“We’re going to continue to look at what is necessary, and make sure that we provide what is necessary that Ukraine has what it needs to succeed on the battlefield.”
Such were the unfortunate words boomed by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, which all but cement the likelihood of the faucet of endless, unaccounted for billions pouring into Ukraine.
Billions that, in all likelihood, have wound up in the black market, given the long-dubious reputation Ukraine has held as a centre of weapons trafficking.
Coincidentally, even the European Union was sounding the alarm on Ukraine weapons trafficking on the black market … months after Biden turned on the multibillion-dollar spigot.
Needless to say, that story hardly made the mainstream media (cough, MSNBC, cough), despite being reported in highly reputable outlets.
Meanwhile, Sullivan, one of the Biden regime’s top lieutenants continues to mindlessly prattle on about how dumping billions into the Ukrainian black market will somehow lead to the defeat of Russia, yet another massive black market.
“You will see as time goes on the continued erosion of the quality and capacity of the Russian economy, even as Vladimir Putin races to spend money in an effort to prop it up,” Sullivan brayed.
Right. Too bad Sullivan fails to account for the “quality and capacity” of Putin’s top ally, China, who is more than capable of bolstering the Russians while apparently carving out an increasingly ironic reputation for being some global peacemaker.
According to NPR, hardly known for its conservative views, Americans are starting to become rightfully dubious of Biden’s endless billions for Ukraine.
“After Congress appropriated more than $113 billion in military and economic support in the space of a single year – and with no signs of an end to the conflict – polls show a growing number of Americans feel the United States is giving Ukraine too much. That sentiment has fueled calls for more scrutiny of how U.S. assistance is being used in a country known for its struggles with corruption,” the outlet reported.
“Known for its struggles with corruption.”
Perhaps one of the kindest ways to characterize the entire situation without completely diverging from reality.
To underscore how insane the amount of $115B worth of “aid” given to Ukraine in literally under a year is, not to mention how likely much of it is going to the black market, it is useful to consider how many billions were spent on Iraq during the first year of the American invasion, which involved actual American soldiers on the ground.
Per a report from The Guardian, the government spent approximately $45.3B during the first year of the Iraq War.
So, in other words, the first year of the Russia-Ukraine War has cost American taxpayers nearly triple the number of billions that Biden has shipped to Ukraine.
Even when accounting for inflation, the extraordinary number of billions the Biden regime has funneled into a nation long notorious for its widespread corruption is staggeringly disturbing.
Mark Cancian, an expert in military procurement who has worked in the Office of Management and Budget, as well as the Pentagon, admitted that such an endless flow of billions may become a real problem later on.
“My great fear is that there’s going to be some scandal … Either weapons show up in the Middle East, someplace where they’re not supposed to be, or some oligarch is discovered to have siphoned funds off and is sailing around the Mediterranean in his yacht, paid for by American taxpayers,” Cancian remarked morosely.
Or all of the above, and then some.
Perhaps Hunter will be sailing alongside the oligarch … Oh, wait, he already did that.
Biden’s endless bolstering of the Ukrainian black market is all the more damaging when contrasted with nefarious China, which has recently released a 12-point position paper regarding a potential ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
“All parties should maintain rationality and restraint … support Russia and Ukraine to meet each other, resume direct dialogue as soon as possible, gradually promote the de-escalation and relaxation of the situation, and finally reach a comprehensive ceasefire,” the statement read.
Clearly, China is utterly untrustworthy, especially as far as American interests are concerned.
Sadly, however, the current “leader” of the United States appears more inclined to pursue a presidency of kickbacks, regardless of how significantly he empowers Beijing (and Moscow) in the long run.
