After Seizing Billions in Russian Assets U.S. Will Hand Over Proceeds to Ukraine

 After Seizing Billions in Russian Assets U.S. Will Hand Over Proceeds to Ukraine

Al Ritter


After the US has spent billions to prop up the Ukrainian Military with our own hardware with no repayment in sight, Biden is poised to donate even more.

Biden has done so much since he was elected to degrade our military. First he demanded Covid-19 vaccinations which depleted our military by almost 10%, sadly a large portion of our most elite forces. Then he basically handed Ukraine a large portion of our most technologically advanced military hardware leaving our stockpile dangerously low.

Then Biden releases our strategic oil reserves to quell the nations need for cheaper gasoline. That is not what our strategic reserve is for, it’s for our military! Now the US has to buy the oil at $100 a barrel to replenish what he took.

Now there is news coming out of Washington that the assets taken from Russian Oligarchs will be sold off and the money given to Ukraine for “military and humanitarian” uses.

I’m sorry but we have given taxpayer money until it hurts in Ukraine. In two weeks we sent them more money than we spent in two years to protect our own borders, and yet we continue to give away taxpayer money.

Aren’t we entitled to recoup some of our expenditure on the Russia/Ukraine war? Understand that Ukraine never made the decision to join NATO, even after the illegal annexation of Crimea. NATO was created to protect smaller countries from being gobbled up by Russia and could have helped Ukraine immensely. Now rather than aid coming from all NATO members, America, and the UK seem to be shouldering all the aid with no end in sight of this war.

I’m not sure what the answer is in this illegal war started by Russia, but I do know that America is tired of Biden’s failed domestic and foreign policies.

Seizing some of the Russian assets might go a long way towards calming the American electorate.

I want to know, when as citizens did we get to vote on aid for Ukraine? One bad decision after another from this useless President.

Plus the congress passed a bill to give an additional $40 billion to Ukraine and is now awaiting approval from the senate!

I suppose we are giving back all the seized bank accounts too?

So civil forfeiture can take years to accomplish, who is going to pay dock, and litigation fees? And if WE do as taxpayers, what exactly is our up side?
