The U.S. military just told it’s own soldiers to use food stamps to keep their families fed during this ongoing period of high inflation, caused by the Biden regime’s own flawed economic analysis, coupled with the establishment’s COVID-19 lockdowns, and the war in Ukraine.
Which is why the full list of the $15bn+ in aid being sent to Ukraine by the U.S. government is likely to hit harder in the solar plexus.
According to the U.S. Department of Defense, there has been a whopping $15.8 billion “in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration, including more than $15.1 billion since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion on February 24.”

That’s… a lot of stuff. And just like in Afghanistan, there’s no mention of what happens to all this stuff after the war is over, assuming any of it still exists.
The likelihood is, just like America’s last forever war, it’ll end up in the hands of unsavory characters.
Considering the recent bans on political opposition in Ukraine, as well as the forced national consolidation of media, you might say it already has.

Actually none of that money is going to Ukraine, it’s going to our military contractors, who make the weapons n send them to Ukraine. It’s actually supporting US corporations. In fact I’m sure the US is greatly benefitting $$ from this war by selling more armaments to other NATO countries also. That doesn’t make me in agreement with the entire proposition, only stating a fact that never seems to be understood.
