This War MUST and WILL END SOON — Too much Death and Destruction. The U.S. has spent BILLIONS of Dollars Globally, with little to show. WHEN AMERICA IS STRONG, THE WORLD IS AT PEACE.

Start loan paybacks?... Too much to ask, just cut them off.

Well, since a judge has ruled that Sec’y Bessent is not allowed to actually supervise the Executive Department that he was appointed and confirmed to, he might as well try and claw money back from Ukraine.

True.

Besides, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, so let it part of the Russian Federation "again".

What if Zelensky’s claim that he only received half of what Biden and the democract’s said they sent? The money must have gone somewhere and if it can be traced back to kickbacks, and money going into the pockets of politicians and contractors, than heads will roll.

I would almost say the money spent would be worth it if we could identify and jail the corrupt people who tried to get rich off of Ukraine. It would be a huge part of draining the swamp.

One of these days, “Z” will wake up and realize there’s a reason “gentlemen” wear suits and nor 8th grade attire.

Yeah, or if zelensky can provide the names that were getting money funneled to them, that would help, too.

Since Congress/Biden would not track where the money goes once given to the recipient, might the Sec of the Treasury ask the recipient? If the recipient can’t satisfactorily account for funds, might the Sec of Treasury conclude funds must terminate until a proper accounting is made?

Isn’t this the Secretary of State’s job? Where is Rubio? Since when does Treasury meet officials to discuss war?

I like how Trump thinks out of the box but I don’t get this? Rubio is incompetent?

It never occurred to you that maybe they are talking money instead of war, huh?

Rubio is also in Europe for an event. A bunch of cabinet members went to Europe this week.
