The Great Ukraine Robbery is Not Over Yet
[Ron Paul Institute] 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"?

Well, he does have kind of a point there.

#2 Although I can report the marines on Camp Pendleton have been practicing hard and heavy with their artillery for the past few days. It's no secret. You can hear it all over northern San Diego County and most likely in southern Orange County too. So, somehow they got their hands on some spare ammunition.
