Video Transcript: "The US Anti-War Left is Dead. The Squad's $40b War Vote Just Killed It." Many Dems voting YES have long denounced exactly these sorts of bills. What happened? May 14, 2022
After Joe Biden announced his extraordinary request for $33 billion more for the war in Ukraine — on top of the $14 billion the U.S. has already spent just ten weeks into this war — congressional leaders of both parties immediately decided the amount was insufficient. They arbitrarily increased the amount by $7 billion to a total of $40 billion, then fast-tracked the bill for immediate approval. As we reported on Tuesday night, the House overwhelmingly voted to approve the bill by a vote of 388-57. All fifty-seven NO votes came from Republican House members. Except for two missing members, all House Democrats — every last one, including all six members of the revolutionary, subversive Squad — voted for this gigantic war package, one of the largest the U.S. has spent at once in decades.
While a small portion of these funds will go to humanitarian aid for Ukraine, the vast majority will go into the coffers of weapons manufacturers such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the usual suspects. Some of it will go to the CIA for unspecified reasons. The extreme speed with which this was all approved means there is little to no oversight over how the funds will be spent, who will profit and how much, and what the effects will be for Ukraine and the world.
“Beware the military industrial complex” ...... Ike
It’s as if they were all heavily invested in the outcome of their vote.
How disgusting.

It will also go into the coffers of an untold number of NGO$, and foundations to be laundered to left wing causes, political PACs, kick backs and other such palm greasing. 10% for the big guy too.
Exactly, We are being robbed by our “government..”
Raytheon’s lobbyists are only once removed from Dominion Software employees.
The Democrats believe that throwing money at a problem solves the problem. At least they can claim that they did something. When things do not work out as planned (as predicted by anyone with common sense), the Democrats then blame the Republicans or anyone else.
The Democrats repeat the same failed policies expecting different results. Is that not the definition of “stupid?”
it may be that they wanted to take a shot across the bow of the Putin invasion ship.
An amount that large sends the message that Putin is going to be outspent and that he has little realistic hope of succeeding.
Reagen essentially bankrupted the Soviet Union on military spending, this may be another version.
Thanks
It promotes a kick back rich environment.
Reagan could do that because he got the economy back in shape.
He wasn't outspending the Soviets during record high gas prices and inflation.
“The Bizarre, Unanimous Dem Support for the $40b War Package to Raytheon and CIA”
It’s for UKRAINE, idiots, what could go wrong?
“The US Anti-War Left is Dead.”
They’ve NEVER been dead, they are PERFECTLY HAPPY with wars, as long as they are destructive to the West...as in the case of Ukraine.
Not to mention the mountain of debt we’re currently responsible for.
