  1. John Kirby is simply denying what the majority of us know at this point which is that the
    US has been throwing money at the MIC to replace weapons being sent to Ukraine and
    more than likely laundering money and enriching all involved. It's despicable.

  2. More money for the war industry while Americans go hungry. Repulsive.

  3. NBC, with the help of John Kerby (Agent Smith Sr.) have shattered the Satire Barrier and landed in the Comedy Zone. 🤣 Shall we expect the same exceptional results we enjoyed with Afghanistan?

  4. Ok, so show receipts and accept prosecution.

  5. These fools have been forcing other warring parties to negotiate peace and stop prolonging conflicts. Why can't they do the same with Zelensky and save the world from this threat of a nuclear war!

  6. That said, whatever the cost to defeat Russia is absolutely worth it.

  7. blank check or not, Zelensky is merely a stand-in for Uncle Sam.

  8. Lend- Lease ………………..

  9. Life in Ukraine was easy. That is, until they voted the little impostor into office. Then conditions rapidly deteriorated. Yet, this disruption might have been avoided entirely by simply complying with Russia’s security interests much like Cuba, Mexico and Canada may only ignore the requirements of the USA to their detriment.

    Soldiers have the satisfaction of bringing down twenty thousand dollar drones. At a million dollars a pop. It costs them nothing. For all they know this expense is borne by a financial angel from a bottomless pit. And could care less. Zelensky does not know when to stop asking for more. If taxpayers tire of bearing the weight of these expenditures they are confident that the little trickster has a card up his sleeve that will force NATO to join the fray before it stops supplying weapons.

    Ukraine that is a Christian country with Godly faith wishes to emulate western nations that pay obeisance to the Cremation Cult, a Satanic creed. The salvation of Ukraine resides with mother Russia.

    Thousands of homeless in each city. Tens of thousands in each city rely on food banks for adequate sustenance.

    Each attempted use of land is met with organized protest. The earth and the increase that it yields was not promised to Ukrainians.

    Should Zelensky’s operation be successful, Ukraine is to be transformed into a nation of tenants struggling with financial Ponzi by placing a halt on the further use of land, causing home prices to skyrocket beyond reach, adopting a process that proved effective in Australia and Canada, with rent at maximum levels extorted from residents and shunted directly into the pockets of the chosen few. The aggregate of rental income dwarfs revenue from taxation accruing to government.

    Ukrainians that realize their children cannot become established do not raise families. Their reward following a lifetime of hard work is to die on the street. Massive immigration maintains population levels.

    The economy will function like one gigantic enterprise in which the lifetime earnings of residents are exacted through rent. Tenancies are replenished from nations worldwide while its native sons vanish into oblivion. Ukraine will be populated by others that are strangers to this land and not by the heirs of those that are fighting and dying.

    They have sacrificed their lives in vain.

  10. Censor the heck out of the comments NBC/Tube.

  11. but there has been Ukraine money, our tax dollars, laundered via FTX back to the establishment Dem/Rino party and off shore slush funds. Oddly Beto just returned $1 million back to Sam Banksterman Fried today. He's the only Dem/Rino that's owned up, the rest are as silent as the media is on tn the topic. Banksterman also pumped the media full of our money. Keep eating like hogs and staring at your phones sheeple, while your elected officials steal our money and get away with it.

  12. No blank checks huh, if it was up to me this entire government would be abolished and tried for treason.

  13. And that’s how you legally Launder Billions in bright daylight ! Cause NO ONE knows where billions went ! #Ukraine = next Afghanistan !

  14. It’s not blank checks, it’s our account and routing numbers..

  15. Where did the Billions Go ? Ukraine saying they don’t have any money now and NEED MORE Blank checks !

  16. Do you mean “blank cheque” ? 🤔

  17. He is full of lies and 💩 Ukraine is getting everything they want for free n on top of that guess who is going to pay USA taxpayers money 💰

  18. why are there still people in America without a roof over their heads when this money going out the back door?

  19. This money should be used to fund homeless in USA. Such a shame.

  20. Did Kirby get a new title? Seems longer than it was.

  21. No Blank checks just signed checks for 100 billion here and a 100 billion there with no end in sight and meanwhile here in the States more and more people living on the streets with more excuses why we can't afford to help get America problems straightened out.

  22. What about the people at home protesting mandatory vaccines for healthcare workers

  23. " I get paid to lie"-John Kirby

  24. There's been a lot of dirty checks. The US is knowingly arming and training 'Not Sea' divisions in Ukraine. Remember how we won WW2? The current crop of politicians are spitting in the veterans' faces and undoing the work they fought so hard to achieve.

  25. Millions of people overrun our border hundreds of thousands die each year from fentanyl and you're worried about 1 or 2 people detained in Russia?

  26. US government possible closed December 15 no fiscal budget 2023

  27. Liberal propaganda!! Talk about Hunter Biden laptop. Our tax payers money should be spent on our people!

  28. It's real clear: Clear the airspace. Start the "Kyev Airlft" and finally provide the Ukrainians with the capacity to strike the sources of Russian bombardment and airstrikes. What's happening is an indictment of the entire civilized community.We have been here before..

  29. Bet that money never reaches the citizens of ukraine.

  30. US and Western sanctions against China after attacks on protesters

  31. US aircraft carriers secure independence Taiwan territory against China invasion

  32. Very appreciative of both sides of the aisle just proves they are on the same team, Clown schwab would be very proud of this man

  33. "The white mouse does not explode."-Tom and Jerry. It's the episode where an exploding white mouse escapes from a laboratory and the government put out an alert saying it will explode don't touch it and at the end of the cartoon the government put out a new alert saying it wont explode and Tom thought it was Jerry cause he was pretending to be the white mouse and Tom kicked the real white mouse and it exploded blowing up the neighborhood. Moral of the story, don't believe the government official that repeatedly lies to you.

  34. Who is gonna pay for the wall?
    Mexico

    Who is gonna pay for the Ukraine war, run the Ukraine government, and reconstruction of war torn Ukraine?
    US tax payers.

    Hallelujah hallelujah

  35. The Russians are protecting it why would they want it to blow up if they did it would have already happened, Prevailing winds would take the fallout into Russia you do the math

  36. It is the right time for Us and it's allies to patriot missiles to Ukraine.

  37. Good ole space based W.

  38. Joe laundered billions to Ukraine then Ukraine sent a large portion to FTX that then sent it to the democrats and rhinos to steal the midterm.

  39. And then Putin will blow it up again right after you blew up the pipelines?
