Rep. Crane: Ukraine Ranks Among Worst Countries for Government Corruption

Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.) said the U.S. has “no business” continuing to siphon U.S. taxpayer money to Ukraine, a country that ranks near the bottom of all countries for government corruption.

Ukraine ranks 104th out of 180 countries on Transparency International’s 2023 Corruption Index.

“Across the (Eastern European) region, many governments control the judiciary and law enforcement institutions to maintain impunity for corruption for those in their privileged circles,” reported Transparency International writing that this is the case for Ukraine.

Ukraine lived up to it’s corruption index ranking last week by cancelling its elections.

Despite Ukraine’s corruption and cancelled elections, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) “revealed his intent to take action on Ukraine aid soon after lawmakers return to Washington next week,” reported Fox News.

Crane called Johnson’s desire to provide more funding to Ukraine “absurd.”

 

And it’s Johnson’s commitment to funding corrupt Ukraine that even prompted Tucker Carlson to ask if Johnson has been blackmailed.

    Anthony Blinken is now pushing the idea that Ukraine must be rushed into NATO.

    Such an Ukraine entry into NATO would almost assuredly allows Ukraine to invoke Article 5 which would force a full on war with Russia with American boots on the ground and American attacks directly against Russia which will quickly assure a vicious Russian response.

    This NATO Ukraine membership idea is absolute insanity. We will quickly start to lose a conventional war with Russia. Russia’s new Zircon hypersonic cruise missile will wipe out in short order any NATO base or supply depot in Europe. Facing sure humiliating defeat our insane and demented President backed by the CIA will likely then go nuclear inviting a nuclear holocaust which will likely kill us all.

    This war must be stopped. We should no longer fund this war at all. We were never going to win this war and our insane and evil provocations that led to this war could never be justified as supporting American interests.

    No Republican should vote now for any more Ukraine War funding. The Administration’s actions have finally shown to be thoroughly against any rational American interest.

    Since Congress has effectively insulated itself from the American People where the only Congressman or Senator you can likely contact is your own, it is best to try calling the RNC and vehemently protesting this insane and deadly NATO inclusion of Ukraine.

    The Republican National Committee’s number is 877-340-8969. Your life may depend on stoping this insanity.

  2. Thank you. It’s unfortunate that because AG requires paid membership to view comments most people who read this article will not see your advice.

  3. Any Republican who does vote or has voted for Ukraine funding has revealed himself (or herself) to be abjectly corrupt. Task wrote it best in another forum, but Ukraine represents nothing more than the biggest money laundering scheme in the history of the world, and the rapacity of our representatives in Congress is only eclipsed by their weak character. A pox on Congress.
