“Tonight on 13 minutes” 😂
this isnt the only story they run u know.....
If there a government shutdown think the US government will be as generous to its own people?
Nope. Republicans made that clear. We don’t have help for freeloaders. The wealthy get all the credit.
The US government already spends hundreds of times the amount of Ukraine aid on its own people, what are you on about?
☠️
Money is needed for Ukraine. For you V r running in deficit.
@@davolpatel a deficit of what?
Yeah I need my money back
I never thought I'd see 60 Minutes gas-lighting for the Military Industrial Complex. But here we are...
absolutely. great comment
60 Minutes was always mainstream media propaganda.
look up what gas lighting means
Wait so the U.S. is paying for seeds to help Ukraine grow food, and Ukraine just struck a deal sending 100 million tons of corn to China? Gotta love global trade.
So? What do you think should happen? Do you want them to send the corn to the US? US probably doesn't need the corn. US corn growers would get upset as well.
Plus, it's a good idea for Ukraine to have relations with China.
@@terri6854 I absolutely think the U. S. Has dins on ANYTHING that place grows for the next decade... 3 trillion tax dollars backs me up.
it's because nobody wants to buy the grain because it's undercutting the grain market in price which can have pretty bad economic consequences, so i don't mind the fact that they can sell it to China, glad they can sell it to someone, too bad we can't take it at those prices but that's just how it is right now
@@Ekstrax Holy Cow... I appreciate your insight, but (the grain market)? Are we kidding? Kids starving in Ethiopia, Ukraine hospitals being struck by drones and we're worried about the price of grain? We deserve exactly what we get.
@joshuaedwards3322 Look at the WHOLE picture. The reason Ukraine can't ship its grain to Ethiopia and other African countries right now is because Russia invaded it, and Russia keeps bombing cargo ships and grain silos.
The price of grain is important to the people of Ukraine because that money keeps its economy going, and later they'll need it to rebuild its economy back after the war, including rebuilding hospitals and schools. Maintaining commerce with China benefits both Ukraine and the U.S. The more grain China buys from Ukraine (and indirectly from U.S), the less grain it buys from Russia.
How about subsidies our us homeless instead of Ukraine
The Bradley was built between 1980 and 1995. US has 4,500 upgraded versions in service but they are still old. Another 2,000 are in US storage. Bradley’s are long overdue for replacement. We will be replacing and scraping many. The Army many place a value of $2M on each of them but the cost to the US taxpayer is really just what it takes to clean them up and ship them. Although we probably just took a small number out of storage in Europe somewhere.
The older models are ending up in african and asian allies. I suspect our government is already unloading those early 80s models.
And all this is true in the money for the new tanks well that goes to the military-industrial complex and the Americans it employs
@@ivak91026 that's exactly why we aren't given im leopards we don't make them we get the money for the ones that we make Americans make the money on the ones that Americans replace
If we have 2,000 in storage than I suggest we send 1,000 to Ukraine. Think of the lives they would save. Someone's daddy can come home to them.
im a 63M and im a PRO at Bradleys LOL, i can fix, service, and take apart the damn thing given the CORRECT tools and i hope they never DIE lol, i love them!!!!!!!!!!
There are a lot of good people , with good morals, and good points in comments. Unfortunately, we have evil, corrupt, morons running the country. I'm sick of working hard to pay for stupid things the govt thinks we are dumb.
Amen brother
Amen 🙏🏻
Factss
Yep. They don’t even think we have found them out. They just keep pushing their socialist oligarchs agenda. Obama calls it “the vision”. Of course he is at the top.
We aint getting a dime of that money back...😅
This is 5 % of our annual military appropriations. We won’t get the money back either way, unless you are part of the military industry. We spend way to much on our military in general, at least some of the excessive spending is now going to a better cause.
You got that right!@@Ethan.s..
You can’t get rid of corruption in governments, the government officials would have to agree to leave office and once they receive millions in corrupt money they’ll never give it up it’s too lucrative. I believe every politician goes in with good intentions but becoming corrupt is too easy and common.
