McMafia wants to create OBSHCHAK assuming financial and executive control over profits from Ukraine's resources that they intend to "invest" as they see fit into Ukraine's economy and collect those profits back into their obshchak. In other words, Ukraine is to become a US colony in perpetuity.

🧵 "$174B sent to Ukraine" is a myth 📌 U.S. only sent $65.9B in military aid to Ukraine (State Dept, Jan 20, 2025). $22B/year. 📌 More than $51.2B of supposed "Ukraine military aid" spent on our own defense industrial base instead. 📌 Russia spends $160B/year on the war. 8x what we sent Ukraine.

🇺🇸 CNN poll shows just 8% of Americans view Russia positively—on par with those who think the moon landing was fake. 61% see Russia as an enemy, and only 4% as a partner. Only 9% like Putin, with the same percentage believing the Earth is flat. 52% support Ukraine using U.S. weapons in Russia.

Exactly right. Putin is back in the ‘superpower’ chair, despite being a war criminal presiding over massive harm to the Russian army & economy. Trump has given him an unnecessary & undeserved diplomatic win, instead of helping Ukraine beat him on the battlefield.

Speaker Mike Johnson agrees “wholeheartedly” that Trump can make sweeping cuts to federal spending without the approval of Congress. This is in opposition to our Constitution’s separation of powers & the Congress he represents
