' How Much of American Tax Money Funds War ? . / the take . '
Please have Dr Vladimir Brovkin on the Duran.
Thank you Alexander ❤
what Congress did was equivalent to raising a big middle finger to the American people.
Six in 10 Americans favor providing both economic assistance to Ukraine and sending additional arms and military supplies to the Ukrainian government (58% each). Majorities of Democrats (75%) and Independents (54%) favor providing military aid to Ukraine along with (47%) of Republicans. Similarly, majorities of Democrats (78%) and Independents (54%) support providing economic assistance to Ukraine with (42%) Republicans. Seven in 10 Americans (69%), including majorities across party lines, favor the United States supporting Ukraine’s admission to NATO. A majority of Americans (60%) say that the US security relationship with Ukraine does more to strengthen US national security than it does to weaken it.
@JimCOsd55 9 out of 10 American's can't find Ukraine on a map so there's that.
They have no interest in the American people. Only interested in lining their pockets

If your country has enough money to send billions to sustain its proxies around the world, you are paying too much in taxes.
Not to mention our infrastructure is in bad shape, and we have no national health care which we are paying for in other countries
The money doesnt exist until it is created as debt, so debt based economy and war for profit what could go wrong??????????????????
Correct. And even more important, if that is what you're doing, and you are - for decades, you should be stopped.
If your country is doing what you describe than your country is controlled by external forces and your government just a facade.
Good point.
So proud of Russia from a nation i am ashamed of 🇨🇦

funny - meanwhile reality in russia :) -20% of houses has no inside toilet - apart military - rest economy is in the stagnation (war economy) - medical care is crap: 7 years shorter lives vs Western Europe + one of the highest alcohol related desists. - even with lower costs - level of living is below Bulgaria (the poorest country in the EU) - minium salary: $210/month! - corruption is on Africa level (140th place /180) - created current flood in Russia - but excuse is that "rodents eaten the dam" - he, he - infrastructure (apart from big cities) is 20 years behind Europe - commie looking towns+ poor villages - "brain drain" + population in decline (especially Slavic) - economy wise, Russia is becoming China vassal (totally depended on) - reserves are depleted - the war will be funded by higher taxes now - 15% of refineries are damaged by Ukrainian drones+ over 33% of Russian Black Sea fleet already sunk - fake "conservatism" - super high level of divorces/abortion/ alcoholism, etc. (only 8% of church attendees - lower than in Holland!) - "greeen revolution" will damage future profits soon (oil/gas economy) - Putin can't even protect Moscow against ISIS - despite warnings - the that you can go to prison for calling war a war (etc.), - is icing on the cake

Medvedev, who serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, argued that “the vote of gleeful American bastards” will only prolong the fighting and “increase the number of victims of this war.” “Obviously, we will win, regardless of the bloody dollars shoved down the throat of the insatiable [American] defense industry. The strength and the truth are on our side,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram, calling the US “a despicable empire of evil of the 21st century.” - RT

Keep relying on god and you'll be digging your own hole soon enough. Time to take the meaning of the word Democracy seriously - Demos - The People, Kratos - Rule. Governments should be afraid of their people, not the other way around
90% of the package is going back to the USA economy (plenty of vacancies in arms factories) - is a very good deal - because the war between NATO and Russia is LESS likely now.
Thank goodness for Russia and China, two great powers who can stand up against American hegemony.

One half of Republicans in the House now hates Johnson openly, the other half - secretly.
Half of Republicans are members of Uniparty.
Why 😮
Frankly they deserve it. they can not decouple from Trump and he is destroying the entire House. it was Trump who wanted McCarthy and then wanted him out. then he wanted Jordan but did not get him. Trump supported Johnson adn they got him. Trump met with Johnson just before the passage of the bill and came out saying that he support aid to the Ukraine now as well as long as the EU pays a little more. they keep hanging on what Trump wants and then he dumps them and flips. All Trump wants is a show where he can shine adn be in the news all the time.
Ask yourself, who the fark elected Johnson. You have answers there.

As a US tax payers I feel disgusted and angry, life is getting so hard in the US and these currupt politicians dont care about citizens. 🤬🤬🤬
the middle class will be cancelled out if not already, then it’ll be rich & poor. At my age my parents bought a house & started a family, & I could hardly afford to lease a car, and to get a mortgage would be my noose.
Well, I just bought a house for my little family here in the US. My payment is over $5k!!!!! That is insane! The middle class is getting destroyed! I agree.
@@djkly1 People I know bought their home in 1971 for $22,500. Today it is tax valued at $340,000. Insane American inflation.

