“We Don’t Owe You a Single Cent, You B*stards!” – Trump Demands a Reckoning, Ukraine Not Taking It Well


Last Saturday, President Trump put it bluntly — he wants accountability for the $350 Billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine.

He also pointed out that while the $50 Billion provided to Ukraine from Europe was given as a loan to be repaid…

Not so with the $350 Billion President Trump says is the “real number” from the United States — those funds were just gifted freely, without accountability and without any plan for repayment.  (Thanks, Biden.)

Now, President Trump is demanding both; accountability and repayment in some form.

Here’s a clip of his comments from last Saturday, setting the stage for the U.S. taking a different direction in regards to Ukraine:

Here’s the full transcript of that exchange between a reporter and President Trump:

Reporter: Would you support Zelinsky’s seeding territory or exchanging territory in any agreement to end the war?

President Trump: Well, he’s going to have to do what he has to do, but his poll numbers aren’t particularly great, to put it mildly. He’s got a country where it’s been savaged and attacked, and he’s got an army that’s been very, very brave, actually, despite the fact that we’ve given him, in my opinion, $350 billion. That’s what the number is. You don’t hear that number. And Europe has given, in my opinion, $100 billion. And they’ve done it in the form of a loan.

And I have a Secretary of Treasury right now who’s actually quite brave. He’s over in Ukraine on a train, and there’s a lot of things happening around that train that aren’t so good. And he’s going there to get a document done where we’re going to be assured that we’re going to, in some form, get this money back because we’re putting up far more money than Europe.

And Europe is in far more danger than we are. We have an ocean in between. Europe has nothing in between. You know what they have in between? They have Ukraine in between. So as you know, Europe is putting up money, and they’re getting it in the form of a loan.

And the United States, under Biden, didn’t do loans. They just handed money. Every time somebody walked in from Ukraine, they just handed them money foolishly. This should have never happened. It should have never started. And once it did, other things should have happened. Other things should have taken place. So we’re getting security on our money. We’re going to have it secured by… They have raw earth, and they have oil and gas, and they have a lot of other things. And we’re asking for security on our money. So does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine? They’ve agreed to it. Ukraine has agreed to it.

Reporter: Does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine?

President Trump: No, we are, but we want it secured, and the money is going to be secured…

Ukraine isn’t taking the news of accountability, or the demand for securing some guarantee of repayment, very well.

One video in particular has started making the rounds on social media showing a Ukrainian man scoffing at the idea that the Ukrainians owe America anything at all.

Not exactly the epitome of “thankful”.  More like UNGRATEFUL, if you ask me.

And while Ukrainians from the leadership on down balk at the prospect of giving an accounting of American dollars poured into the war effort…

The Trump administration is nearing a peace deal that would stop hostilities, while both Ukraine and Europe seem to be dead set against ending the war.

Vice President Vance said today that we are “on the cusp of peace in Europe”, as he defended President Trump’s decision to talk to the Russians without Ukraine present, according to a report in the New York Post:

“I really believe that we’re on the cusp of peace in Europe for the first time in three years, because we have leadership from the Oval Office, and we haven’t had it in four years in this country,” Vance said Thursday in his speech at CPAC.

Vance didn’t mention Zelensky by name, but defended Trump’s choice to hold US talks with Russian officials in Saudi Arabia without a Ukrainian presence.

“How are you going to end the war unless you’re talking to Russia? You’ve got to talk to everybody involved in the fighting if you actually want to bring the come close,” he said.

Vance said Europe has benefited from US aid to Ukraine — but has not shown gratitude — and that the war has stressed American stockpiles.

“The conflict has placed — and continues to place — stress on tools of American statecraft, from military stockpiles to sanctions (and so much else). We believe the continued conflict is bad for Russia, bad for Ukraine, and bad for Europe. But most importantly, it is bad for the United States,” he wrote.

President Trump isn’t backing away from calling for accountability, or his intention to recoup some of what the United States gave to Ukraine.

In fact, he is doubling down.

Not only did President Trump continue to say he is planning on doing something about the money that Zelensky says is missing…

But yesterday on board Air Force One, he told reporters that it was time to have elections in Ukraine.

And that’s after flat out calling Zelensky a “dictator” a few days ago.  (What else do you call a guy who has a terrible approval rating, but cancels elections and retains his hold on political power?)

Here’s the clip on board Air Force One just yesterday:

President Trump seems to be driving a straightforward approach to Ukraine — rather than the softball approach of the Biden Admin that simply gave Ukraine whatever it wanted, whenever it wanted.

The result is that Zelensky is increasingly frustrated with President Trump.