1000%
I agree with you and I think many politicians going with good intentions but I've noticed over the past five to eight years more and more cultural marxists running for district attorney positions simply to go after people like Donald Trump and that's what they based their whole entire campaign on and they stupidly get elected because of haters.. these people are dumb and dirty from the beginning and they just want to make a name for themselves in the hopes of running for attorney general one day or perhaps governor and Letitia James in New York it's a good example.. Fanni Willis in Atlanta Georgia is another. When Mitch McConnell ran for Senate just like Chuck Schumer he had good intentions but once they are in office 20 years they are corrupt as hell.. that's why we need term limits for legislators and senators should serve no more than eighteen years or three terms &: House of Representatives should serve no more than five or six terms which is still ten or twelve years and more than the president. That just prevents them from getting into more corrupt politics.
I'm a republican who has voted for about three Democrats in my life but I won't ever vote for another.. I'm not saying I like all Republicans but I certainly do not at all, and I would much rather people like Mitch McConnell Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins Lisa murkowski and several others to retire . They are old and they're corrupt and they're better friends with Joe Biden and the Communists Democrat socialist in our country than they are there only Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives. These old outlived Republican senators don't want to work with other senators like Ted Cruz grandpa or Marco Rubio to cut down in the women 8 government spending- & waste!!
You're exactly right and all their doing here in America and the Biden administration, including the establishment Republicans, IS attempting to kick Russia out of Ukraine even though 4 Eastern Ukrainian provinces better to be part of Russia. Why?? It's because they've been ukrainians since 1991 and consider themselves ukrainians before Ukrainian military and government after the orange revolution in 2014 started bombing them out of sheer hatred because they speak Russian, Putin tolerated that crap as long as he could and the more NATO talked about bringing Ukraine into NATO Putin sees that as a threat because Ukraine is right on his border and he's just protecting the Russian people and the Russian state. I wish our president here in America would kick the Chinese Communist party out of Cuba and out of South America but that will never happen because Joe Biden is in the Chinese Communist party's pockets. His family has been in business with them on and off for god-knows-how-long. I have actually seen emails and text messages which link Between Tony Bobulinski and Hunter. Tony asked hunter in a text message "who's the big guy?' & Hunter's reply "oh my dad".. damn!
Intelligence has totally overlooked that and has done so for years during the Obama administration and during the Trump administration.
Trump's attorney general BARR, wouldn't do anything. All they want to do here in America with the government and their American oligarch is take out the oligarchs in Ukraine and replace them with American oligarchy like BlackRock & vanguard oh and that includes the Clinton Foundation. Yes! Our media in America uses the word oligarchy to be bad, which it is, but it's a privately-owned wealthy business. The government put laws in place on companies like Ford and the vanderbilts & the Morgans etc etc.. post post World War 2 hour seen government has been getting big subsidies to these companies in addition to Big tech. big track is being used as a censorship left arm of the government except for Twitter because Elon Musk bought it but before then it was locked arm-in-arm with the federal democratic government. They hated Donald Trump and any conservatives or moderate conservative. They hated anybody that was a progressive who had a different idea. People would be banned off of Twitter.. I've never been big on the social media but prefer TH-cam and even TH-cam is shadowbanned. Post-world War and the more technological our country became here in America these Big Rich companies have gotten subsidies and they are the American oligarchy and they contribute and donate more money to elections and especially the Democrat party more than anything. Sad but true..
it's really easy money
You're absolutely right. Look at Clinton's the Obamas and now the Bidens. They have never own a business in their lives and now millionaires. Bush family were millionaires before politicians and so with Donald Trump. I'm not saying they're not corrupt that's why I agree with you that all politicians goes in to become rich but at least Bush and Trump.are not obvious in the eyes of the people.
This needs to stop.
the U.S Govt must spent the Taxpayers Money for the American Homeless Nationwide rather than Ukraine War!
Why not both? US government provided a far larger proportion of GDP as aid to Republic of China against Japan and UK against Germany in WW2 when the US was barely recovering from the deepest economic slump in its history, the Great Depression.
That investment into security and stability across the world created the bedrock of post war American prosperity.
@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022 you're saying why not both? no the real question is why not the homeless in America First why does it have to be a question after almost 2 years in Ukraine?
