We obviously need to revitalize our arms industry.

Especially after you and Joe threw away everything in Afghanistan and Ukraine.

Utterly immoral for that to be a justification for a war. The old corrupt closet Hastert hasn’t the slightest clue how evil that sounds. Imagine of somebody were to suggest that the mass shootings were very useful to help Smith and Wesson and Glock stay in business by inspiring people to buy defensive guns.

It’s been plain as day, Ukraine was escalated at intent of the US/CIA/Globohomos. The escalated (with the same intent) war on terror was never intended to end and had Hillary won it wouldn’t have. Neither Ukraine nor Russia will be allowed to end this WWIII intent. President Trump is the only avenue where this war will end. Our true enemy knows this is the truth.

Putin sure is working hard to re-industrialize the American arms industry.., and the Polish..., the Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, German, Dutch, French, British... It’s almost like if Russia would have stayed on it’s side of the border the military industrial complex would have withered on the vine.

Is it possible to take just 1/2 of 1% of that money and use it to start up factories to make common medicines that we now rely on imports from china for? Would that be ok?

Or is it only ok if the MIC makes gobs of money on it?

I KNEW IT ALL ALONG !!!
POS McConnell finally admits that the ‘Ukraine funding’ money is being stolen by the swamp, that’s why all the RINOs keep insisting that we keep the money laundering scheme going.
The DC dirtbags used the Russian invasion as an excuse to steal billions in taxpayer money.
NOT ONE MORE PENNY FOR UKRAINE.

Sen McConnell discloses that the endless US financed war in Ukraine has a “higher purpose:”
its a jobs program for the “military industrial complex”......to ‘reindustrialize’ the arms industry,

REALITY CHECK

About $113 billion tax dollars was authorized in 2022 for Ukraine, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. Most of it–about $67.1 billion–was defense-related. The other $46 billion included:
<><>$26.9 billion for UKRANIAN economic support in UKRAINE;
<><>$7.9 billion for international disaster assistance for UKRAINE;
<><>$6.6 billion in assistance for refugees in UKRAINE;
<><>$1.5 billion for assistance for Europe, Eurasia and Central Asia;
<><>plus $3.1 billion for other UKRANIAN non-defense spending in UKRAINE.

US tax dollars to UKRAINE helped Ukraine
<><>pay the salaries of 618,000 UKRAINE educators, 517,000 UKRAINE health workers,
<><>and 56,500 UKRAINE first responders
<><>helped sustain critical UKRAINE healthcare services,
<><>helped meet UKRAINE pension responsibilities for 9.8 million UKRAINIANS,
<><>assisted 1.3 million internally displaced persons in UKRAINE,
<><>provided housing assistance to 4.1 million UKRAINIANS in UKRAINE,
<><>provided social assistance to 240,000 low-income UKRANIAN families in UKRAINE,
<><>helped subsidize 480,000 UKRANIANS with disabilities in UKRAINE,
<><>bought supplies for UKRANIAN farmers in UKRAINE,
<><>financed finding markets for UKRANIAN small businesses in UKRAINE.

“As a result of the weapons transfers that we’ve made to Ukraine, we are reindustrializing our base here in the United States,” McConnell added. “And we’re employing a significant number of Americans, in this country, building our industrial base again.”

Translation: The war in Ukraine is a government jobs program. It’s good for business, especially for the defense industry, as it justifies continuing purchase orders.

McConnell continued, fear mongering that “some NATO country will be next” if the U.S. stops funding Ukraine.

“I think it’s an inspiration to the rest of the world that actually elects their leaders and doesn’t have autocrats running the country,” he added, attempting to create a moral distinction between Kiev and Moscow. However, as readers of The Dossier know, Ukraine has postponed elections indefinitely, banned all legitimate opposition parties from parliament, and censored all opposition media.
