Sens. Vance, Lee, and Johnson Join Elon and Vivek to Slam ‘Endless Funding’ for Ukraine
breitbart ^ | 2/12/2024 | BRADLEY JAYE

Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk in an X Space on Monday for more than one hour to slam efforts to rush through tens of millions of dollars in additional funding for Ukraine’s stalemate war against Russia.

The discussion occurred before a crucial expected Monday night procedural vote on the foreign aid package. Sixty senators are needed for that vote on cloture to end debate on the bill, clearing the way for a likely Wednesday vote on final passage.

The trio of senators urged listeners to contact their House members to demand opposition to the package, which has suffered from increased unpopularity as its details are exposed.

“The assumption, as of a day ago, was the thing would certainly pass,” said Vance:

I still think that it’s likely to pass, but I think what we’ve done is two things today. We’ve sort of commandeered the floor of the Senate using various procedural mechanisms to try to delay the thing as much as possible. I think it’s given time for the news media and others to sort of surface some of the important problems with the legislation. And also, I think, sort of gin up our House colleagues to prepare to stop this thing.

“It funds Ukraine to the tune of another $61 billion,” Vance explained, saying the bills fail to “meaningfully address the problems that we have within our own defense industrial base.”

Thanks. Elon and Vivek are highly intelligent, always worth reading or listening to. Vivek will hopefully have a plan in Trump’s cabinet.

Putin’s ultimate objective in Ukraine is cultural genocide.

Already in the occupied territory his minions are suppressing the Ukrainian language, kidnapping Ukrainian children and sending them to Moscow for “conversion”, denying jobs, driving licenses, professional licenses, even medical care unless you get a Russian passport, etc., etc.

How anyone could oppose assistance to Ukraine, knowing this, (and don’t tell me they don’t), is unforgivable.

Not to ignore the fact that Israel is facing real, physical genocide at the hands of the followers of the Pedophile Prophet 24/7/365.

What you state is true.
Yet. We do not know where the money is going or how it is spent.

Tell you what Chad....why don’t you and all the other zeepers drain your savings accounts, pool your money and write Zelenkyy a big check. Perhaps you can hand deliver it yourself and join the Ukrainian military.

More importantly, ‘some’ Zeepers are constantly asking detractors for “link please” but offer none with their claims.

By the time the war between Russia and Ukraine became newsworthy, joe’s hands had been in it.. that little person took money from anywhere he could get it. and a war tends to take up time, energy, and a country.... kept them busy.

If it was all known.. public... it’s not just the United States being torn apart with the bad crew in the democratic party.

Ridding the world of WEF faggots and pedos is a good thing.

Just a little factoid - the corruption involving the Bidens that y'all keep ignorantly screeching about happened on Poroshenko's watch, not Zelenskyy's. Zelenskyy has been firing corrupt officials left and right.

Because there's no auditing or oversight allowed for the money being spent.

I'd be willing to bet a lot of it is going to non-profits and/or NGOs that in reality, aren't helping Ukraine, but are paying for the ships, buses, etc to bring people from all over the world to our Southern border AND going towards supporting the illegals once they get here.

We have a criminal, illegitimate leftist government run by Obama's WH admin and you trust that they're using that money to help Ukraine and not hurt the USA?

You'd lose your money. Most of it is going to enable Ukraine to buy U.S.-made weapons and ammo. The money never actually leaves the United States.

Since there are no audits of Ukraine money, please show us the economic mechanics that prove your assertion.
