Pentagon Says ‘Accounting Error’ Provides Extra $6.2 Billion in Ukraine Military Aid
The Pentagon claims it overestimated the value of weapons it sent to Ukraine
Pentagon Says ‘Accounting Error’ Provides Extra $6.2 Billion in Ukraine Military Aid
So how much are US taxpayers on the hook for?! They’re depreciating weapons supplied to Ukraine, from stockpiles, but replenishing them will cost more! Not to mention, military contractors are price gouging!
A Few Observations
It’s sabotage, when it happens to Russia, but terrorism almost anywhere else! It’s spying, when it’s China, but it’s reconnaissance (or ISTAR) when the USG (US Government) does it! It’s freedom of navigation when the USG does it (despite not ratifying UNCLOS) but if China did it, it would be aggression! As I said before, the majority of those who want to stop arming Ukraine just want war with China!

Media Bias: Ukraine Blocks Journalists From Front Lines With Escalating Censorship
After Ukrainian forces regained control of the port city of Kherson last November, following eight months of Russian occupation, some journalists entered the liberated city within hours. Without formal permission to be there, they documented the jubilant crowds welcoming soldiers with hugs and Ukrainian flags. Ukrainian officials, who tightly control press access to the front lines, responded by revoking the journalists’ press credentials, claiming that they had “ignored existing restrictions.”

Inside the high-stakes clash for control of Ukraine’s story:
The heated clashes have remained largely behind the scenes because the credentials are vital to report from the country, and journalists worry that a public conflict might further threaten their access. Most of the journalists from Western and Ukrainian news organizations who have clashed with their handlers spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Tales of the American Empire: The American Colony of Iraq
In 2003, the United States launched an unprovoked invasion of Iraq, destroyed that nation, and transformed it into a colony. Its proud, professional army was disbanded, its government institutions run by the Baath Party were dismembered, and its national oil company was privatized. The United States created a puppet government and army controlled with a massive spy system that identifies and liquidates dissidents called terrorists. The billions of dollars earned each year from Iraqi oil exports is sent to the New York Federal Reserve bank. Americans use these funds to manage Iraqi government operations, to include the pay for its government officials and generals.
Most American troops left in 2011, but several thousand remained hidden away as training units and backed by American combat units in nearby Kuwait. They engage in occasional combat as part of the ongoing “Operation Inherent Resolve.” In 2020, Iraq’s parliament rebelled and voted to expel all American troops from Iraq. American leaders ignore this demand, blame unrest on Iranian interference, and continue to rule and loot Iraq.