@@chinguunerdenebadrakh7022Spoken like a true non tax payer.
@@robertedmond6596 This is the funniest comment. The only isolationist people are people with no understanding of economy, geopolitics, or history. Usually they do not contribute a lot to society.
This is just a Hollywood movie clip... Things are different in the real sense..
Why do they never mention that most of the money that “goes to Ukraine” is spent here in America on our military industrial complex?
Shhhhhh 😂😂😂😂 they hate the truth
It's still tax payers money being spent for other country that might not have an outcome America is hoping for. America is in trouble financially and nobody can't deny that and for us to write a blank check is unsustainable. We're $33 trillion in National Debt were paying just interests rates as of now. Who's going to pay for all this outrageous spending?
It’s not mentioned because the corporate press is partially funded BY the same military industrial
complex.
Who will hold the corporate press accountable?
That amount of money came out of tax payers money. It really doesn't matter what is for, In this case it's going to the already rich Americans. So that's okay with you?
Citation needed.
All mighty God provide peace and normalcy for Ukraine and Russia.
I thought thev report was about checking on the ground accountability systems and usage of military equipment, and it looks very much like pro-ukranian propaganda.
Before I even watched it beyond the first commercial break, if you want to know where the money being spent on Ukraine is going look at the American military industrial complex. Then manufacture a lot of the products that we send to Ukraine. The money never leaves America. How much is this money actually leaves America is a good question. I hope I'm going to find out the answer today
I wish this was true. Does make perfect common sense right? Check the stock charts, Lockheed, Martin and Raytheon are probably both down 10% since the start of the war 18 months ago. It makes no sense but it is the cold hard truth. I'm certain there's embezzlement just like you, but it's not through the military industrial complex.
Personally, I think we are just depleting our supply and not reordering. Maybe that's the plan....
@handsom3 Stupid opinion, I don't think you quite understand how vast the military supply is, we easily have enough equipment to supply Ukraine for decades, not that it would last long.
@@Dankatron69Ukraine has been around centuries longer than either Russia or us lol and unlike Russia, combat veterans are running to help defend Ukraine whereas millions of able bodied Russian men have the kremlin the middle finger and left. Ukraine will endure. It's up to Putin to realize he's miscalculated but until then, it's up to NATO and allies how many Ukrainians and foreign legion fighters sacrifice and how long it takes
@@sempressfi Hello. The idea of a separate Ukrainian nation was born in the 19th century within the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires. This is a new phenomenon.
Open the borders for Ukrainian men and let's see how many of them will remain. It seems to me that a lot of them will flee to Europe
Go watch the same story on the Australian 60 minutes...it actually tracks the funds.
@@davidj4304That's not a lie? That's just different ways of representing data.
An amazing video, I do agree, we can not stop aide, but to call out Ukraine on corruption when an ex-president is still walking around free and running for office again facing 91 felonies in 4 separate indictments is a little ridiculous. The Biden administration needs to do a better job of communication no doubt, but it’s MAGA who have aligned themselves with Trump/Putin and is getting worse by the day. MAGA is today’s Republican Party. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
They need those F-16’s since 2/24/22, let’s go
As an American I didn’t support Iraq or Afghanistan wars and I don’t support Ukraine either I hate that they take my hard earned money and use it to fund war
How is it ''funding war''? It is funding Ukraine, and holding back crazy Putin from attacking USA
Bright side this money is actually having an effect, Russia's taking heavy loses monthly.
I'm european and i agree with you
Lol this money isn't free it's an investment
There will be a return on this although not sure if tax payers will feel the positives
Ye the Afghan and Iraq wars were sorta useless, but I doubt you'd want to fight a war with Russia 30 years from now or have Ur children/nephews do it
Bro we don’t want this war. Stop trying to sell it to us.
Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.
While we're at it we should let China invade Taiwan as well
Not like the US has obligations with these countries after all
And Americans still still suffering from homelessness and low health care
Lindsey graham wants to cut social security but give Ukraine a blank check !!!
Did you miss the video? It isn’t at a blank check. Watch the video.
