Staff Reports
According to a report from The Daily Signal, the Defense Department’s inspector general discovered that there is a big problem with keeping track of the guns that the US sends to Ukraine. It seems that these guns are ending up in the wrong hands. The report tells us about a group of people who pretended to be good guys helping out with humanitarian aid, but instead, they stole a bunch of bulletproof vests that were meant for Ukrainian forces. These vests were worth $17,000! Can you believe that? And that’s not all – the report says that there have been other cases where weapons were stolen and sold illegally. It’s like a bad action movie come to life!
This report makes it clear that there is a serious lack of accountability when it comes to US arms shipments to Ukraine. And guess what? The Biden Administration doesn’t want any more oversight! They think that the inspector general’s office at the Pentagon is enough. Well, if the inspector general can’t even keep track of a bunch of bulletproof vests, then I don’t think they’re doing a very good job. We need someone who will actually take this issue seriously and make sure that our weapons are ending up in the right hands.

You would think that with all the money we’ve given to Ukraine – over $113 billion! – they would be able to keep track of a few guns. But it seems like the money is just going down a black hole. Who knows where it’s actually going. Maybe some of it is going towards paying the salaries of corrupt Ukrainian officials. Or maybe it’s just disappearing into thin air. Either way, it’s clear that something needs to change. It’s time for some real accountability and oversight.
