Your Cash Ain't Nothing But Trash
The New York Post (NYP) has another mind-boggling article.
US taxpayers have been forced, through taxation and non-representative "government", to give billions to the Not-See regime in Ukraine.
Rather than make do with what they've stolen, all that machinery of war ends up in dumps, with the expectation that the US taxpayer is a bottomless reservoir.
Can you hear the violence, er violins, as the NYP plays the sad song that Ukraine might have to live within OUR means?
Darned CONgress, "haggling" rather than turning the money spigot even more wide-open. How dare they!
Note the colors of the NYP top banner, red, black, and white.
Now where have we seen that color combination prominent before?

Under cover of night, as alarms warn of incoming missiles, dozens of mechanics work on billions of dollars worth of Western military equipment in a nondescript, hollowed-out garage in the countryside.
In this undisclosed location, kept secret to avoid becoming a Russian target, Ukrainian soldiers use their technical skills to fix American-sent weapons and equipment such as Humvees and Bradley fighting vehicles damaged – sometimes catastrophically – by Kremlin invaders.

As Congress twiddles its thumbs amid growing and more urgent calls for continued military aid to Kyiv, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are swiftly running out of not just the expensive weapons – but even the smallest of spare parts to repair and renew the systems the US has already spent billions to provide in the first place.
[“twiddles its thumbs”? Seems like the alphabet agency whose parent facilitated Operation Paperclip should be given a byline].

It is “existential,” they say. Life under brutal Russian rule – after more than three decades of post-Soviet freedom and independence – is unacceptable.
[Even Allen Dulles would choke on that line].

“I know the US military has 200 M777 [howitzers] just sitting around rusting,” the commander, named Valery, told The Post. “Send them to us. We’ll get them on the battlefield.”
In the next breath, however, the tall, stoic officer said he and his colleagues were “very grateful to all the Americans for what you are doing, for all the equipment.”
[Methheads on the street asking for handouts have more class than that joker].

The Ukrainians are not asking for cash – the vast majority of the money spent would filter back into the American economy.
[Well, what's left after the oligarchs, Bidens, and others, get their cut].

It’s a concept the Ukrainians can’t quite understand. Why would the land once known as the “arsenal of democracy” decline to ensure Ukraine remains a democratic stronghold in eastern Europe?
[Um, because that “arsenal of democracy” was used against an earlier Reich?]
