Ukraine Asks for Billions More to Support Their Budget and Social Responsibilities for Ukrainian People

CTH

The government of Ukraine is asking western nations to fund their budget.  Volodymyr Zelenskyy has asked for $7 billion per month in financial assistance to retain their government obligations.  Yesterday, Ukraine Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reiterated that demand saying, “the cash, in sense of our budget, is very important for social and humanitarian responsibilities of our state to our people.”

l am not wanting to belabor a point that many have discussed here, but there really does come a time when the American people must draw a red line and ask, ‘to what end?‘  The United States government, both the white house and congress, have already pledged $14 billion dollars to Ukraine without a single representative asking the American people if they support it.

Certainly, there is an argument to be made that Ukraine needs the support of the world as they struggle with a conflict in their nation.  However, charity begins at home, and for too long our national leadership has been willing to use our income taxes as tools for their own political agenda.  The brazen expectation by leaders of Ukraine for the United States citizens to finance their government is, in my opinion, the last straw of a series of straws.

The issue would not be so significant if that request was not also accompanied by the visibility of western European nations, supposedly NATO allies, barely spending any money of their own wealth to assist their direct neighbor.  The U.S. financial support is ridiculous when compared to how Europe is responding to the Ukraine crisis. more

  1. Here’s an idea: get the various U.N. states to freeze whatever Russian assets they might have access to, and pay Ukraine from those accounts. Problem solved. Of course, that will NEVER happen. Sorry, but the rest of us have our own financial issues to deal with.

  2. For the decades I lived in DE, the Stoopids would crow that “joe Biden paved my grandma’s driveway” or somesuch largesse they would attribute to their generous democrat statesman. When asked if joe biden put his hand in his own pocket to pay for it, their eyes would glaze and they would say something stoopid.

    It’s like the old joke about the loudmouth asshole that bursts into the tavern and crows “when joe biden drinks EVERYBODY drinks!” but when he’s presented with the tab, “when joe biden pays, everybody pays.”

    The entire world will pay the price for Shitpants as POTUS. But truly we Americans who’ve ALLOWED it are the most responsible.
