I don't understand how Ukraine can keep begging for more more & more( and receiving it) when it is considered sucha corrupt country. Seems sorta suspicious

[rjmorgan]

I can’t believe we keep making these clowns

But the US department of the Treasury said they could not find any evidence of corruption in Ukraine. Is there anything the government of the US does not lie about. People now take it for granted and accept it. It's really tragic. Spells the end of this country.

Zelensky now owns mansions all over the world, since becoming president of Ukraine. He has become a billionaire since he was elected.

How about checking Zelenskky and his wife's money trail?

[omsdollar]

Why are they not talking about zelensky's wife who's always in a shopping sprey in France, while his husband is busy asking for help.

They think "if I don't take this money, someone else will". As a USA tax payer, I'm pretty pissed we keep sending money there.

Z'elensky signed a deal to sell tanks for scrap metal. Then he asks for tanks and the G7 obliges? Odd? Z'elensky refuses peace talks repeatedly. This is all a racket. Wallstreet global wars.