A pay day for all of them no wonder they're cheering. You can be sure Russia will put the screws on to finish Ukraine before the election. As for Killary none of the murders related to her have ever been solved that's what owning the FBI gets you.What people fail to notice is all these western politicians EU and Israelistani are all relatives of WW2 Nazis and Facists. Ursula Von Der Leyen a Ukranian Jew with family members who were Nazis. Blinkin a Ukranian Jew with a Nazi family The Italian PM her grandfather was Mussolini the leader of the Fascist movement. Lithuania Latvia Estonia Romania were all active Nazi supporters in WW2. Most of these politicians are related by marriage across party lines and countries. As George Carlin said "its a big Club and you ain't in it."
Ukraine G-ment will get richer again..
300 billion has been spent in two years and now they really only get 18 of the 60 billion.
that US Republicans expect one of these DC politicians to have any kind of backbone is hilarious! 😂🤣
Républicain=Democrate same bullshit.
I can’t understand why they only authorized $61 billion, why not a blank cheque of a trillion plus. Remember, what ever it takes.
One step at a time !!!
Likely the Democrats could pressure Mike Johnson into another $60 Billion in October or after the election. (Fiscal Year starts Oct. 1st) , But a continuing Lend-Lease program that doesn't need Congressional authorization would also be good. Ukraine is going to need multi-year support for at least a decade plus.
All you need to understand about US Politics is that the MIC and AIPAC run the Show.
Do not expect that once taking advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russian has always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on an agreement signed by you, you are supposed to justify. They are not worth the paper it is written. Therefore, with the Russian is to play fair, or do not play. - *Otto von Bismarck*
They'll get their $300 billion back, plus interest, plus penalties. Or, assets to the same value (as decided by Russia, not the West).

I've been waiting for Alexander's analysis all day. I have come to depend very heavily on The Duran for a balanced, honest interpretation of current affairs.
They are unashamed Russian propaganda - its just that the Russians are being more honest at the moment - but they are not balanced or honest. eg they still say that Putin had nothing to do with Prigo's death. And they dispute all Russian losses - even when there is good evidence.
Me too.

What really 😮
Many of we voters in US have told our House representatives that we were AGAINST further foreign aid, and we would vote against them in November. The majority don’t care what their constituents want. I’m borrowing an excellent British phrase to describe most members of both the Senate & the House: they’re Not Fit For Purpose! To use/misuse an old Southern term, “They’re Scalawags!”
A Majority of Americans according to public polling in poll after poll want to see military aid to Ukraine.
@@JosephBisio Because they’re brainwashed. Just like you 🙄
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NO sport, they voted the way their constituents wanted, if not, they'd fear being voted out. It's not like in Russia where the CZAR GIVES THE ORDERS THAT MUST BE OBEYED. That's what Russians are used to, taking orders from the MASTER, its all they've known for centuries, Czars and dictators. BTW, Russia's presidential election was a complete sham. Any serious political opponent of Putin is either in prison or DEAD like Navalny and Prigozhin. Russia is a country of obedient serfs, afraid of punishment. They must OBEY! And Czar Putrid and his cronies have complete control of the news...and the MONEY. Russians only know what the MASTER wants them hear, the news is heavily censored. Any criticism of the Special Fascist Operation by Russians and they go to PRISON.
I don't think UKR will last until November, am I the only one?

