Wednesday, during an appearance on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) noted the contradiction in U.S. policy of naming China as “the defining threat of our generation” but spending billions on Ukraine to take on Russia.
“Senator, we send Janet Yellen over there to yapper flap with President Xi,” host Laura Ingraham said. “And again, all these businessman us CEOs go over there and have dinner with him and suck up to him. And this is what actually our FBI Director is saying, this is bad news.”
“Oh, it’s terrible news,” Hawley replied. “But you know, Chris Wray, what is he doing with his time? I mean, if China’s the number one threat, why is he focused on sending FBI agents to the doors of pro-life Catholic protesters, who just want to march for their faith and demonstrate peacefully, and he’s got SWAT teams showing up at their doors in the morning to terrorize them. I mean, come on.”

Because Brandon likes them.
It's worse than that, Josh.
We're not sending cash, we're sending hundreds of billions of Dollars' worth of WEAPONS AND MUNITIONS to Ukraine that we would need in case of conflict with China.
The Biden Administration has drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, and is draining our weapons stockpiles, leaving us unprepared for a conflict with China over Taiwan.
The answer is obvious...China is paying off our politicians. Some day a brave person will point this out. Trump said it in so many words which is why they unleashed COVID on us and then led a coup.
I completely agree with your sentiment except for one thing. We are not going to go to war with China over Taiwan. Built up or not.
Exactly, much of our government has been paid off.
And the Russians destroy most of the weapons we send in place. It makes it easier for Russia and China to destroy our reserves and deplete our treasury. It is also why Putin didn’t go for a kill shot on Zelensky, even given the multiple opportunities to do so. Putin isn’t an idiot, and is playing the game. At some time, such as if Trump wins, Putin will take the rest of Ukraine before he appears.
My theory is this the Clinton-Obama-Neocon Leftist Moles set this war up to weaken the West so China wins in the end.
It’s a theory but I think it holds water.
Clinton started NATO east towards Russia in 1997 the coup in Ukraine in 2014 on Obama’s watch leading to Putin taking Crimea.
Then with Biden more provocations of Russia leading to the 2022 Russian attacks.
omg!
Um, kickbacks?
If Ukraine loses, then China wins because Russia is a Chinese vassal state.
If Ukraine loses, then China wins because Russia is a Chinese vassal state.
so that we will be broke if china ever attacks of course
“Why are we sending billions of dollars to Ukraine...” - STOP RIGHT THERE.
Regardless of China. IMHO - this is all just excuses for back-door channels of moving money where politicians get rich. Whether it is lobbying from the military industrial complex or sham companies in the Ukraine that funnel money home. There’s probably a 100 ways to launder.
China is a separate topic but also raises the same concerns about why we dance on egg shells with them. We know many of our politicians have relationships with high-ranking Chinese.
It’s about time we wrap our heads around JUST how corrupt this government has become.
Because we buy a lot of crap from China and we don’t want to upset them?
Follow the money.
Yeah, best to let people fighting for their existence like UKR and Israel and maybe Taiwan fight their own battles ‘cause our stuff designed to kill them is better left in storage. and it cost too many billions of our hard earned money, unlike the trillions JoeB spent on Green New Deal and Inflation Reduction.
“Hawley: ‘Why Are We Sending Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to Ukraine if China Is Our Number One Global Threat?’ “
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Because our ally Ukraine has been illegally invaded by Russia, and because Russia has massacred 70.000 Ukrainians in less than 2 years.
China has not invaded any of our allies yet. China has not assassinated 70.000 pro-american citizens. Thus China is for now a lesser priority.
However, if Russia invades our Taiwan allies, then the situation we’ll be just as terrible as in Ukraine.
If CHINA invades Taiwan I meant.