Zelensky pushed back, saying President Trump was in a “disinformation space”, even after President Trump plainly called him a “dictator”.

President Trump, holding that Zelensky has done a “terrible job”, nonetheless said he thinks he can still bring peace to the situation, according to a report by Fox News:

While Zelenskyy accused Trump of perpetuating Russian “disinformation” on Wednesday, Trump clapped back and labeled Zelenskyy a “dictator” who has failed his country.

“A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only ‘TRUMP,’ and the Trump Administration, can do,” Trump wrote in a social media post Wednesday.

“I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died.”

Trump’s comments build on statements he delivered Tuesday at his Florida Mar-a-Lago estate, where he said that Russia wasn’t the only one exerting pressure to force Ukraine to hold an election. One of Russia’s conditions for signing a peace deal includes Ukraine holding an election, nearly a year after Zelenskyy’s five-year term was slated to end.

But Zelenskyy has remained in his position leading Kyiv because the Ukrainian constitution bars holding elections under martial law. Ukraine has been under martial law since February 2022.

“I think I have the power to end this war, and I think it’s going very well. But today I heard, ‘Oh, we weren’t invited,'” Trump said Tuesday at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. “Well, you’ve been there for three years. You should have ended it three years (ago). You should have never started it. You could have made a deal.”

And as for the plans that President Trump said he is working on to delve into the “missing money” that Zelensky alluded to…

Charlie Kirk just posted on X that we should audit the money previously sent to Ukraine.

Specifically, he called on Elon Musk and DOGE to unleash their firepower on the issue.

Elon, true to form, replied with the simple, “Ok”.

While Zelensky has not publicly responded since President Trump called him a “dictator”, the word is he brought that on himself.

JD Vance, in an interview with the Daily Mail, said Zelensky’s comments about President Trump living in a “disinformation space” had angered President Trump.

And according to the previously referenced story in the New York Post, Vance said that everyone who knows the President knows that’s an “atrocious” way to deal with him:

Zelensky has not responded to Trump labeling him a “dictator,” but the Ukrainian leader did say the president was living in a Russian “disinformation space” after he accused Kyiv of starting the war with Moscow.

Vance revealed in an interview with the Daily Mail on Wednesday that Zelensky’s comments had ticked off the president, who doesn’t like “badmouthing.”

“The idea that Zelensky is going to change the president’s mind by badmouthing him in public media … everyone who knows the president will tell you that is an atrocious way to deal with this administration,” Vance told the outlet.

While I can understand the frustration of the Ukrainians, caught in a deadly struggle with Russia in which their very existence as a nation is in jeopardy…

The fact is President Trump is right.

The United States has contributed more to the Ukrainian cause than all of Europe combined, even though we are far removed from the conflict, and protect by vast oceans.

Whether they like it or not — whether the acting President of Ukraine likes it or not — the time for a solid accounting of the resources America has provided is here.

And as for those cancelled elections in Ukraine — it’s one thing to hold off on elections during an extreme crisis (as their constitution dictates).

But it is quite another thing to hold off on elections simply because your TRUE approval rating has plummeted.

I’m with President Trump.  It is time for a reckoning, for a repayment deal, and elections in Ukraine.

Or else, it’s time Ukraine — and Europe — fight its own war, alone.

Fair is fair… and this has not been fair by a long margin, thanks to President Biden.

But Biden isn’t President anymore (praise the Lord!).  And there is no reason President Trump should feel constrained when it comes to getting this Ukraine debacle on the right track — just as he is attempting to do.

DEVELOPING: President Trump Working To Get Our $350 Billion Back From Ukraine!

DEVELOPING: President Trump Working To Get Our $350 Billion Back From Ukraine!

I have been shouting about this from the rooftops for the past four years and finally we have someone listening!

Now that President Trump is back in office, he's looking into exactly what I've been asking about, which is why did we just GIVE all this money to Ukraine?

Why didn't we at least structure it as loans?

If we allegedly owe $35 trillion in debt to other people and other countries, why don't we start calling in some chips of our own?

It would be madness not to!

And now President Trump is doing just that.

Watch here:

TRANSCRIPT:

Reporter: Would you support Zelinsky’s seeding territory or exchanging territory in any agreement to end the war?

President Trump: Well, he’s going to have to do what he has to do, but his poll numbers aren’t particularly great, to put it mildly.

Reporter:  Does it mean you are not sending any more aid to Ukraine?

President Trump:  No, we are, but we want it secured, and the money is going to be secured..

