US funding for Kiev has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and enriched Ukrainian oligarchs, the ex-president’s son claimed
The fighting between Russia and Ukraine has to end in talks, and in order to persuade President Vladimir Zelensky’s government to negotiate, Washington must stop sending money to Kiev, the eldest son of former US President Donald Trump has said.
Donald Trump Jr. was asked the conflict during his appearance on the Timcast IRL podcast on YouTube on Friday.
The 46-year-old said: “Cut off the money. It’s the only way you get them [Ukraine] to the table, right?”
The result of the $111 billion in military and economic assistance that Washington has provided to Kiev since February 2022 has been to “kill hundreds of thousands of innocent men, half of whom were probably indifferent to some of the politics cause they were ethnically Russian anyway,” he argued.
“We’re literally creating the oligarch class of billionaires in Ukraine with whatever is being siphoned off… while they send young men to die as cannon fodder on the frontlines because they couldn’t care less,” Trump Jr. said.
Despite all the Western aid, the Ukrainians “were never winning, they were probably never going to win” against Russia, he added.
If his father Donald Trump returns to the White House after the election in November, he will simply tell the government in Kiev: “Hey, you got like one more month of this and if you’re not at the table it’s done,” the ex-president’s son said.
“Guess what, Zelensky wouldn’t have a chance if we shut it down, so he’d come to the table and they [Moscow and Kiev] would come up with something,” Trump Jr. predicted.
On Friday, White House national security spokesman John Kirby acknowledged that the assistance that the US has been providing to Ukraine “has now ground to a halt.”
The announcement came as the Biden administration’s attempts to push through a $106 billion ‘national security package,’ which includes $60 billion for Kiev, continues to face staunch resistance from hardline Republican lawmakers, who have demanded stricter controls on the southern US border in exchange for approving the bill.
Earlier this week, Zelensky again urged the US politicians to unblock the aid, claiming he is now being forced to choose between paying pensions to 11 million people or buying weapons for troops on the frontline. “We simply must pay” the pensioners “because the elderly people will die” otherwise, he said.
We were badly damaged in this war, and for what? What has Ukraine and Zelensky ever done for us?
Tucker interviewed Trump’s military advisor several months ago on Rumble. He said that we’d given Ukraine so many weapons, we can’t defend ourselves.

From Catherine the Great to the fall of the Soviet Union Ukraine was ruled by Russia. I’m sure they don’t want to repeat it. My grandparents and great grandparents left Russian ruled Latvia before the Revolution. They did not like being ruled by Russians.
Just the same constant raging nuttiness you do on behalf of Russia.
“Russia is under attack because it has resisted the LGBT and Green agenda….”
Bulls***. Russia attacked a sovereign country without any legal justification whatsoever. Pack up your army of drunken savages and go home and this whole mess, which Russia started, goes away.
And once again for the record I hope both sides lose.

Sadly, there are still some who don’t realize the old Soviet Union had a “Cold War going out of business sale” some 30 years back.
Now, the only ones who win playing the nostalgia war game are the Military-Industrial-Political-Complex; everybody else just pays for it and dies for it to yield a profit of untold billions.
“Lastly : WWII made America a super power, economically speaking.”
- Not quite. We were already an economic superpower. We were recovering well from the depression by then. I’d say the war was a hindrance. -

America’s response to World War II was the most extraordinary mobilization of an idle economy in the history of the world. During the war 17 million new civilian jobs were created, industrial productivity increased by 96 percent, and corporate profits after taxes doubled. The government expenditures helped bring about the business recovery that had eluded the New Deal. War needs directly consumed over one-third of the output of industry, but the expanded productivity ensured a remarkable supply of consumer goods to the people as well. America was the only that saw an expansion of consumer goods despite wartime rationing. BY 1944, as a result of wage increases and overtime pay, real weekly wages before taxes in manufacturing were 50 percent higher than in 1939. The war also created entire new technologies, industries, and associated human skills.

We would have got there even without the war. Wouldn’t you rather have millions of cars and trucks and houses instead of tanks or warplanes?
“So Napoleonesque Of liberals To destroy Ukraine”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Some facts for you:
- Neither Republicans, Democrats, right-wingers or left-wingers are destroying Ukraine.
- America and NATO have no troops on the ground in Ukraine.
- America and NATO are not attacking Ukraine.
However:
- Russia has invaded Ukraine with 400.000 troops.
- Russia has leveled to the ground countless of villages, towns and is hitting the Capital city of Kiev in Ukraine.
- In the process Russia has eliminated 360.000 Russians and +70.000 Ukrainians
- Russia is allied to America’s worst enemies : Iran and Hamas
- Russia has A LOT to gain in having its ally Hamas attacking Israel. Great deflection from the Ukrainian front which has become a costly quagmire for Russia.
- Russia has now been forced to dedicate 41% of its entire national budget for its botched war against Ukraine. Russian tax payers are not happy...
Putins clown army are headed down
Klown. Vlads Klown
“We would have got there even without the war. Wouldn’t you rather have millions of cars and trucks and houses instead of tanks or warplanes?”

I want it all.
Cars, trucks, houses, tanks, warplanes, ships, missiles, etc...
History shows that all the military inventions always end up contributing the civil industrial production. They go hand-in-hand. A win for the economy.
Dnc delusions of granduer
Conquest - empire - gods
Usa money - weapons
Ukraine guts - blood
Then atomic bombs
I don’t know anything about Ukraine and it’s past but I personally think we should take care of the U.S. first.
Only way is for America/NATO to declare War on Russia and put together an army of five Million Men (Europeans and Americans) and invade Russia, crush her completely. Give half to China as a prise and burn Moscow to the ground. Russians will not fight. They will sit on the sidelines as out Abrams tanks cross Russia and end the war. Putin will shoot himself and a new set of Leaders will rule in St. Petersburg. War over in four months with a western victory! How can we lose? We are Americans. After the war we can change the name of NATO to what it really is—The American World Empire. We win.
Biden regime. Globalist. Soros. Blackrock. Clown.
Oh most assuredly. Ukraine is Europe’s problem.
“I don’t know anything about Ukraine and it’s past but I personally think we should take care of the U.S. first.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What you said is romanticized wishful thinking.
It’s like saying: “I dont care what ANTIFA does, we should just care about our homes and families first.”
You see the problem now?
By letting the international organization like ANTIFA roam free and go berserk in our inner cities without intervening, we are actually in the long run endangering our entire American civilisation and way of life, putting our heroes and families in the line of fire, looting and terror.
Ukrainians are fighting a war for us using their own blood.
They deplete our worst enemy alliance (Russia, Iran, Hamas).
That is securing America’s security and vital interests.
Vlad Putin is the organ grinder
Kazan is his monkey.
