WH Gaslights and Lies

“Ukraine has received only 10% of the aid package approved by the U.S. Congress in 2024,” Zelensky said.

This has been a constant throughout the war. The Congress votes for aid, but the WH simply doesn’t send it. Remember all the bleating about how it was Republicans in Congress who were preventing aid from passing? Well, it was passed months and months ago but the WH is simply refusing to follow what the Congress mandated. No matter how you feel about foreign aid, this is an issue of the executive branch arrogating to itself the powers of the legislature. It’s exactly how it was during Obama.

We keep hearing about the threats to our democracy. And here’s the executive branch refusing to execute what the legislature mandated. What kind of a democracy is it? Why even have different branches of power?

In the same talk, Zelensky told about the confidential information he provided to the WH that was immediately leaked to NYTimes.

The Biden-Harris administration has been absolutely awful to Ukraine. It would be much better to say honestly, “Sorry, no aid, not our problem, figure it out yourselves, bye.” But to promise aid, use it to cudgel your domestic opponents, create false hopes, and then quietly do the exact opposite is immoral and low.

I’m just so annoyed by people who tell me I should vote for Harris because of Ukraine. It’s been almost three years. There are daily air raides. Daily deaths. And the Biden-Harris administration is gaslighting, betraying, lying, and offering succor to the enemy.

It’s us, Americans, that the WH is gaslighting and betraying, too. We are told absolute lies by them about Ukraine, as about everything else. They are spitting into the soul of every American who trusted them on this issue.

  1. What’s scary to me is the implication that since the WH is not sending aid to Ukraine, they must be supporting Russia, which is very bad news…..

    1. There’s no other conclusion we can draw. The Ukrainian counteroffensive of 2023 was sabotaged by the WH by handing over the entire plan of the counteroffensive to Russia. Only a small percentage of the aid ever reaches Ukraine. The reality of this administration is the exact opposite of its rhetoric. It’s being said very openly in Ukraine that Biden’s WH is Russia’s ally.

      1. “handing over the entire plan of the counteroffensive to Russia”

        Any suspects on who? I have the idea Jake Sullivan has been singing like a canary to the russians so he can do things like his exchange where he teared up over useless russian ‘opposition’ figures who immediately called for an end to sanctions…

        1. Sullivan has definitely been a devoted poodle of the Russians. But there’s no reason to believe he’s not doing exactly what this administration wants him to do.
