Now that we’ve had a day to take stock of what happened in the U.S. midterms, I wanted to draw your attention to what impact that may have on Ukraine. Now I know some of you will be thinking, what rats difference does it make on Ukraine, well given that the democrats appear to have lost Congress, AKA “the House” it means that now Ukrainian money-laundering may come to an end.

Of course, this will not be welcome news to those that support the response of the Zelensky government to Russia’s offensive. Especially to those that were all in on the premise that no peace deal would be acceptable unless it included complete Russian surrender and an agreement to pay for Ukraine’s infrastructure.

Given that Congress controls the purse strings and the fact that a fair amount of these newly elected republican congress men and women aren’t of the “una-party” ilk, continuing funding of a war and or paying for Ukraine’s broken infrastructure isn’t likely to be met with a lot of enthusiasm. Especially, since Zelensky and company rejected all its early chances to make peace with Russia. It was, after all, Ukraine’s choice to “fight Russia to the death.” Given the ticket these “new breed of Republicans” ran on, there’s little chance that they’ll be offering any rational reason to their voters as to why U.S. taxpayers should have to pay another dime for Ukraine’s war. In fact, given that Europeans did little to divert this tragedy at every opportunity they had, congress will likely suggest the EU foot the bill! I have a novel idea, once they EU gets a refund from Pfizer for all “pharmaceutical interventions” that they paid for, which were sold under false pretenses, they could just give the money to Ukraine?

While we could say the Europeans did little to be the “voice of reason” when it came to diffusing the situation, Joe Biden and his administration could be said, poured “gasoline on the fire” every step of the way. The three stooges could have done a better job of international diplomacy, not whether it was deliberate or ineptitude or a combination of both, I’ll leave up to you to decide. Now of course, if Ukraine supporters and advocates can make a clear argument and demonstrate that the U.S. is somehow responsible for the war by instigating Russia, how so, say for example by building illegal biolabs over there, that would certainly put the US on the hook now, wouldn’t it?
But given the Biden administration has been denying that fact for a year now, little chance of that happening now, right?

See, elections do have consequences, some readily visible and others not so much at first!
