    Judging by the news coming out of Ukraine, Russia, and now the US, seems like everyone in government is cashing in on Ukraine.

    Won’t be long before it’s confirmed Zelensky did too.

    This won’t end well for the US long term but American capitalism can’t see that far.

    “Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff, who last week was busted coaching Russians on how to best suck up to the president, told The Wall Street Journal.

    “If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving,” Witkoff said.

    For Witkoff, Kushner, and the Russians, the goal is reportedly to revitalize Russia’s $2 trillion economy through joint Russia-U.S. ventures. At the center of the talks is $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets that Russia wants to give to U.S. businesses for investment projects and U.S.-led reconstruction of Ukraine.

        This is what “running the country like a private business” looks like. Line must go up.

    Follow the money.

    It’s a VERY old and EFFICTIVE police trick to FIND the real CRIMINAL.

      Yeah but police follow the money until it gets too hard to pull people in (or someone on the force is protecting them).

      So usually they just take your basic B&Es and corner street dealers and shoplifters and leave it at that.

      Nobody ever asked why the criminals chose a life of crime.

      Nobody goes after the employers that are paying slave wages, training employees how to sign up for welfare, or getting their employees to work off the clock.

      The welfare one especially. People get mad at welfare recipients and not the people that put them in that position. Welfare is subsidizing the Walton’s more than anything. They could afford to pay their employees a living wage, but why would they when they can pay the minimum and working-class taxpayers can pay for the rest. Dumbass redcaps should be shunning Walmart, not sucking its proverbial dick.

    They kinda want to enter phase 2 a bit early. I believe Biden and the rest would have planned this for after 10 or more years.

    That’s the first pic of trump that I have seen that makes him look somewhat normal for his age. God he looks like a villain.
