ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: BIDEN’S SON

That Ukraine is a corrupt nation is an established fact.  Apparently, they agreed to clean up the problem if we would give them financial aid.  Around March of 2019 they assured our diplomats that there was no longer any corruption.  Congress  decided that based on what they said, Ukraine should get close to $400 million dollars of our tax payer money.   But Trump wasn’t convinced they’d done a good job of investigating possible corruption with the Bidens   so he decided to hold up the money until they did.  Now, Trump’s about to be impeached for bribery.    But the Elephant in the Room is Joe  Biden’s son.  Is Congress ignoring the fact that his high paying jobs in Ukraine and China sounded suspicious?

Here’s what we know about Hunter Biden.  He got kicked out of the Navy  in May of 2014   because he tested positive for cocaine.  He made a bundle because of his Dad’s influence as Vice President of the United States. From 2014 until 2019, he served on the board of Burisma Holding, a Ukranian gas producer,making around $50,000 a month.  He made millions of dollars working with a private equity firm in China.    And now, the latest revelation comes from his baby mama in Arkansas , who’s suing him in a paternity case.  Apparently, this gallant fellow  denied he had fathered her child  born in August of 2018 until a DNA test proved he was, indeed, the father. It looks like Hunter is the black sheep of the family. But strangely, Congress hasn’t shown the slightest bit of interest in his lucrative deals with China and the Ukraine.

So, if Trump is impeached, Hunter Biden gets away with all that money he earned  because he was the son of the Vice President of the United States of America. .

Well, maybe he can use it to pay child support in Arkansas.

WHY DO WE SEND MILLIONS TO UKRAINE?

One good thing has come out of the impeachment hearings.   We’re now aware that our taxpayer dollars are being sent to support one of the most corrupt countries in the world. While the politicians fight it out in congress, we have to ask ourselves: Why do we send millions to Ukraine?

The cold war supposedly ended in 1991, when  U.S. President George H.W. Bush announced,  ” By the grace of God, America won the Cold War: ”  After that,  the average American stopped worrying about Russia .  Since Sept. 11, we’ve been preoccupied with ISIS, the Taliban  and terrorism.   So, why are we so invested in Ukraine?

Why send millions of dollars to corrupt Ukraine
Wikipedia quotes Ernest and Young as saying Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

It started in 2014, when Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and continued to occupy it. Many foreign policy experts believe that Ukraine,   caught in the middle between East and West., is the bulwark against Russian expansionism.  And so, through NATO,  we got sucked into sending aid to Ukraine.

 In 2015 The Guardian called Ukraine “the most corrupt nation in Europe”. According to a poll conducted by Ernst & Young (accounting firm) in 2017, experts considered Ukraine to be the ninth-most corrupt nation in the world.”

So now, we’re in an impeachment inquiry about withholding money from  Ukraine.  At least two of the star witnesses have family ties to  either the Ukraine or Russia.   Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman, Director of European Affairs for the National Security Council. was born in the Ukraine.  Former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’ s parents fled Russia before she was born in Canada.  She grew up speaking Russian.

So, what will happen if the president is impeached because he demanded an investigation into  Ukraine corruption?  Will we keep sending  more and more aid,  with no strings attached? ?    Maybe we’re spreading ourselves a bit thin, fighting battles all over the world and giving away money  without getting anything back in return.

Can the average American understand why we sent $400 million dollars in aid  to the Ukraine?  One of the most corrupt countries in the world?  Honestly, I don’t think so.
