    Concerns Mount Over Proposed $61 Billion Funding for Ukraine: Lack of Transparency and Strategy Sparks Criticism

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 8 Mins Read

    The Senate sold out. Now it is up to The House to Hold the Line. Enter: Deep State Speaker Johnson

    Deep State Johnson has gone out of his way to hide behind the cross while lying his ear off on camera. He has stabbed America in the back time and time again, after claiming he would close the border and hold the line.  He is playing the Deep State preferred game of ling to our faces for video replay and news headlines, while doing all he can to rob the American public. Once again, we are there. He is promising the Senate scam bill is dead on arrival. Where have we heard that before? We’ll see.

    Senator Rand Paul Called It Out First… ‘On the Senate Floor I told the Ukraine-first Senators they should put the criminal migrant who assaulted the policeman and flipped off America on the cover of their terrible bill!’  See vid below

    ‘Why is the Senate willing to sell out the American people so Ukraine gets another $60 billion in aid? Because they are blackmailing us. Ukraine has the goods on Joe Biden. It has the goods on the CIA’s spy op to frame Trump as a pro-Russian traitor. It is just that simple,’ said Kyle Becker

    In a recent discussion on the X Spaces forum, a group of GOP senators, including J.D. Vance, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson, voiced their reservations about the proposed $61 billion funding for Ukraine within a spending package. The senators, along with entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, criticized the lack of corruption prevention and transparency measures in the bill, highlighting their concerns ahead of a crucial procedural Senate vote on Monday night.

    In passing Ukraine funding without real border security, the old guard flaunts its betrayal of the American people for a bill that is DOA in the House. Over half of the Republican conference stood with our constituents and our country and said no. The future is ours- Mike Lee

    The senators emphasized the absence of a clear strategy to conclude the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, expressing their worry that the funds might act as a “blank check” without proper accountability. They argued that the spending package neglects the security issues at the southern U.S. border to prioritize aid to Ukraine, a move they deemed contrary to the commitments made by Republicans to voters and states.

    Senator Mike Lee raised particular concerns about the bill’s apparent disregard for corruption in Ukraine. He criticized the absence of provisions in the legislation to address the issue, stating that around $8 billion would go directly to the Ukrainian government, which has a history of corruption. Lee asserted that the bill turns a “blind eye” to this crucial aspect.

    The senators also questioned the efficacy of the proposed funding in ending the war, pointing out the lack of a defined strategy. They expressed their commitment to delaying the vote, using procedural mechanisms to shed light on key problems with the legislation and garner support from House Republicans to oppose the funding package.

    Senator J.D. Vance highlighted a critical oversight in the bill, stating that it fails to articulate a strategy to end the war, making it a “blank check for a strategy that has completely gone off the rails.” He argued that Republicans had relinquished leverage to Democrats, undermining the potential for meaningful concessions on issues like the southern U.S. border.

    Entrepreneur Elon Musk, whose company SpaceX supports Ukraine’s self-defense efforts, questioned the rationale behind sending large sums of money without proper accountability. Musk expressed concern about the “moral blackmail” used to push for immediate resource allocation to Ukraine, highlighting the urgency as a tactic to prevent Russian aggression.

    The senators, particularly Lee, criticized the lack of provisions for an Inspector General focused on monitoring corruption in Ukraine. Lee revealed that an amendment proposed by Senator Rand Paul to include a special inspector general had been denied, raising doubts about the transparency of the funding.

    The discussion also delved into the human cost of a prolonged war of attrition, with Musk and Senator Ron Johnson expressing concerns about the purpose of spending lives without a clear strategy. They emphasized the need for a peace deal, acknowledging that the war in Ukraine cannot be won and could lead to further human suffering.

    To Sum it all up: the senators and entrepreneurs raised significant concerns about the proposed $61 billion funding for Ukraine, citing issues related to corruption, transparency, and the lack of a clear strategy to end the conflict. The discussion highlighted the need for accountability and a thoughtful approach to foreign aid, considering the potential risks and consequences of such substantial financial support.
