In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled The Great Ukraine Robbery is Not Over Yet, freeandfreezing wrote:
" transferring another $61 billion to the black hole called Ukraine"

But almost none of the money allocated goes to Ukraine. It goes to US based manufacturers of military equipment to buy new equipment that replaces the obsolete equipment and expired munitions being sent to Ukraine.

When an article starts out with a false premise there isn't much point in reading much more of it.

But thanks for sharing today's Russian propaganda talking point.

What about that burning Russian oil storage depot set on fire by one of those obsolete ATACMS missiles?

In case you didn't read it, the article goes on to say the Ukraine is frustrated because most of the $61 Billion is not going to help them, but is paying off defense contractors.

Americans know we've already given the Ukraine far too much money while ignoring our own needs- opinions against giving them money don't have to be 'Russian Propaganda'. There are claims that the payoff to some defense contractors is for equipment already shipped to the Ukraine WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL. There's a lot to dislike about all of our interactions with Ukraine - not just the money laundering, extortion, blackmail, and Biden crime family activities there.

What about that Russian oil depot set on fire? It's a distraction from the sweep Russia is performing, taking over one city after another. QUICK! BOMB AN OIL DEPOT SO NOBODY NOTICES UKRAINIAN MILITARY IS COLLAPSING!

American needs right there, we can’t protect ourselves against Red China and Russia without the means to fight, and as countless posts made here over the last 27 months have said, our weapons and ammo production had stagnated and been reduced so much that we were not prepared to face them.
