Tucker questions why the US government continues to send untracked money and weapons to Ukraine, risking nuclear war with Russia, while seemingly doing nothing about China or our own problems at home. Highlights include:
“If we’re paying more for gas ‘cuz of ‘Putin’s price hike,’ why isn’t Mexico paying more for gas because of Putin, too? Why is inflation up when wages are down? This doesn’t make any sense.”
“So, if you want to answer those questions, you really have to look at government spending. Last month, Mexico’s government did not follow the Biden administration’s lead in sending its strategic petroleum reserve to China, they did not do that. Instead, here’s what Mexico did. They spent $2 billion in subsidies to keep gas prices lower for consumers. In other words, the government of Mexico, in the middle of a drug war, is taking better care of its citizens than Joe Biden is taking care of his citizens, and that is shameful.”
“Once we send these weapons to Ukraine, where do they go then? What happens to them? These are sophisticated and deadly weapon systems.”
“Well, no one knows where they go. No one’s keeping track.”
“US officials, Biden administration officials have admitted that to the Wall Street Journal. ‘Once US equipment is handed to the Ukrainian government, US officials said, they have little direct knowledge of where that material goes, relying on the Ukrainian government for such information. The administration hasn’t agreed to allow American military troops, who could conduct some oversight, into the country.’ Huh. So, you send billions to Ukraine in the middle of a war and then you don’t bother to find out what happens to it? What will happen to these weapons? Well, the Czech defense minister knows. He has said these weapons, some of them will be smuggled out of Ukraine.”
“Your tax dollars are now paying the salaries of Ukrainian government bureaucrats. In all, your congress has approved more than $50 billion for Ukraine. That includes $7 billion in food assistance and health care, along with $9 billion for ‘economic support’, whatever that means. There’s also $2 billion for refugee assistance. So, just as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
“We’re sending bales of $100 bills into a war zone and hoping they find the right pockets. Again, this is nuts, and yet leaders of both parties agree we have to keep doing it, much more of it.”
“What does the ’cause of liberty’ have to do with Ukraine? Well, very little. Last February the Ukrainian government shut down opposition media, then they arrested the leader of the main opposition party. Now, President Zelenskyy has decided to combine all television stations in Ukraine into a state owned propaganda ministry in order to combat ‘misinformation.'”
“Now, what is that? Well, I’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not the profile of a free country. Not even close.”
“Is Vladimir Putin more of less communist than, say, Sandy Cortez? More or less communist than, say, Joe Biden’s domestic policy? Is he more committed atheist than they are? Is Putin throwing Americans in jail for attending political rallies at the capitol? Is he trying to confiscate the rifles from your bedroom? Is he sterilizing children in the name of ‘trans-liberation’? Whatever his many faults, no, Vladimir Putin is not doing any of that. As for his ‘apparently limitless international ambitions,’ ask yourself, is Vladimir Putin recolonizing Africa right now? Is Vladimir Putin trying to build military bases in the Caribbean and South America? No, he’s not, but another country is. That would be China, Joe Biden’s patron. Putin wants Crimea, he may succeed in getting it, but it is China that’s on its way to controlling the world.”
“The most dishonest, the most power hungry people in the United States are the very ones yelling the loudest for a war with Russia. These are the people telling you that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal bent on world domination. Why are they saying that? Why are they suggesting Vladimir Putin’s going to take over Europe? That’s not true, but why are they saying it? Well, there’s a reason. A reason that has precisely nothing to do with saving lives or making Ukraine a better country.”
