Ukraine is not Afghanistan.
The point of propaganda is to keep everyone chasing their tail and fighting against brandolinis law. If they keep the pressure on they win by default because any data that validates one conspiracy theory instantly validates 99 others that have no verifiable data. >

Good, let’s keep it that way and help crush Russia. >

Trollfarm already in full swing in these comments. >

Which one? >

MAGAs for Russia >

Do you reckon there is enough of them to counter the regular ukrbots? >

Zero evidence of misuse of funds. Can we finally put an end to this dumbass Russian talking point? >

It’s a political statement. To silence the propaganda. Probably made because UA made big moves to curb the corruption recently. >

Except for the fact that the funds are all tracked with custom software? Don't take my words for it but by the american congressman who visited Kyiv like 2 weeks ago (forgive me for I don't remember his name, americans have hundreds of them XD) 
Furthermore aid is different to state budgets and tenders. Aid comes with a very specific end goal, when you get economic aid you can only spend it on what it was given for, and you often don't even get the money transferred to your banks, you are the middleman to the end product i.e. the transfer goes from US to supplier. The money the IMF gives Ukraine is free spending money that the government can allocate as it needs without a strict limit of what it can be spent on. >

IMF loans generally come with strings attached as well. I would be very surprised if the IMF just gave Ukraine money without ANY stipulations. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 61%. (I'm a bot)


The United States has no evidence that US funds are being misused in Ukraine, but will continue to work closely with the Ukrainian authorities to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent corruption.
"We have no indications that US funds have been misused in Ukraine. We welcome the ongoing efforts of the Ukrainian authorities to work with us to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place that US assistance reaches those for whom it is intended," reads the comment by Megan Apper, a spokeswoman for the Department.
She added that the US Treasury would continue to work closely with the World Bank, as well as with Ukraine and other partners, to track US funds "To confirm that they are being used as intended".

It might actually be the best investment the US military has ever made in its entire history, maybe besides the manhattan project. I would bet every American general would agree with that assessment 🤷 >

It’s definitely the most economical war we never entered. For pennies on the dollar we are completing a number of objectives. Gaining a new motivated NATO ally, fucking over a strategic adversary, securing weapons deals for the forceable future. >

All at the expense of Ukrainian lives and who gives a fuck about that amirite??? >

I mean, that is the point for America, they can just send money and improve their global position tremendously at the loss of none of their own lives.  And its not like they are the bad guys for doing it that way, what chance does Ukraine have without their support?  This is a giant win for the states and their allies.  If you think military leaders are going to start worrying about individual lives being lost, no matter the source, I have some land to sell you floating past Newfoundland right now. >

The police investigate the police and find no misgivings vibes. >

Stupid Retrumplicans will still hoot and holler about how we're "wasting" money that could be spent stateside. Dollars being in equipment provided aside, as if they'd be for anything proposed to use those funds on. >

I'm all for us continuing to fund them but to say there's no misuse would be naive. >

So.....
In the first time in history, nobody fucked around with war time American money.
If you truly believe that, I have a bridge to sell you. If you're interested. >

In Ukraine, a notoriously corrupt country.
I’m all about fucking the Russians up by sending equipment over there but when you tell me there’s 0 misuse of funds I’m gonna doubt it. >

If Afganistan has tought us anything, that headlines probably not true.
