The government might have paid the money out, but the receiving companies might not have delivered the hardware to Ukraine yet.

not sure if $38m or $35m, I have heard $35m. The caveat that Trump put on the Javelins was they be stored 200 km from the front lines, so really of no use right now. The congress had to pass a new bill just to keep the remaining funds available to Ukraine and we are not being told WHY it has not yet been released. Trump is dumb enough to keep the extortion scheme going even while he is going through impeachment, or arrogant enough because he knows he will not be removed.

these Javenlins to be no closer than 200 k's from any engagement areas. The Guardian Europe posted that story weeks ago. BTW,other monies for Romania,Lithuania and Estonia are supposedly impounded as well . Our chichenshit Media is so afraid of their lose of access.

for Lebanon but once the investigation started it was released and that came from the press but I had not heard about the countries you listed. I hope they get to them as well, I am sure it is difficult for them to get all the information. I doubt that the senate even cares, they are giving away any power they had to correct any of this.

refuses criticism of their dear leader. It takes a story from the the likes of the Daily Beast or Rolling Stones to force them to produce a fluff piece criticizing their dear leader.

If you had read the post about a Cocktail Party at Jeff Bezos's Mansion,that is all one needs to prove what many have suspected for a couple decades. Honest Journalism is getting harder to find with each passing day.
