Uprorar ensues over '60 Minutes' report that the US is paying for salaries of Ukraine's first responders and subidizing Ukrainian small businesses |

[60 Min via BLAZE] The U.S. has spent billions of dollars aiding Ukraine as that Eastern European nation battles against a brutal Russian invasion, but the aid has gone beyond simply assisting the embattled country with armaments. "60 Minutes" has reported that the U.S. is purchasing "seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers and covering the salaries of Ukraine's first responders — all 57,000 of them." The report also stated that the U.S. is "subsidizing small businesses." Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to the report by indicating that the U.S. should help its own. "Modest suggestion: Let’s support farmers, small businesses, and first responders in our own country instead," he tweeted. "You don’t live in a country, you live in a tax farm for a global empire," BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre posted. |

#4 #1, I think the resistance to the $24B in Biden's budget for Ukraine is part of what is pointing us towards a government shutdown next week. |
