Kiev has ‘nothing to show’ for all the money spent – US senator

Josh Hawley said Washington must stop writing checks for Ukraine

The US should not endlessly pour money into Ukraine, as Kiev has “nothing to show for it,” Senator Josh Hawley has argued, following President Joe Biden’s request for additional funds. 

“If there’s some path to victory in Ukraine, I didn’t hear it today. And I also heard that there’s going to be no end to the funding requests,” Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, told reporters following a closed-door Senate briefing on the situation in Ukraine on Wednesday. “What we were basically told is ‘Buckle up and get out your checkbook.’”

Ukraine a military ‘laboratory’ – senior Pentagon official

The conflict is providing valuable military insight, like Afghanistan or Iraq once did, an aide to the US defense minister believes

Jeffrey Sachs: NATO Expansion & Ukraine's Destruction

During the disastrous Vietnam War, it was said that the US government treated the public like a mushroom farm: keeping it in the dark and feeding it with manure. The heroic Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers documenting the unrelenting U.S. government lying about the war in order to protect politicians who would be embarrassed by the truth. A half-century later, during the Ukraine War, the manure is piled even higher.

According to the U.S. government and the ever-obsequious New York Times, the Ukraine war was “unprovoked,” the Times’ favorite adjective to describe the war. Putin, allegedly mistaking himself for Peter the Great, invaded Ukraine to recreate the Russian Empire. Yet last week, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg committed a Washington gaffe, meaning that he accidently blurted out the truth.

Why are American hospitals treating wounded Ukrainian soldiers?

Zelensky, who was in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, couldn’t resist the chance for a photo op with Ukrainian fighters undergoing treatment at Staten Island University Hospital. He was pictured with injured soldiers, some of whom were using prosthetic limbs or confined to wheelchairs. He also toured the hospital.

Russian civilians are being PREPPED for war 

People living in Crimea and the Donbas are training civilians in case they have to fight Ukrainians in their region.

The Biden administration has unleashed a new program to boost illegal immigration that allows immigrants to fly directly from their hometowns into a U.S. city of their choice, according to newly obtained records.

Instead of rushing the Texas border, the program lets immigrants use the administration’s app to pick a destination, buy an airline ticket, and fly in unseen on what amounts to ghost flights.
