Ron Paul Liberty Report - Weekly Update --- More Billions to Ukraine as America Falls Apart Aired: 2024-01-11 Duration: 04:39 === America Falls Apart (04:36) === [00:00:03] Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report, More Billions to Ukraine as America Falls Apart. [00:00:12] There's a video clip making the rounds showing President Biden speaking at a recent NATO summit about the $7 billion U.S. government had at that time provided to Ukraine. [00:00:26] Attached to that is another clip showing the horrific state of several U.S. major cities, including in Pennsylvania, California, and Ohio. [00:00:37] The video of American cities is shocking. [00:00:40] Endless landscapes of filth, trash, homelessness, open fires on the street, drug-addicted zombies. [00:00:48] It doesn't look like America's most of us remember. [00:00:53] Watching Biden bragging about sending billions of dollars to corrupt leaders overseas with American cities looking like bombed-out Iraq or Libya is U.S. foreign policy in a nutshell. [00:01:06] The Washington elites tell the rest of America that they must promote democracy in some far-off land. [00:01:15] Anyone who objects is considered in league with the appointed enemy of the day. [00:01:20] Once it was Saddam, then Assad, and Gaddafi. [00:01:25] Now it's Putin. [00:01:27] The game is the same, only the names are changed. [00:01:31] What is seldom asked is, what is in this deal for those Americans who suffer to pay for our interventionist foreign policy? [00:01:41] Do they really think a working American in Ohio or Pennsylvania is better off or safer because we are supposedly protecting Ukraine's borders? [00:01:53] I think most Americans would wonder why they aren't bothering to protect our own borders. [00:02:00] A reported 200,000 illegals crossed the border into the U.S. in July alone. [00:02:06] You can believe they are learning quickly about the free money provided by the U.S. government to illegals. [00:02:13] They'll probably get a voting card as well. [00:02:17] Last Friday, the Pentagon announced that yet another $775 million would be sent to Ukraine. [00:02:26] As anti-war.com reported, it was the 18th weapons package to Ukraine in six months. [00:02:34] Has there ever been a more idiotic U.S. intervention in history? [00:02:40] Supporters of this proxy war may celebrate more aid to Ukraine, but the reality is that it is in no way aid to Ukraine. [00:02:50] That's not how the system works. [00:02:52] It is money created out of thin air by the Fed and appropriated by Congress to be spent propping up the politically connected military-industrial complex. [00:03:04] It's a big check written by Middle America to rich people who run Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. [00:03:13] Americans watch their budget being stretched to the limit while the Beltway fat cats loosen their belts to continue enjoying the gravy train. [00:03:23] Bloomberg reported earlier this summer that inflation is costing the average American household more than $5,200 this year. [00:03:32] Inflation is a tax on middle-class and poor Americans. [00:03:37] The wealthy, like those who run Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, always gets the new money first before prices go up. [00:03:47] The rest of us watch as the dollar buys less and less. [00:03:51] As Washington salivates over fighting Russia in Ukraine, the rest of America feels like we're becoming Zimbabwe. [00:04:01] How long until it takes a trillion dollars for a loaf of bread? [00:04:05] Will there be a run on wheelbarrows? [00:04:08] There's a way out. [00:04:10] It's called non-interventionism. [00:04:13] The war in Ukraine was caused by the U.S. regime change in 2014 and the neocon insistence that Ukraine join NATO. [00:04:24] The State Department and CIA thought it was a great victory to overthrow the elected government. [00:04:31] But meanwhile, the rest of us get the bill. [00:04:35] No NATO and not one more penny for Ukraine.
