is charging us taxpayers for NEW equipment. And keep in mind the replacements for the old gear have already been paid for!

So what the hell is going on?

There’s billions allocated for Ukraine, 90% or more of it never leaves the USA, so where the hell is it all going?