How about calling in the French war loans? France owes more than a trillion and hasn’t paid a penny since 1931. Why do we let the French take US taxpayers for a ride?
Good question.
did not know that.
слава україні! героям слава!
You meant 200 billions
Meanwhile in the U.S. the streets are filled with people in despair, addiction, in big need of the same billions of dollars used for non-military investments.
Those people can walk into an establishment and get free therapy be it mental, physical, drug. Those people can pick themselves up and do what's right for themselves. We really need to stop making it an our problem
5% of US military budget to completely destroy Russia is a pretty good deal if you ask me.
The US population should question where the other 95% is going.
But it didn’t happen
Let’s look at 60 minutes reports that came out during the Iraq war,or at the beginning of Afghanistan. We’ll see in 5 years wether this was just another ad for the war complex
Another day Another Russian Bot Flood in the comments....Yawns
Yes, everyone who doesn't want their tax dollars going to a country as corrupt as Ukraine are all Putin stooges. Give me a break.

*Funny I recall this same word "investment" being used to describe another country back in the 1980's ..............................AFGHANISTAN how did that turn out ???*
It's safe to say that Ukraine is a completely different animal than Afghanistan.
@@major_kukri2430 Except it isn't.
Biden won't say what victory looks like.
The Soviet Union was at war in Afghanistan from 1979 - 1989, the CIA helped arm the mujahedeen and bring quality cocaine to the states. It helped expedite the Soviets loss and led to their total collapse. Resulting in Ukraine (among others) return to being a sovereign nation.
All i see is the hypocrisy compared to the iraq war
Do you think Russia is looking for weapons of mass destruction? 🤔no way🤯
I'm glad we are paying for sweatshirts businesses in Ukraine to keep it going, but me, as a blue collar american business owner I will never expect the government to help my business stay open and to keep the Americans employees with a their job.
The US government just helped a unprecedented # of small US businesses during the pandemic.
@@Ethan.s..Well said. And it’s easy to make that claim when you’re not in the middle of war zone. What was also not said in the interview is that some of these small businesses are farms that are critical to feeding the region and to the war effort.
The 47th was pulled from combat today because of heavy losses. This war is a meat grinder.
Full of lies. They pulled them from frontline because their job is complete that was to break the Russian defensive lines. They are going to have some rest and recharge for the final push( Melitopol). Let’s other brigades drive to Tokmak

But Russia invaded Ukraine. Don't really know what your point is pointing out the other invasions the US has done or has allegedly done. So, by your Ruskie logic, it's OK for you to invade your neighbor because the US has done it to other countries? Enjoy sending your troops to a meat grinder, then.
What about us with our tax money?
just follow the money and it all makes sense
The comments in this thread are wild. A bunch of people who haven’t taken Econ classes and regurgitate the same half-baked ideas they’ve heard without understanding any of it.
So what's so bad if the aid is spent here then shipped to Ukraine?

I have no problem with Ukraine getting aid but I find it ridiculous that we would support small businesses in Ukraine and prop up its economy but Americans in the us don't get the same treatment.

Thats nothing like scouts and or paintball games, there's like mobile tanks, armories, soldiers, bases, occasional fighter jets and war planes. Not too many bombs, a few war ships.
Without blowing up the page I just want to see food and medicine going out to the rural areas of Ukraine.. this is nice to have a video of a food market in a town or City but I want to see something in the more rural areas where people are poor & elderly.
They won't show you that, it's only going to show the good stuff. You won't see the warcrimes the Ukranian soldiers are doing to the conscripted soldiers that don't really care to be there (the Russian military is stupidly weird, most of them are forced). This is literally, Afghanistan 3.0 (4.0? idk now), just another proxy war in the ongoing Cold War we pretend ended. You'll never see the rural areas, the true horror of this conflict on here, just the "the US government is tottaly helping Ukraine, and we're tottaly not getting anything out of it."
In summation.... This is just a stick wagging competition to drain both the US and Russians resources, while China sits there getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
@@OB.x I agree.
War is never a great thing, but it becomes inevitable when the leader chooses to go to war.

