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.

Now that we’ve endured endless hours of Mueller’s testimony before Congress, we know for sure that Russia interfered in our election. The question is: Why did Russia back Trump, and how ? You have to dig pretty deep to find out.

Putin hated Clinton for interfering in his 2011 election

Back in 2011 , when Prime Minister Putin was running for President, then Secretary of State Clinton interfered with his election bid against a guy named Medvedev. It seems she bet on the wrong horse. Putin won, and he’s held a grudge against Hillary ever since. I think it’s important for Americans to understand why Putin didn’t want her to win. . https://time.com/4422723/putin-russia-hillary-clinton/

Speaking from personal experience, I can remember many Facebook advertisements slamming Clinton and supporting Trump. I saw them as spam. I was annoyed when Facebook allowed all of these unwanted posts on my page. Why aren’t they now sharing some of the blame for what happened? It was quite obvious that someone had it in for Clinton. Are we supposed to believe Facebook executives didn’t know the origin of these posts?

The media has led us to believe that Trump was doing something illegal by trying to establish a hotel in Moscow. If that is true, what about the other 3,000 American companies that currently do business in Russia? My former brother in law was with a big accounting firm that had an office in Moscow over 30 years ago. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2016/08/03/headline-halah-t/#6db933635f99

After listening to hours of tedious testimony by Mueller in the hearings this week, It seems to me that it was all much ado about nothing. As FBI agent Peter Storzok said in his famous e mail, “ I’m afraid there’s no there , there.”

Let’s stop wasting money on this investigation that means very little to the average American. Why doesn’t Congress focus their efforts on lowering prescription drug prices, cleaning up the mess at the border, improving our crumbling infrastructure, and changing the way we grant student loans?

Get to work, guys.
