Hello everybody and thank you for tuning into the weekly report.

A New Year's resolution worth keeping.

In the closing days of 2023, the Biden administration

once again announced a large military aid package

for Ukraine this time a mere quarter of a billion dollars. Without a new authorization of funds from Congress it is said to be

the last bit of money left over from the more than $100 billion already

authorized by Congress for the proxy war with Russia through Ukraine.

President Biden's request for an additional $100 billion to spread around Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan was rejected by a

Congress eager for its winter break and with each passing day it looks like it's going to be harder to push it through.

Poll after poll shows that Americans are increasingly opposed to more of their money being spent on Neocon's lost cause war to overthrow

Putin in Russia. For example, a recent Fox News poll revealed that more than 60% of Republican voters do not want any more money sent to Ukraine.

As we enter an election year, it's probably safe to predict that Republican candidates

will be wary of crossing the wishes of the clear majority of voters.

That is why the Biden administration has been desperately trying to reframe its

request for more Ukraine war money as anything but a request for more Ukraine war money.

For example, they even brought back

the old discredited domino theory

used to justify US actions in the Vietnam War.

If we don't stop Putin and Ukraine, Biden said in December,

then he will keep going into Western Europe

where we will be forced to fight him there.
