Where will the money go?

Back into the pockets of a select few hundreds rich people, many of them in the US, I suspect.

Love the scale your 'Construction Project' example provides to allow people to comprehend the astronomical level of LAUNDERING and RE-DISTRIBUTION OF U.S. WEALTH now being perpetrated.

Brings a whole new perspective to the matter even most children can grasp.

The money will come straight back to the investors of the military industrial complex in USA. Much of the military equipment and materials is already in forward bases in Poland, Romania and Germany. Very little will go to workers. Most will go to oligarchs and investors.......and there will be a confected and comical parade of dignitaries and carping politicians clamoring for media exposure to justify their vain egoes. Meanwhile Ukrainians and Russians will die needlessly and the women will weep.

It’s a scheme- send money to a “war” but the money goes into Zelensky s pocket and then some returns to the Bidens and surely others getting handouts like Schumer etc. it’s no mystery anymore. War = billions, fake diseases so called pandemics = billions, climate farce= billions. Strangely these all make us poor- Americans need to wake up. Our govt and its buddies like gates soros are taking money which = power. We are not free anymore

In addition to Schumer and the Bidens, let's not forget feckless Mike Johnson and the other neocon/Ziocon Republicans who "care" about Ukraine's border but not ours. And by endorsing MAGA-Mike's $61 billion more for Ukraine, President Trump, who says he could end the Ukraine/Russia war (really a US/NATO/Russia war) in a day, has just negated a prime reason to re-elect him. Did Trump learn nothing from having turned over his 1st administration to Paul Ryan, Reince Preibus, Mike Pompeo and other Never Trumpers?

In that package is 21 billion for Israel that is also used to buy those same criminals in politics including Trump.

The 61 billion dollars is going to produce a lot of dead and maimed bodies. But DC doesn't care because they think it will enhance their power, which is all those control freaks care about.

This might help people comprehend that amount of money:

A million seconds is 12 days.

A billion seconds is 31 years.

And for those not understanding the mountain(s) of debt the US is under:

A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.

And as Mike Adams says, we're adding a trillion to the U.S. debt every three months, soon to be every month, then every week, as the world flees the U.S. dollar. Germany 1923?

The whole point of what corrupt governments are doing with our money is to remove it from improving our lives and stash it in their private vaults or accounts to enrich themselves at our expense. Wealth is being stolen in this "great taking" and this is just one way they are able to do it with the consent of many of the governed.

John, I live by you and share your interests in our community. If you would be interested in talking sometime please let me know.

City planning, as well as sensible health care, availability of nutritious food, and a toxic free environment are all important to me.

We may have enough common interest in the community to get something positive done here. I hope so. Organizing at the community level has proved to be the most effective. Thanks for all you and Dr. McCullough have done for humanity. Chris Jonsson

And.....speaking of construction, John. For some reason I awoke this morning with this question in my head (perhaps because we hear NOTHING about it), WHAT OF LAHAINA?

Sure we will have lots more dead Ukrainians and Russians and lots more rich politicians and arms makers, but the worst part is what borrowing another $61 billion that we don't have will do to inflation and our financial standing. When you invest in a new building in this country, as you point out, you get not only construction jobs, but create many long-term jobs and opportunities for all kinds of people. When you borrow billions and throw them into the Black Hole of Ukraine you get very little back in the long term, other than making the average American poorer as prices rise and the federal government one step closer to bankruptcy.

Worse, you could get back nukes. The Russians know it's really our war (fighting to the last Ukrainian).

Interesting snippet on the war news feed this morning: Russians are capturing American Bradley APC painted in dun-yellow desert camouflage.

It seems these are the new vehicles sent in the latest aid shipment.

They were never repainted for camouflage in the Ukraine terrain, and immediately deployed, making relatively easy targets.

Ties up with pictures I saw last week of Bradleys in desert camouflage on trucks on the Polish border.

Price of green paint today ... not enough for it in the 61b?
