The Great Ukraine Robbery is Not Over Yet<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The ink was barely dry on President Biden\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Reuters wrote right after the aid bill was passed that, \u201cUkraine\u2019s $61 billion lifeline is not enough.\u201d Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell went on the Sunday shows after the bill was passed to say that $61 billion is \u201cnot a whole lot of money for us\u2026\u201d Well, that\u2019s easy for him to say \u2013 after all it\u2019s always easier to spend someone else\u2019s money!<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s foreign minister, \u00a0Dmytro \u00a0Kuleba, 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. \u201cIf 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?\u201d<\/p>\n

How\u2019s that for a \u201cthank you\u201d?<\/p>\n

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\u2019s all about the US weapons industry. President Biden admitted as much when he said, \u201cwe are helping Ukraine while at the same time investing in our own industrial base.\u201d<\/p>\n
