Hello Ron,

 AT>> I'm never sure about these things, but how could Biden get his hands on
 AT>> the money without congress' approval?

 RL> He can't.  Congress holds the purse strings.

The Congress has approved $75 billion in aid, and other countries
have approved $100 billion in aid. The $200 million Biden is sending
to Ukraine is aid already approved by Congress.

 AT>> ABC News (yesterday) was saying something like "Congressional GOP is
 AT>> holding the Ukraine money hostage until a southern US border deal is
 AT>> reached.."

 AT>> (ABC News really wants Ukraine to have that money!)

 RL> Ukraine doesn't really get all that money. Some goes to the Ukraine
 RL> oligarchs.

Some members of Congress are questioning the accountability of
where funds are going, but that issue can be addressed. As it should.
But to say or suggest without evidence that "some goes to the Ukraine
oligarchs" is disingenouos at best.

 RL> Much of it goes to the Military Industrial Complex here in the U.S. to build
 RL> the weapons that Ukraine "buys". A good chunk ends up in the pockets Bof
 RL> the iden Crime Family and their buddies.

Lots of countries are sending Ukraine military aid and assistance.
That is what it takes for Ukraine to resist Russia's full scale acts
of aggression. Thanks to President Biden, and other leaders around
the world, Mad Vlad did not get his way.

 RL> I think that most people see Ukraine is nothing more than a money laundering
 RL> system.  Tax dollars in, enrich a few Elitists out.

Mad Vlad knows he is losing his "special military operation" in
Ukraine. Losing big time. Ukraine has taken back over 50% of the
territory it had lost early on due to Russia's aggrsssion, and
is winning in the Black Sea and elsewhere.

But hey. I can understand why you are so upset. It is not easy
being a loser. Especially after your orange clown lost to Biden -
by over 7 million votes - in the last election.

For Life,
Lee
