I think there are a ton of reasons Ukraine is extremely important to politicians and the like and those reasons have nothing to do with "democracy". After the passage of the foreign aid bill, Mike Johnson, along with many others (both dems & repubs) stuck the knife into the backs of Americans even more by loudly proclaiming our support to Ukraine (and other countries) protects our "national security" and a reminder that we should stand by our allies. Personally, all the Ukraine flag waving after the passage was just a big middle finger to the American people.

I don't think most Americans disagree with helping other countries but when our own country is going down in flames, they just let us know loud & clear, that they don't care. I suspect Ukraine money laundering will continue indefinitely. I'm not the only person who thinks so.

Below is an X post from Jesse Kelly that pretty much matches my suspicions.

Jesse Kelly:

You think you’re mad about the Ukraine money now?

Wait until they lose the war (they will) and make a peace deal giving Russia what it wants (they will) and then the scumbags in Congress send $500 billion of your money to “rebuild Ukraine.”

Write that down. It’s coming.

BlackRock and such are already there, sizing up the con. Lining up contractors to fleece the taxpayer.

That's exactly what it's about. It's the exact same dynamic they use within US cities. This is why the encourage rampant crime. Destroy everything and then "rebuild." Which means massive profits for the co's that can buy up the land and buildings for pennies on the dollar.

I am done 'with helping others' and am up for 'tending one's own garden' without our 'money' be taxed and 'borrowed' away.

Once everything goes down the toilet, folks will think that it is perhaps best to have money in one's pocket for building up one's own country.

We aren’t “helping” anyone except Wall St mobsters hoping to help themselves to the energy trade routes and farmland.
