The Ukraine government, headed by Volodymyr Zelensky, has been using American taxpayers’ funds to pay dearly for the vitally needed diesel fuel that is keeping the Ukrainian army on the move in its war with Russia. It is unknown how much the Zelensky government is paying per gallon for the fuel, but the Pentagon was paying as much as $400 per gallon to transport gasoline from a port in Pakistan, via truck or parachute, into Afghanistan during the decades-long American war there.
What also is unknown is that Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at war, and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments. One estimate by analysts from the Central Intelligence Agency put the embezzled funds at $400 million last year, at least; another expert compared the level of corruption in Kiev as approaching that of the Afghan war, “although there will be no professional audit reports emerging from the Ukraine.”
Someone please explain this to me so it makes sense. Feel free to use small words and simple sentences so I can understand.
Enemies foreign and domestic friend.
I think a Roman Senator named Cicero had somethings to say about traitors.
Let’s see now, figuring 10% for “the big guy” that would come to a cool $40,000,000. No wonder they’re smiling while hundreds of thousands have already been slaughtered and the war drags on and on. How long, O’ Lord, how long, until the wicked are finally brought to justice and forced to pay for their murderous crimes?
I suppose the simple explanation is -- What’s new? -- or -- Am I surprised?
Then there’s the business of, We gotta arrest some guy for selling secrets to take the heat off of us selling the country.
So one guys enemy is selling his enemy fuel so they can shoot bullets at him and he can blow them away. Makes no sense. This is another part of the grand theater production we are living through that will ultimately culminate with us either dying or dying. I was going to say subjugated or enslaved but we are already past that point.
It’s also not carbon friendly
There is a pipeline that runs from Russia through Ukraine to Europe. It is still functioning, in spite of the war. Why? Corruption. Corruption over rules every ideology. That pipeline has to pay fees to Ukraine for transit. Lots and lots of fees. That’s the pipeline that Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, and Romney family members get a cut. Understand now?
