Ukraine Will Spend $20 Billion in US Aid to Build Green Energy

I, for one, am excited that in the midst of a U.S.-funded war with Russia, Ukraine has committed to spend $20 billion it doesn't have to green up its energy sector.

Will all that diesel fuel being expended to run tanks and transport trucks, the country really has to offset its carbon emissions. 

What I don't yet know is whether Ukraine will close down farms, transition to insect protein, and build 15-minute cities to save planet Earth as Ukrainians get slaughtered on the battlefield. 

Perhaps announcements regarding these other Gaia-friendly measures will come soon. Or, perhaps they can go all Soylent Green on us using battlefield casualties. 

This is, of course, totally insane. Imagine how easy it would be to destroy an entire field of solar panels with a few artillery shells, not to mention the problem of having to build backup power plants to run when the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine. Green energy projects ALWAYS require backup generating capacity, and given how vulnerable solar panels are in particular, it is inconceivable that the total cost of providing this energy will be astronomical and wasted.

Ukraine can do this, though, in the midst of an existential war because they have the unlimited resources of the United States government behind them. There is no way that this wasn't instigated by Biden's people, nor could it be done without US funding. 

No doubt a lot of money will be made by Biden allies as well, and of course, that is the real point of all this. It is laughable to think that Ukraine's greatest use of billions of dollars is reducing its carbon footprint, but as long as everybody says it with a straight face the aid keeps flowing, the profiteering continues, and taxpayers foot the bill. 

Expect to see a lot more of this over the next few months or years, depending on how the election goes. The systematic stripping of American resources for the benefit of the transnational elite, for whom we are farm animals to be used for work and then slaughtered when we are used up, as they have started to do in Canada, where they suggest to disabled veterans that they off themselves rather than get wheelchairs. 

As I have said before, shamelessness is a superpower. Being willing to do the most outrageous things without regard to even looking reasonable lets leftists get away with almost anything. They bully, cajole, gaslight, and rob us blind, and as long as they maintain the backing of the brainwashing industry that is the mainstream media, they will get away with it.

This happens all the time in banana republics. The elite robs the hoi polloi blind, destroys the country, and retires billionaires. In the US there is a greater sheen of respectability because people still sorta kinda trust the mainstream media. That trust is being eroded quickly, but I am not sure that it isn't too late to oust the swamp dwellers from power.
