I donÂ’t even know what you are arguing about at this point. Your original post said the money we gave was a money laundering scheme and a scam. ThatÂ’s been refuted but now youÂ’ve moved on to the next thing. Later lou.
    Try not to act like a cornered animal. It's a pretty simple question: why is Zelensky accusing America of corruption?
    When they say, “We must protect our democracy,” switch the word “democracy” to “bureaucracy”, and it will all make sense.

    Why are you posting links from an anonymous content creator on x with conspiracy theories and trying to push it as fact? I’ve provided evidence on where that money is. Done my part, bud. It’s now time for you to admit that what you posted from x is garbage with zero evidence. I could find a post from a social content creator on x saying the world is flat, and that it’s all a government conspiracy with zero facts to back it up. Then I could find a video on youtube substantiating it.

    Anyways, admit that’s exactly what you did, and then maybe we can opine on zelensky’s motives since neither of us know. Unless of course you know him, personally?

    20 MILLION for a Sesame Street in Iraq
    56 MILLION to boost tourism in Egypt & Tunisia
    $40 MILLION to build schools in Jordan

    We do need to help countries but the last 4 years have gotten out of hand
    Nice, I have no issues with the schools, tourism and heck even the Sesame Street. I have zero clue what any of that costs, but considering the amount of money spent on other government initiatives, doesn’t sound crazy, honestly. I could do without the dei pet projects.

    I’m just skeptical of any politicians actually decreasing our wasteful spending . My cynicism tells me they just start spending it on their own pet projects or put it into Mr and Mrs pocket. Trump said he was going to do this last time, and he spent just like anyone else, even before Covid. I’ll believe it when I see it.

    I don’t have facts in front of me, Lou, and I’m certain that you don’t. I don’t know the situation that he was in, I don’t know who those interviewers are, and I sure as hell don’t know Russian. Do you? Again, I presented where the money was spent. Wasn’t that your biggest problem in the first place? Of course it was, because you sent a link from x with wild theories on it, and presented them as facts.

    you present wild theories as facts, with zero evidence. That’s your biggest issue.

    No, it wasn't. And I'm pretty sure you knew that as well. You and Paul love to play that game, but homey don't play it.

    Umm, the second interview was in English, and his thoughts were clearly spelled out. Nice try at more obfuscation, though.

    What's wrong Ville, are you afraid that answering this question might put you in a trap?

    Bud, if you’re not going to admit that you posted a link from x with wild theories with zero evidence, and that wasn’t a concern there is no reason to go on. Why’d you post it if that’s not your concern? Just post your video. We all saw it, so if you’re going to continue to gaslight, I’ll be on my way.

    I’ve now answered the question several times lou. Just because it’s not to your liking, doesn’t mean I haven’t answered. I don’t answer with “facts,” when there are only theories, I’m not you.


    Here’s more of the full story if you’d like to educate yourself. It’s really not as sinister as you’re trying to make it:

    So, is anything that's happened in the last few days ACTUALLY going to make a difference in our fentanyl (and overall opioid) epidemic?

    Hope so, but us Americans do love our opioids.

    I sent a link with more information, I've answered with that. In other words, there is more to the story than one interview, as is usually the case when you try a gotcha. I'm moving on.
