When President Biden was in Kyiv, Ukraine earlier this week he was happy to pledge even more U.S. support for that country all while the mayor of East Palestine, Ohio looked on in disgust:
U.S. President Joe Biden promised new military aid for Ukraine worth $500 million during a surprise visit to Kyiv on Monday, almost a year to the day since Russia’s invasion.
In a trip showing solidarity with Kyiv, Biden also said additional sanctions would be announced this week against the Russian elite and companies trying to evade sanctions to “back the Russian war machine”.
The military aid package will include artillery ammunition, anti-armour systems and air surveillance radars “to help protect the Ukrainian people from aerial bombardments,” he said.
That’s on top of the hundred billion or so the Biden administration has already provided to Ukraine for weapons, equipment and retirement pensions (no, seriously).
But the Biden admin “blank check” policy on Ukraine isn’t about to end any time soon. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen assured Zelenskyy that lots more money is on the way:

$10 billion more? Yep, you heard that right (and that might even be a low estimate considering the fact that Yellen’s always wrong):

Hey, it’s only money, right?
America is being pillaged by global elites.

I put it this way:
It feels like America has been stolen and is being stripped for parts. https://t.co/4ivhDT6VdU

How long can this possibly go on?
Criminal. We're buried in debt, Ohio is poisoned, and this corruptocrat is shelling out your money to Ukraine. https://t.co/D7ftt7fYKZ

Also thanks to Biden people are strolling into the country illegally across an unsecured southern border. What could possibly go wrong?
Where are we finding the money for this https://t.co/0YGRx2q4ks