The American people have doubts about Ukraine. Border wide open. Johnson is history.
Not as long as he has Democratic support 😅🤣😂
❤😊THANK YOU SIR
Thank you Alexander!
Mr Mercouris, another great program, thank you again!!
Ukraine dependency on foreign handouts is analogous to that of an addict hunger for more drug.
NO they need "foreign handouts " to survive as a nation...
@@JosephBisiono. They were like this before the war too. They have been the most corrupt “nation” in Europe since the Soviet Union broke up. They borrowed money and never paid it back. They laundered money. Their entire population and politicians are addicted to handouts and they don’t know anything else or want anything else
Remember the following game changers, patriot missile system, German tanks, cruise missiles,challanger tanks, Abraham tanks. all claiming to be game changers.However Russia is still winning.
Meanwhile the Russian glide bombs HAVE proved to be the real "game changers" in this conflict.
Alexander the great 👍
“In an interview with NBC's ‘Meet the Press,’ [E]lenskyy said the passage of the [usa] bill would send a powerful message to Russia” yes it did: 🤡🎪
Yep today Monday Russia is back to making their usual phony nuclear threats that have zero credibility.
Thank you sir Mercurious. Be blessed.
In the US Army we never refer to a LT Colonel as anything other than a Colonel. When you're a full fledged Colonel, you're referred to as a "full bird" Colonel. So, you were actually right. Thank you for all your hard work, Alexander. God bless you and your family.
@red, world over a Lt Col is "called" a colonel
Name please I will wait 😮
@@user-pj5tl5gf6l Name? Who? Myself??? Yeah, ok...😅🤣😂
Russia has been trying to find an agreement with the West since many years; 1990-91, Minsk 1, Minsk 2, Dec 2021, April 2022. But the collective West leaders behaved like arrogant shysters.
Russia love breaking its promises with the west since the Russian elite can not fathom a world where Russia is not a major power. Ignoring the facts on the ground that Russia is NOT a major power anymore. Major power dont spend 2 years stuck fighting a border war. Major powers dont have to drag 1950's era equipment from storage to send to the front line because they lost so much stuff they cant replace it.
Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 are mere scraps of useless paper after Putin's Feb 2022 Invasion of Ukraine. In March-April 2022 there was NO agreement with any party merely an exchange of notes by Ukraine and Russia ONLY. Also the USA was never a party to Minsk 1 and Minsk 2
@@JosephBisio Another deluded wanker 🙄
This is post from someone who knows nothing about Minsk & the various RU invasions of Ukraine and doesn't realize there was no agreement in March-April 2022 and nothing that could have been implemented between RU & UA. It was merely an exchange of diplomatic notes not some "peace agreement".
I wish Americans listened to Colonel Scott Ritter! One of the few honest American voices.
Maybe they would if he would not masturbate on the webcam for a child
Scott Ritter? The convicted sex child offender? Really?
Ritter merely rinses and repeats Russian propaganda for a Western audience and has been paid by RT in the past. Like the RU propaganda/ information space he his neither honest nor does he have a good track record in his predictions of the course of the war.
@@JosephBisio What a wanker 🙄
I read where Johnson secured his son's entry into the Naval Academy and an export storage facility for liquid natural gas in his home state of Louisiana.
Johnson went flaccid.
I see what you did there! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

Time for Mike Moses to call his son !!