I've been talking about this for a LONG time:

The One Thing About Ukraine Money NO ONE Is Talking About…

The One Thing About Ukraine Money NO ONE Is Talking About...

I've mentioned this a few times in passing, but I've never done a full article on it...

And I've never heard anyone else even raise the issue.

But it's going to be one of those things where once you see it, you can't ever unsee it.  Or perhaps more accurately in this case, once I point it out, you'll never be able to forget it.  And it will frame how you see all this "foreign aid".

I'm sure most of you reading this do not support the hundreds of billions of dollars we keep sending Ukraine, but I'm about to make it so much worse for you...

Very simply, it's this: Did you know that the money we are sending Ukraine is structured as pure GIFTS?

If that doesn't immediately blow you away, let me unpack that for you...

Of course they don't use the word "gift" they use the word "grants" because it sounds better but they both mean the same thing -- namely, that Ukraine never has to pay the money back.

Even the Left-Leaning ChatGPT admitted as much:

The financial aid the United States has been providing to Ukraine in recent years is a mix of both direct budgetary support and military assistance, rather than being structured as loans that need to be repaid. According to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. has provided billions in direct budgetary support to help Ukraine manage the acute budget deficit caused by the conflict, including funds to keep basic government services running and support for emergency responders. This assistance is designed to help the Government of Ukraine withstand economic, social, and political pressures and does not need to be repaid​​.

In addition to budgetary support, a significant portion of U.S. aid has been allocated to military and security assistance to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This includes funding for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which pays for training, weapons, and other military assistance, as well as funds to replenish U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine and for the Foreign Military Financing Program, enabling Ukraine to purchase new military equipment from the U.S​​.

Overall, the aid is part of the U.S.'s commitment to support Ukraine in the face of aggression, with the aim of ensuring the country's stability and security. The funding for humanitarian and economic aid is provided with the understanding that it is a grant to support Ukraine's immediate needs and long-term recovery, rather than a loan to be repaid.

I asked a second time just to confirm -- Here was my follow-up question: "So none of the money given by the USA to Ukraine ever needs to be paid back?"

Answer:

The financial assistance provided by the United States to Ukraine, especially in the context of the recent aggression, has largely been structured as grants rather than loans. This means that these funds, including direct budgetary support and military aid, do not need to be paid back by Ukraine. The aid is intended to help the country address its immediate needs, support its government functions, and bolster its defense capabilities in the face of external aggression.

For instance, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided substantial direct budgetary support to Ukraine, aimed at alleviating the country's budget deficit caused by the conflict and ensuring the continuity of essential government services. This kind of support is designed to be non-repayable and is given to help Ukraine withstand economic, social, and political pressures resulting from the conflict​​.

Moreover, the financial aid for military and security purposes, including funds allocated through the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and the Foreign Military Financing Program, is also provided as support that Ukraine is not required to repay. These funds are intended for Ukraine to purchase military equipment, receive training, and enhance its defense capabilities against aggression​​.

In summary, the financial aid from the U.S. to Ukraine in recent years, including both direct budgetary support and military assistance, is structured as grants that do not require repayment. This approach underscores the U.S. commitment to supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity, and resilience in the face of challenges.

Are you kidding me?

If it's still not knocking you off your chair, allow me to put it in a different context....

We've all heard about our National Debt, right?

How it's out of control?

Here's a picture for you from the US Debt Clock:

Yes, that would $34 TRILLION!

And here's how fast it has been growing recently (and only accelerating):

  1. 2024: $34+ trillion
  2. 2023: $32 trillion
  3. 2022: $30.9 trillion
  4. 2021: $28.4 trillion
  5. 2020: $26.9 trillion
  6. 2019: $22.7 trillion

Why do we have that National Debt?

We all took high school government / civics class, right?

It was debt we borrowed as a nation to finance things like the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the War of 1812, and so on!

When we needed to finance a war, we BORROWED the money, and we're still paying it back hundreds of years later in 2024!

So our children are saddled with debt for centuries and it's only growing and becoming more and more impossible to pay back, and what do we do?

Do we take HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars and try to pay it down?

Nah.

It would be much wiser to just give that money away to Ukraine!!

Folks, this is treason -- point blank, no other way to say it.

Even if you assume we want to help Ukraine (which I do not agree with that premise) but even so if that were the case, it should be structured like any other business transaction -- a repayable loan!  Just like we had to do!

Our politicians have violated their oaths of office and shown allegiance to other countries (Ukraine and Israel) far above any allegiance to the United States.

No one would ever in their right minds do this!

Unless....

Unless it was all one big money-laundering operation?

