Why is it that the same Democrats going apopleptic about every dime W spent in Iraq are smiling about billionsin direct cash payments to Ukraine?

I've been wondering about this for a while now but as the billions of taxpayer dollars keep adding up during a recession with so many domestic problems, and especially after the FTX money laundering scandal, I'd be interested to hear what other people think.

Because it was Haliburton and other Republican backed contractors that made all the profit from Iraq.

Whereas it's mostly Democrat backed contractors that are making a profit from the Ukraine war.

That's remarkably fair minded and sensible. Well done.

It’s a lot more fun if a lot of the billions being spent find their way to your political party and your friends and children.

Perhaps via a zero oversight crypto currency scheme?

At this point the elites don’t even need to hide it. They have a servile press and social media platforms they meet with the Feds to determine how to suppress opposition and push propaganda.

It's almost like the original Nazis did the same thing their national socialist political descendants are doing regarding government interference and propagandizing the media.

Same reason Republicans funneled billions into the Iraq War but criticize the spending in Ukraine…….. party politics. Politicians will back anything that serves the interests of the party and criticize when the other side does the same.

The Dems get the backhander this time