If I was a US citizen I'd want to see how eveeyone voted. These clowns are going to look bad when Ukraine surrenders.
They'd look much worse if Ukraine got conquered by Putin's savages and it was blamed on them for not giving Ukraine the weapons aid to defend themselves.
What's the motivation for Ukraine to surrender ??
They'd look even worse if Ukraine fell to Putin's butchers because they held back the aid. Understand?
No 60 or 600billion will save Urki from losing this war no matter what western countries will do. The best thing to do swallow this bitter pill and read some Russian history.
True 👍
@@Theone-bc7tr Looks like the summer collapse won’t happen 😨😨😰😰😭😭.
@@mistressofeconomicinvincib7017 You walk into a store with more money you can care about but to store is empty the shelves have nothing. Money worth nothing if you have nothing to buy.
We have read Russian history and the 19th and 20th Centuries history of Imperialism ...We know what comes next once Ukraine is defeated....
@@JosephBisio maybe you did but unfortunately not many people know it.
Thank you 😊
The NAFO think they are getting $60 Billion and go crazy when I tell them it’s only $13.8 Billion 😂😂
Ukraine are able to say anything they want . 300 tanks in such small village not even town . I think the statement of Ukraine saying they have destroyed 300 tanks is meant for its western sponsors , who are the owners of Ukraine.
Statements are backed up with video's !!!
"Ukraine are able to say anything they want . " Just like Moscow MoD with exaggerated accounts of UA losses at the front...
Thank's once again Alexander with great update and information.👍
Thank you . Great program.
The ammo and weapons shortage the US and the collective west are currently suffering is the result of decades of de-industrialization and global outsourcing to Pacific Rim nations, and US foreign policy encouraging businesses to export jobs there and Wall Street investors to put their money on overseas ventures rather than in domestic interests.
Explain to me how the US is running out of ammo when US arms sales have hit record levels since 2022? The US isnt not running out of ammo, its running out of ammo that the law allows it give to Ukraine. These 2 are not the same thing.
Our production is anemic regardless of stockpiles.
@timothymcconnell9343 over a 1000 F 35s have been made and delivered. Russia can't make a dozen SU57 or T 14s. Yeah anemic production.
@@Jamicaman516 It's the Pentagon crying that it cannot dole out more ammo and weapons to Ukraine without emasculating its own military. And Russian production of artillery shells, bullets, missiles, rockets and drones -- materiel that win wars -- greatly outpaces those of the collective west.
This is Zelensky s " game changer, after tanks; ghost of Kiev, vacation in Crimea, Bradleys, Putin is dead, Russians out of weapons😂...
..and Abrams and Leos..and ..and...
More money for Elensky to buy himself new homes as Alex C like to joke..
Good day Alexander thank you for all your effort to bring us the truth 😁
Good day, Mercouris!
Alexander and many other commentators fail to mention that approval of $61 billion for Ukraine came on the second day after Zelensky signed the draconian forced mobilization law! That was a trade off: Ukraine supplies the meat, USA provides the money!
This is just BS. The aid bill was delayed six months so there is NO trade-off that you implied.
Well I'm sure unwilling soldiers will save UKR. Graham thinks so.
@@JosephBisio Well… the bill was ready six months ago but delayed until last week. During this time many high ranking US and EU politicians, like Lindsey Graham, CIA director William Burns, NATO Secretary Stoltenberg, Holland’s Prime Minister, President of Poland and many more traveled to Ukraine URGING them to pass this mobilization law. Lindsey Graham famously said “your country is at war, there cannot be an age restriction for mobilization, 25, 20, 16… ALL have to go to the front lines!”(google that) Also during that time every major Western propaganda outlet, like the Wall Street, Washington Post, the Tymes, etc were coming out with articles stating money was not an issue, manpower was the issue to continue supporting Ukraine. Fast forward to mid April 2024…. Ukraine announced the Parliament(Rada) would vote on the mobilization law later in the week. 18 hours later Speaker Johnson announced the vote on the”aid bill” would go ahead in Congress. Ukraine passes the mobilization law, Zelensky signs it, two days later the Congress votes on and passes the $61 billion “aid package” for Ukraine. So, I am sorry and you are right, I admit my mistake, all of this was pure coincidence, there is absolutely nothing tying all of these facts together!
@@JosephBisio Well, my first response somehow did not make it here, let’s try again!😄 The bill was ready six months ago yet was not put up for vote for whatever reason, since then numerous high ranking US, EU and NATO officials visited Ukraine and urged them to pass the infamous mobilization law. US Senator Lindsey Graham famously said while standing in Kiev “ your country fights for its survival, every one, regardless of age, there shouldn’t be an age restriction, be that 25, 20 or 16 has to go to the frontline “(google that) NATO Secretary, President of Poland, Prime Ministers of Netherlands, Finland, EU’s Joseph Borrel all have stated Ukraine needs to pass this mobilization law! During these 6 months ALL western media outlets came out with articles saying money was not the problem, manpower was and without this mobilization law Ukraine would lose. Fast forward to mid April… Ukrainian Parliament announced they would vote on this law in the coming days and they do! US Congress announces they would also vote on “aid package” to Ukraine. Zelensky signed it into law and 2 days later US Congress approves “aid package”. You are right, it was all a sheer coincidence, I made a mistake and I admit it!😂
@@JosephBisio wow, twice my comment was deleted! Yes, it was an absolute trade off, follow the timeline!
Thank you for your analysis
Oh no! Looks like $61 billion will prevent the front from collapsing this summer 😨😨😰😰😭😭. Maybe next time!
Good analysis
If all this money weapons gone to Russia the war will be over by now and half a million souls still alive. But this is stupid thinking from me.
Why would the US send money and weapons to a hostile dictatorship ??
Why would the US send money & weapons to a hostile dictatorship ??
Why would the US send money & weapons to a hostile regime ??
Yes it is pretty stupid thinking...I completely agree.....pretty stupid thinking even for a vatnik....
Great analysis Alexander Thanks
Thank you for your update Alexander. J.
The original Natsis didnt lose the war because they did run out of money. And all the money in the world wont change the outcome of this war.