Did you just say 70 billion ? We spent over 100+ billion
Imagine how much Russia alone spends in weapons considering how much US and EU has spend on their part and UKraine firing very low artillery daily as compared to their enemy.We can say by the records Russia is much more powerful than they think since it’s in war for over years with the whole of NATO and it’s still shelling more artillery than UKraine
Since 2014, Putin has been conducting a cover operation. there is information about this in the Russian-language segment of the Internet about how Putin misled the West and at the same time carried out reforms of law enforcement agencies and modernization of the army
They are not shelling that much anymore, Ukraine has now more combat power and that can be simply seeing in the map. However, I'd say Russia is strong, but deff, not even close to the Russia we were used to in video videogames or movies. And compared to United States, they are a joke, let alone fighting all the countries of Nato at once when they can't beat Ukraine.
Russia is working at full capacity while NATO is throwing chump change to Ukraine. There's one big advantage that NATO money has over russian money, NATO money never runs out.

am proud of Ukraine, it has become the better Afrika. slava ukraine
How much has your country gave?@@sergejadam8860
Americans seem to look at this war as if it was a hollywood movie..
Actually you not really giving the money to Ukraine but to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. And since most your political class owns shares in these companies, they will always pass bill just to pay themselves, not because they care about Ukraine. War is profitable.
Some clear differences between this war and Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan that people like to hold up as examples of why we shouldn't support Ukraine:
-US personnel are not being asked to fight and die in this conflict
-This isn't an asymmetrical fight or guerilla style campaign where we get bogged down
-Ukraine has a national identity, not a tribal one. The way they think of their nation is much closer to how we define it then the average Afghan or Iraqi
-We weren't dragged into this war under a false pretense unlike Iraq or Vietnam
-The Ukrainians actually want to fight and have proven themselves to be competent in mastering new and different weapons.
-Allowing Ukraine to fall would affect us economically and socially FAR more than if we kept providing funding for them to succeed. The refugee crisis would spread across Europe, further damaging global markets. Russia would be emboldened to launch more wars of conquest. The very fabric of the EU would disintegrate. Like it or not, our economies are linked and if you think you are paying a log for gas amd food and housing now just wait until the EU collapses and China invades Taiwan and other dictators now feel emboldened to attack their neighbors.
Best comment in this thread, so far.
Not on my expense!
Yes... ok for how long wise guy? This war will not end soon....
We absolutely were dragged to this under false pretenses
And we are not helping them. We’re making sure they are fighting for years
We’re enabling the death of an entire generation so we can profit off of it.
And we’re not directly involved- but we absolutely will be

60 minutes of propaganda to keep wasting out taxes
Thank you 60 minutes
Looks like Transparency international is dead.
Can’t they print their own money?
You ever heard of inflation 😂
We should print counterfeit rubles and overwhelm russias economy even further.
$115BN and counting global package according to IMF. 62% from the US. Ukraine GDP was 161 BN US dollars in 2022, according to official data from the World Bank. US Congress with concerns and questions should hold hearings to ascertain more clearly what is in the aid packages and the audited impact.
I'm pretty sure the DoD knows what's sent but I understand what you're saying.
Every aid package has the supplies listed publicly, where's the confusion?
That's still some 0.3% of US GDP
The actual amount is supposedly a trillion dollars that was stolen from the American tax payer and sent to Ukraine.

Finally the US pumping money into a very competent government and military, where the munitions and money are well used and allocated unlike those regimes we supported and aided like South Vietnam, Afghanistan and others, which was completely waste of time and money, also American lives.
Sorry, this present war in Ukraine is a waste of time and money and human lives and it has a very bad impact on the environment
You might want to look more into ukrain and its current government and the information coming out of Ukraine in the 5-7 years leading up to the war. Far right media funding moder nazis and putting out plenty racist properganda. They even go as far as evacuating wite people and leaving coloured people to face the music
Just look at the vides can you see any coloured people, they are in the country .
Sorry to burst your bubble but lots of money and weapons are being "misplaced" now some Mexican cartels have US made rocket launchers.
@@giselapfeifer4666 Okay, and who's fault is it for starting the war by driving tanks into a neighboring country?
