At a CLASSIFIED Briefing in the U.S. House of Representatives this week, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin actually threatened members of Congress with intentional war against Russia, if they don't continue funding Billions into Ukraine.
Austin informed members of Congress that if they don’t appropriate more money for Zelensky, “we’ll send your uncles, cousins, and sons to fight Russia.”
To many keen observers, it is hard to interpret Austin's remarks as anything but a threat. He seems (to me) to be clearly telling Congress: Pay the oligarchs or we’ll kill your kids.
Various sources in public are now trying to glaze-over what Austin said. They are claiming Austin ACTUALLY said, "if Russia wins in Ukraine, it will take Moldova, Georgia, and the Baltics, then it is VERY LIKELY we will have to send your Uncles, cousins, and sons to fight Russia."
Informed observers call this Bolderdash.
They confirm that Russia has made it explicitly clear they are the largest country on earth and have no desire at all to take more territory.
So the accusation that Russia will "take" any other country is unsupported by the facts, unsupported by the actual statements, and is simply a lie manufactured out of whole cloth to pry more money out of Congress.
BLACKMAIL?
What other observers say is that Ukraine is literally Blackmailing the Democrats in Congress.
Ukraine has all the "dirt" about the U.S. Bio-weapons labs set-up in Ukraine, and the money laundering that allegedly took place via FTX and their boss, Sam Bankman-Fried, now in jail convicted of various federal crimes.
It was alleged in public that as the US sent Billions in "aid" to Ukraine over the conflict with Russia, Bankman-Fried allegedly accepted money transactions from the Ukraine Central Bank, converted that cash into crypto currency, and used his Crypto-Exchange to funnel literally billions back to Democrat lawmakers and make donations to Democrat candidates in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
Ukraine knows where all that money went and if Ukraine starts snitching, a whole slew of Democrats go to prison for life, for allegedly skimming US Foreign Aid that went into Ukraine.
Blackmail can be a powerful thing.
The Democrats seem to know they cannot get funding for Ukraine without Republicans in the House agreeing. So . . . . abra-cadabra-poof, Lloyd Austin comes in talking to Republicans about having to send their uncles, cousins, and sons, to fight Russia.
It's so obvious what's going on, it's enough to make even the most ignorant person, sick to their stomach.