In that case it makes perfect sense:

FTX Money Laundering Scheme To Ukraine CONFIRMED?

Buckle up folks!

I have a MAJOR update on a story we first brought you back in the Fall of 2022.

"Fall" is appropriate because that's when crypto firm FTX had its massive fall from grace.

And now just this week it looks like we may have confirmation that our reporting back in 2022 was 100% accurate.

Imagine that.

Let me back up for just a minute in case we have people who are new to this story or who need a refresher.

I'll publish our full reporting from 2022 down below but here's the quick recap...

This image explains it perfectly:

You pay taxes...

Taxes out the ears!

Then the US Government takes your tax dollars and sends billions upon billions over to Ukraine...

Ukraine then invested a big chunk of that money in FTX (that's called money laundering)...

FTX donates huge amounts back to the Democrat party...

The Democrats then use that money to buy, influence and steal elections.

What a great system!

And if you think that's just crazy Noah coming up with a crazy conspiracy theory, it's not.

Here is Elon Musk exposing it too:

NOW does it make sense why billions of your tax dollars are going to Ukraine every month?

You didn't honestly think we were just giving it all away, did you?

Of course not!

It's a complex money laundering operation!

Ok, now here's the update.

Prepare to have your mind blown.

This is truly "hidden in plain sight".

So we start here with the understanding that after FTX collapsed it owed customers about $8.7 BILLION:

Ok, you with me so far?

FTX is in the hole $8.7 BILLY.

But remember, FTX was a key player in the money laundering operation, so they have to be made whole.

Then this happens:

Remember that from last week?

The Pentagon "accidentally" sent Ukraine $6.2 billion dollars!

So, uh, when you accidentally send $6.2 billy, do you call and get a refund or something?

Of course that's an EXTRA $6.2 billion on top of the billions we are sending weekly:

Really gotta hate those "accounting errors" don't you?

Is anyone REALLY that bad at their job that they "accidentally" send $6.2 billion where they aren't supposed to?

Not even people in Government are that inept.

Folks, it's CORRUPTION, not "mistakes".

Ok, now stay with me because here's the final piece...

To recap:

FTX needs $8.7 Billion...

$6.2 Billion "accidentally" gets sent to the wrong place...

Now here it is:

FTX suddenly "recovers" $7 billion!

Wow, it's a miracle!

Just how DUMB do they think we are?

You kidding me with this?

We see right through it, and so do others:

IT'S MONEY LAUNDERING FOLKS!

Can't get much more clear than this!

Are you awake?

Are you paying attention?

They are laughing at you and stealing BILLIONS of your dollars as they do it!

Oh, and a TON of politicians are caught in the middle too.

You didn't think this story went away did you?

I believe when all of this is exposed it will be a major factor in clearing out Washington.

Take a look:

MAJOR Republican RINOs Caught In FTX Donation Scandal...

We're going to name names...

If you've been following this Sam Bankman-Fried / FTX scandal, you know this is big.

In fact, it's looking like Biden, Ukraine, Crypto and Pedos....are all possibly connected.

More on that at the end of this article -- jump down there first if you don't know anything about this story and need to get caught up to speed first.

We already knew Biden and many top Dems were ensnarled in this thing, and the crooked MSM is doing everything they can to give them cover.

But here's what's also been ignored: it's not just the Democrats.

I've been telling you for 7 years now, it's NEVER been about Republican vs. Democrat.

That's a fake dichotomy designed to keep you distracted.

R's and D's are mostly on the same team.

In fact, I estimate there are maybe 10-20 honest people left in the entire D.C. system.

One is Trump.

Another is Kari Lake.

And there are probably no more than 20 others -- if that many.

Everyone else, whether they've got an (R) or a (D) in front of their name is all crooked and sold out.

So sad to see what they've done to our country.

Let's get into the details...

According to Bloomberg, McConnell took $1 million:

From Bloomberg, here's more:

FTX US, a part of Sam Bankman-Fried’s crypto empire that catered to American customers, contributed to a super-PAC fighting for control of the Senate in the midterm election just days before the company’s collapse.

The Senate Leadership Fund, which is aligned with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and was the top spender in the 2022 midterms, received the $1 million donation on Oct. 27, according to its most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission. Only a couple of weeks later, more than a 100 FTX-related companies, including the US arm, filed for bankruptcy, and Bankman-Fried resigned as head of the corporate group.

The contributor listed on the FEC donation report is West Realm Shires Services Inc. and FTX US is its commercial name.

The Senate Leadership Fund did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The super-PAC spent $239 million in the midterms on behalf of Republican candidates, according to OpenSecrets, which tracks money in politics.
