Guest Post by Ron Paul
The ink was barely dry on President Biden’s signature transferring another $61 billion to the black hole called Ukraine, when the mainstream media broke the news that this was not the parting shot in a failed US policy. The elites have no intention of shutting down this gravy train, which transports wealth from the middle and working class to the wealthy and connected class.
Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, “Ukraine’s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is “not a whole lot of money for us…” Well, that’s easy for him to say – after all it’s always easier to spend someone else’s money!
Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmytro Kuleba, was far from grateful for the $170 billion we have shipped thus far to his country. In an interview with Foreign Policy magazine as the aid package was passed, Kuleba had the nerve to criticize the US for not producing weapons fast enough. “If you cannot produce enough interceptors to help Ukraine win the war against the country that wants to destroy the world order, then how are you going to win in the war against perhaps an enemy who is stronger than Russia?”
How’s that for a “thank you”?
It may be understandable why the Ukrainians are frustrated. Most of this money is not going to help them fight Russia. US military aid to Ukraine has left our own stockpiles of weapons depleted, so the money is going to create new production lines to replace weapons already sent to Ukraine. It’s all about the US weapons industry. President Biden admitted as much when he said, “we are helping Ukraine while at the same time investing in our own industrial base.”
This is why Washington Is desperate to make sure that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, the “Ukraine” gravy train cannot be shut down by his – or future – administrations. Last week news broke that the Ukrainian government was in negotiations with the Biden Administration to sign a ten-year security agreement that would lock in US funding for Ukraine for the next two and a half US Administrations. That would unconstitutionally tie future presidents’ hands when it comes to foreign policy and would leave Americans on the hook for untold billions more dollars taken from them and sent to the weapons industry and to a corrupt foreign government.
The US weapons industry and its cheerleaders in Washington DC are determined to keep Ukraine money flowing…until they can figure out a way to gin up a war with China after losing the current war with Russia. That, of course, depends on whether there is anything left of us when the smoke clears.
When President Biden signed the $95 billion bill to keep wars going in Ukraine and Gaza and to provoke a future war with China, he called it “a good day for world peace.” Yes, and “War is peace.” Debt is good. Freedom is slavery. We are living in a post-truth society where billions spent on pointless wars are “not a whole lot of money.” But the piper will be paid and the debt will be cleared.

They are staging this fake war in Uisrakraine so as to remove the food production capacity of Uisrakraine.
It’s part of a larger pattern to destroy society’s ability to feed itself.
“Breadbasket” of europe when i was in skool
That was before everyone decided feeding third world niggers took precedence.
Ron Paul should have been president. He at least has the awareness to understand these events (and the consequences). He also tries to explain these things to the common people.
We currently have boy wonder instead, who can barely cross the lawn.
Biden doesn’t have red lines. They’re rainbow colored, and if you cross them, Biden will attempt to throw a tantrum–and fail–only to give up and take an afternoon nap.

He is one of the few politicians with integrity.
Nigel Farage and Viktor Orban can make him a company.
Teachers in Chicago have made $50 billion in demands. Chicago must be way richer than most small countries. Makes $61billion the fight a war look like a bargain! (sarc)
The USA drove the commies to bankruptcy during the Cold War. Now Russia is doing the same thing to us.
The oligarchs nearly milked that cow to death. REAL reason the Wall ‘FELL’
Of course not. You don’t need a PhD to know that shit’s gonna go on long after the last fires are put out.
“bill was passed to say that $61 billion is “not a whole lot of money for us…”
When we have gotten to this point, coming directly from the ability to print Trillions in monopoly money with no inflation (just say it is so and recalc as needed, wash rinse and repeat), we are doomed.
Stop paying Fkng taxes which are obviously no longer needed.
Taxes are only needed to control the people who are targeted by the tax system. The strategy is to create new money while keeping the taxpayers from being able to get any of it.
