Everyone watching the news is rooting for the citizens of Ukraine to defeat Russia. There are no circumstances where it is remotely acceptable for Russia to use brutal military force to take over a clearly independent country. But, as always, there is more to the story. A story that the MSM has totally ignored. It is a story of blatant and systemic corruption. A story complicated by the inconvenient fact that Hunter Biden appears to have been a direct participant in that corruption on behalf of his father, Joe Biden.
The U.S. gave billions to Ukraine, under the direct guidance of then Vice President. Joe Biden is rich man. How, exactly, did that happen? Is it a coincidence? There is even a video of Joe Biden demanding Ukraine fire the prosecutor investigating fraud, or he would personally block additional aid. No one in the MSM appears to have given this a moment of thought. They were too hysterical over the possibility that Donald Trump suggested Zelensky investigate a situation that sure looked suspicious.
The following report identifies some of the alleged corruption. While this may or not be totally documented, there are numerous reports from multiple news entities reporting on systemic corruption in Ukraine:
I still believe we should give aid to Ukraine. We simply cannot turn our back on the brutal military assault by Russia. But we should also do some serious investigating on how we got here.
This should have been a concern to everyone, liberal or conservative, Republican or Democrat. Since when is it acceptable for the U.S. to send our hard earned dollars to a foreign country famous for corruption? If that money had been used properly, it is possible that The Ukraine may have been better prepared to defend itself. They certainly could have more resources than they had when this invasion occurred.
Donald Trump suggested the new President of Ukraine, Zelensky, investigate the obvious corruption, but since this involved Hunter Biden, Democrats responded by literally impeaching him. Apparently suggesting investigation regarding what still looks and feels like blatant corruption, was a crime against humanity. Why? Because if it turned out that Hunter Biden was funneling money to his dad, who happened to be running against Donald Trump, that could have influenced the 2020 election. Duh! They are right about that. If the American people knew the truth about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, it would have influenced the election. Trump would have won. We just might have avoided at least some of this mess.
Which is worse? Trump doing something that could help him politically, or Joe Biden getting rich off blatant corruption? Which is worse, trying to stop someone like Joe Biden becoming President, or conspiring to put him in office without regard to his ability to do the job and with even less regard to the consequences.
The New York Times just reluctantly admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop is legitimate, and the emails that seem to refer to this father are legitimate. But when this story broke, the New York Times not only refused to investigate it, but they also dismissed it as “Russian misinformation” invented out of whole cloth by Russia to help the Trump campaign. More utter nonsense fueled by the totally discredited Russian Collusion hoax. They were quickly supported by Twitter, which banned the New York Post for daring to report on this. Again, part of the conspiracy between the DNC, the MSM and social media to defeat Donald Trump, without the slightest regard to the truth and with even less regard to the consequences.
Well take a look at the consequences. Who, exactly, benefited from this? It sure didn’t benefit the citizens of The Ukraine. It didn’t help us, as we now have the ineptest President in the history of the United States, confronted by an extremely dangerous situation literally risking nuclear war, and the only person less capable is next in line for the position.
Truth or consequences.
