The battle in Ukraine has been a sponge for U.S. dollars. Zelenskyy picks up the phone, calls his buddy Joe, and we send them another stash of cash and weapons to use in this futile attempt to defeat Putin and Russia. Biden’s team says Putin can end this war at any time by just pulling out and allowing Ukraine to rebuild in freedom.
He also can end this war by pushing the red button on his desk and obliterating Ukraine. Either way, there is no amount of cash we can send to Ukraine to prevent the inevitable, but Joe will keep answering the phone and writing the checks.
Two events happened this week that highlight our intentions for Ukraine. One should be significant because it involves one of our Cabinet members traveling to Ukraine, but in this case, it is Pete Buttigieg making the trip. What does Mayor Pete have to offer the conversation besides the cost and waste of dollars and resources for his trip? Ukraine is being destroyed daily by the ravages of the war with Russia. By the time this battle is over, either by surrender of Ukraine or by someone finally getting Putin to the table to negotiate an end, Ukraine will need to be rebuilt from the ground up. Pete is in Ukraine to start the rebuilding of the infrastructure. Ukraine would be better served if Pete stayed home and played a few games of Sim City. We have seen what Pete has to offer for infrastructure planning by his failures over the last three years. The U.S. House last week passed a resolution to reduce Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1 a year. That shows the respect Pete garners for his work as Transportation Secretary.
The second occurrence was Secretary of State Antony Blinken appearing before Congress to defend the Biden request for additional funds for Ukraine. With each new request, Biden faces more resistance from Congress to write the check for the Zelenskyy fundraiser. Since the war began, the Biden administration and the U.S. Congress have directed more than $75 billion in assistance to Ukraine, which includes humanitarian, financial, and military support, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, a German research institute. Like every other effort touched by the government, we throw in more money as the situation circles the drain. Blinken was explaining the next phase in the evolution of Ukraine. This storyline is a perfect example of the cart before the horse, as Ukraine is far from ready for the next phase. Then, in his version of Harris Word Salad, one word jumped off his lips- Reimagine.
The Biden Administration has continued the Obama pledge to transform America. Translation, destroy America. But Ukraine is the perfect opportunity for the Socialist, Marxist Democrats. Let Russia destroy Ukraine down to bare earth, and then America, with token help from the NATO countries, can rebuild Ukraine, no, reimagine Ukraine in the image of how they see Amerika. That is not a misspelling. That is how the Democrats will spell the name of the Socialist Utopia they turn the United States into. I am sure the United Nations will salivate to have an opportunity to rename the new creation formerly known as Ukraine. So Mr. Blinken and Mr. Biden, no more American tax dollars for Ukraine until you both work to get Putin, if he is still alive, and Zelenskyy to the bargaining table to bring this terrible conflict to an end.
