In his years as the chief executive of one of Ukraine's biggest construction firms, Oleh Maiboroda kept rolls of dollar bills in a safe behind his desk.
Goddamn, with the amount of negative coverage coming from Reuters, NYT, and other US/UK propaganda outfits, it really feels like the new military goal is to undermine support for the war, which means either the USA is scrambling to react to other events (Africa, China, Okinawa, India) or they want to further expand the red/blue divide in advance of the election.
Are you surprised? People in Washington are openly talking about how they should be focusing on China under the assumption that China will somehow make the decision to seize Taiwan tomorrow... As if they haven't been posturing about that literally since the end of the civil war and done nothing except increase trade, open up immigration, and increase cultural coupling with Taiwan.
The US needs an enemy to justify their extreme military budget and China is the bogeyman of the decade.
The weird thing is that the US is pretty much just sending old military equipment to Ukraine that the US has no use for. The aid provided is barely noticeable in the US military budget. If the US actually focused on this the war would be over in a month.
