Hawley: ‘Why Are We Sending Hundreds of Billions of Dollars to Ukraine if China Is Our Number One Global Threat?’
Breitbart ^ | 04/11/2024 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/11/2024 9:23:35 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

…and nobody can account where the money went. Did some come back to a selected group for special favors? Hmmmm.

Why are we sending ANY money to other countries when we are trillions in debt?

Exactly.

WE seem to invest in wars that we fail to win for decades. The war machine industry makes zillions of $$$$, not caring about the loss of life really.

INVESTING IN FAILURE AND FAILED PROJECTS IS OUR GOVERNMENT’S LIVLIHOOD AND THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT THE TAXPAYER’S OR ANY CHILDREN. SORRY BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH, THEY SOLD THEIR SOULS TO MONEY AND DEMONIC WAYS.

Because on any given day, the Neo-Cons will vacillate about who the “greatest threat” is to global US hegemony: Russia, China, or Iran....take your pick.

Xi keeps Putin on a string. We should have allied with Russia to check China, but unfortamtly, that train has long sailed.

Simple the drones will tell you Russia bad, China good. That includes many Republicans. On the Canadian stock market dollorama stock is at an all time high. We are rewarding those who have sold us out.

the connection with china goes deeper than uncle sniffy.

the clintons got slightly busted and it was called ‘china gate’ in 1995.

a few years later the ‘cox congressional report’ came out claiming to detail what military tech the chinese had ‘stolen’

(kinda tough to steal stuff handed to you)

it’s a lot worse than some mil tech.

thru the clintons, they pushed our manufacturing base to china.

that manufacturing base had a caveat... a double factory mechanism.

thru the double factory hook they’ve been able to drain the American financial bubble.

which was used to finance the build up of their military machine...

as well as fund their spy and influence operations in the US political establishment.

thereby undermining our education system, business infrastructure, and culture.

these are the steps they are taking to tear down America...
essentially convincing our country it would be better off dead.

death of a thousand cuts. tear us down while building themselves up.

To deter China and stop a resurgent Russia.

Brandon didn’t like them when he was threatening Poroshenko to withhold money unless he fired the prosecutor who was after Burisma. He was shamed into pretending to help Ukraine. Spending hundreds of billions of dollars on Ukraine is just another way of spending hundreds of billions of dollars. Arms industry likes it. Brandon and his cronies get kickbacks. But he makes sure not to give Ukraine anything that might cause victory for Ukraine, just an endless war. No F-16s. No tanks until the Russians have had time to plant vast anti-tank mine fields. Only two batteries of Patriots. But, yes, hundreds of billions.

It does deter China. It does stop Russia. But a swift and decisive victory for Ukraine would have put paid to Russia and deterred China twice as well. Only then there’s no money for the Military-Industrial complex, nor kickbacks for corrupt politicians in the US.

Brandon doesn’t LIKE Ukraine. He uses Ukrainians as human shields for his efforts to undermine the US for fun and profit. Would you do that to someone you LIKE?

The British did to China during the Opium wars precisely what China is doing to the USA with the Fentanyl Wars on the Southern border.

The British way of thinking, British political, economic and
even genetic intrigue in China led the cleansing of China by Chairman Mao...stomping out all thought, behavior, decision-making and even the humans created from intermarriage -during the Great Purge

Tell me about it. Ultimately, you gotta do it yourself. You may not have money or technology, but your blood is your own, and it must be shed. My sympathies to the Ukrainians, despite their sordid history. Brandon is “helping” them to death at great cost.
