The purpose of this post is to inform readers about the long list of supplies and payments sent to Ukraine from the United States during 2022. As of today December 23rd, 2022 we the United States sent Ukraine $141.348B. Part 2 of this series covers the aid sent to Ukraine during 2023 and can be read here. This money and supplies was sent to help Ukraine defend themselves against Russia’s invasion but at this point in the war I’m starting to believe we are witnessing the biggest heist in American history. How many cash shipments, Stingers, Javelins, Howitzers, and rounds of ammo will be enough to beat Russia? If the answer is unknown then supporting this “war” is definitely not fair to American taxpayers. While many citizens are struggling in our country due to inflation, high gas prices, low wages + more our government should never feel comfortable putting another country before our own. On July 15th the US and Russia renewed their flights together to the International Space Station and on August 7th CBS released a documentary showing why only 30% of the money + supplies sent to Ukraine actually reach it’s final destination. With what being said we are literally sending taxpayers dollars to a foreign country just for it to be intercepted or end up in the wrong hands. The “war” is just political theatre and everyone is in kahoots. How can you justify going on space missions with a country that’s fighting another nation you blindly fund? To make things worse the President of Ukraine managed to schedule a Vogue Magazine photshoot with his wife and the music group U2 managed to perform a concert for Ukrainian troops in an active war zone…. Sooner or later this “war” will be even more of a joke and many people will start questioning what’s really going on here. Unfortunately by then the dust will settle and the smoke will clear, the big guys with their hands in the pot will be sitting on more riches.
