U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has told European security officials in Brussels that the Biden administration will be sending Ukraine as much support as possible before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan 20.
Blinken’s announcement comes at a time when public support appears to be waning for U.S. taxpayer dollars being used to provide financial and military aid to Ukraine.
THIS IS WHY THEY LOST!!!
BLINKEN: “President Biden has committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door [to Ukraine] between now and January 20th”

The outgoing Secretary of State offered his assurance that, “President Biden is committed to make sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and Jan. 20.”
According to Forbes, the Biden administration has sent Ukraine at least $174 billion in aid and military assistance since Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022.
The Washington Post has reported that one of the best kept secrets regarding nearly $68 billion in funding sent to Ukraine is that most of that money stays in the U.S. where workers in at least 71 cities across 31 states are producing weapons systems and parts for Ukraine.
The U.S has also sent Ukraine older weapons, ammunition and military equipment in order to create the need for new contracts with defense contractors to replenish what has been given away.
This revelation prompted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to share a post on X explaining how the U.S. war machine works and why she refuses to vote for it.
The War Machine..
I’ll explain how it works and why I don’t vote for it.
The Defense Industrial Base is tax payer funded gov contracts with American companies to build weapons, ammunition, and military equipment – made in America with American jobs.

Greene remains an outspoken critic of U.S. officials boasting about defending democracy and affecting regime change around the world with a taxpayer-funded military industrial economic base while fleecing the American people to pay for it all as our own borders are left virtually undefended.
For Americans who are tired of seeing their money used to fund dubious military interventions that have nothing to do with defending our own borders or freedoms, January 20 can’t come soon enough.
