The only person who has interests in Ukraine is Biden, ranging from his long-standing financial interests with Hunter, to reinforcing his vision of himself as Mr. Power Player (remember his boasting about getting rid of the anti-corruption prosecutor by making a financial threat to the country’s foreign aid), to a good old Wag the Dog to distract from the disaster the Dems have created here - as well as the bonus of keeping alive the memory of the Dem’s Russia, Russia, Russia anti-Trump narrative.

And yet we have huge numbers of people here on FR who are just loving him for it and just eat up this garbage Ukraine propaganda with a spoon. I strongly suspect that a large part of the propaganda budget goes for hiring vicious trolls to go on FR and attack anybody who suggests that whatever of this conflict is real could be settled through negotiations (refused by Biden and Zelensky) and that much of it is simply a Dem-manipulated show…unfortunately, thanks to the money stream, it is a show with real fatalities, most of them among the Ukrainians themselves, who are just being used by two cynical presidents, Biden (or whoever is running him) and his puppet Zelensky.

None of this has to be happening.

🇺🇸 I cannot blame the current generation on FreeRepublic for being historically illiterate, as the system most have been brought up in deliberately wanted an insane, revisionist, and debased historical illiteracy, not unlike Joseph Stalin’s effort to rewrite modern world history to align with Global Marxist Communist objectives and goals.

*******

🎚🇺🇸 As nearly every country has stipulated to Ukraine for all weapons purchases from the beginning, the US has also from the beginning openly required Ukraine weapons funding (= loans) from the US be used for the purchase of US weapon systems.

From 24 FEB 2022 to the end of SEP 2022, the US WEAPONS funding/loans to Ukraine has formally been APPROX $14.5 Billion Dollars.

As such, UA’s weapons purchases of $14.5 Billion dollars from US, have resulted in both DIRECT, and INDIRECT payments from Ukraine to either US defense companies, or from the Pentagon, which then replenishes itself with new purchases from the defense contractors.

AGAIN —

🔹️ So $14.5 Billion Dollars in US WEAPONS FINANCING/LOANS to Ukraine since February 24, 2022 to the end of September 2022, has been $14.5 Billion Dollars which has go e to US Defense companies and the Pentagon, AS ARE the financing/loans to Ukraine from other countries.

*******

🔹️ As such, the Ujited States is literally funding the *BACKFILL* of new weapons systems and R&D/development, and procurement of the US arsenal’s.

🔹️ As well, the $14.5 Billion dollars in weapons loans to Ukraine, have been set up nearly the same to WWII’s US “Lend Lease” to Britain and Russia. (Albeit the US outright forgave CCCP’s massive “Lend Lease” war debt to the US.

Britain only more recently paid off it’s WWII war debt to the US.

Basic modern non-revisionist history here folks.

Countries around the world which have provided loans to Ukraine have stipulated the same for weapons funding.

🔹️ Chinese and Iranian lending to Russia is ultimately the SAME, but have utilized more direct energy as a form of payment, which in Iran’s case has been sold at higher profits, often through Russian, Chinese, and Iranian NGO’s.

So while hate the fraudulent puppet anti-God/anti-liberty government we have, and t Bi eye are acting to morally weaken the entire DOD, IC, DOJ, etc...,

🔹️ NO, the war in Ukraine is not weakening US weapons posture. 🇺🇸🎚

What do us taxpayers get?

US taxpayers get a lot of real benefits:

(1) The money spent to build advanced military systems gets spent on salaries to the American workers who design and build these systems. All of America in machine shops, factories, and offices the money spent on these systems will go to Americans who will use it to buy guns or new cars, or improve their houses, or save for retirement.

(2) When other nations see how effective our military systems are they will want to buy them. That will increase the sales of our defense contractors and feed even more money to the Americans working in machine shops, factories, and offices that design and make these systems.

(3) Russia will be less of a threat. As their military is destroyed and everyone sees that their missile launches are less and less effective the risk of a greater war with Russia decreases. If Russia can be defeated by Ukraine NATO will be able to reduce its expenditures dramatically. That will save the US taxpayers money for generations.

Sounds like winning to me.

What would they be doing different if they were intentionally setting us up?

Letting Russia win in Ukraine. That would show China that the US would not assist a foreign nation being invaded, and China would go ahead and invade Taiwan.

loudly broadcasting the casualties to the American people plainly stating How many dead American soldiers is the Ukraine worth to you?

I hope Putin is smarter than you are. Killing American soldiers, or civilians, is the best way known to get Americans angry and ready to fight. Just look at history.

If a country manages to kill enough Americans their destruction and defeat is certain.
