Report: U.S. Taxpayers Subsidizing Small Businesses in Ukraine, Including Designer Knitwear
Breitbart ^ | 09/25/2023 | Kristina Wong

While everyday American taxpayers are battling inflation and struggling to make ends meet, their money is subsidizing small businesses in Ukraine, according to a recent report on CBS News’s 60 Minutes.

In addition to at least $43 billion in military aid, the U.S. has pumped nearly $25 billion of non-military aid into Ukraine’s economy since the Ukraine War began in February 2022, according to the report.

Just as long as American taxpayer’s money doesn’t go to help American taxpayers, it’s all good with the Biden Administration.

It's all good. Ukraine is clearly winning, they are totally, TOTALLY annihilating Russia, God, it's not even close. You hate to see it. So these businesses can reopen and throw the Mother of all parties. That's why we're giving them money, so they can pay for their victory parades.

It is so crazy!! We need to stop this stupidity, if possible. I expect there’s lots of kickbacks for the politicians.

On the topic of military aid -- the U. S. is basically doing this alone.

Biden was quite open about this crap six months ago He never hid any of it. Nobody paid attention.

The profiteers of disaster are already on site working their graft. (The Clinton Foundation)

The war is over. The tanks are to patrol the streets of Kiev by the police. The investors need safety and protection.

<>pensions, and salaries for Ukraine health care and education officials,
<>and other “humanitarian needs,
<>salaries, pensions and “associated expenses” of the massive Ukrainian govt,
<>and tax dollars to aid Ukranian small businesses including helping them find foreign markets.

Let me guess, an advertisement for the designer knitwear company will show a tranny Ukrainian wearing a pink stocking hat, while brandishing a firearm & waving both the Ukrainian and American flags.

Enough about the Ukraine joining NATO.

When are they going to ask to be admitted as the 51st state in the American Union?

Maybe I could understand strictly military support, (still believe in negotiations) but I hate paying the Ukrainian loans from the IMF and Wall Street Hedge funds. Those interest rates are ginormous.
JD Vance is asking for explanations as to where $31B disappeared in Ukraine.

After Pleading for Another $24 Billion from America, Zelensky Wines & Dines with the World’s Richest Elites

The funnyman-turned-president has asked for no less than 46 aid packages from Americans to fund a proxy war that nobody has voted for.

So, when Zelensky showed up in Washington D.C. (only to be turned away for his request to address a Joint Session of Congress) and gave a speech at the United Nations General Assembly, where he predictably implored the world to give him “mo’ money,” it would seem only fitting that he would later dine with the world’s richest elites.

The New York Post reported that Zelensky brushed off his trademark army green fatigues and then joined a bourgeois soiree arranged by the megabankers at J.P. Morgan.

The billionaire boys in attendance? Mike Bloomberg, worth an estimated $96 billion; Ken Griffin of the Citadel investment empire, worth around $35 billion; Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, worth $20 billion; Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, worth $11 billion; Jona­than Gray, the president of private equity powerhouse Blackstone, worth around $7 billion; Barry Sternlicht, of Starwood Capital; worth about $4 billion; Bill Ackman, the high-profile hedge fund operator, worth nearly $3.6 billion

Also in attendance, the Post was told, was a representative from BlackRock and Henry Kissinger himself.

Ukrainian president needs to show the world what all that money is buying. Because it sure isn’t peace, which he has ruled out from the onset.

The Russia-Ukraine war has stalemated for nearly a year and risks dragging the world unwillingly into a catastrophic World War III.

Nobody in Congress voted for the U.S.’ participation in a war. Ukraine is not even a historic U.S. ally.
