SIREN: Trump defense is, from the start, fanning disinformation.

While the U.S. provides the bulk of military aid, Europe is by far the biggest contributor to Ukraine.
It's not even close.
"European countries have contributed an estimated 2/3s of all of the aid to Ukraine since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and launched a conflict in the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine, according to Iain King, a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies

After 17 years in the Senate, a single vote may define retiring Sen. @SenaAlexander's legacy.

W 1 more R needed to hear witnesses at Trump's impeachment trial, his good friend, Keel Hunt (Alexander was best man at his 1981 wedding), spoke with @NBCNews

Here's what Hunt said:
@SenaAlexander @NBCNews “If I had to guess right now … I wouldn’t be surprised if he says, ‘yeah let’s hear them. I think there’s a point when you think, how long can you keep a straight face,” Hunt said on Jan. 28.

The senator’s entire career has been about “looking for a middle ground,” said Hunt.
@SenaAlexander @NBCNews Even so, Hunt said he hasn't spoken w Alexander in weeks and has no idea how the senator will actually vote; he may be projecting what he thinks his friend *should* do.

Alexander, revered as a principled lawmaker and institutionalist, is caught between strong political winds.

FLAG:

Sen. Portman, last known person outside
White House to speak w Trump before Ukraine aid was released, said "corruption" never came up in their Sept. 11 call.

“He only raised one issue, and that issue only, and that was about Europeans not doing enough," Portman said.
“He (Trump) never linked the aid to corruption in general or certainly not an investigation in particular.”

Portman said in Sept., 2019 Fox Interview

On Trump's "burden sharing" claims:

Holmes, the Ukraine embassy official, testified he gave the WH the following in Aug. Since 2014: the U.S. provided a combined $3 billion while the Europeans have provided $12 billion.
“That information showed a different story,” he testified.

“By late fall of 2015, the EU and the United States joined the chorus of those seeking Mr. Shokin’s removal ....
as the start of an overall reform of the Procurator General’s Office. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden spoke publicly about this before and during his December visit to Kyiv; but Mr. Shokin remained in place.“

#Ukraine USAID Audit

@POTUS has the authority to without any foreign aid if financial corruption is suspected.

To prove that financial corruption has been going on within Ukraine, all we need to do is look at the audited USAID financial records for 2016.

USAID is responsible for managing US foreign aid to civilian groups and some gov programs.

When it comes to military aid one of the main contacts for the dept of defense in aligning and structuring programs is USAID.

The Ukraine cable discusses the upcomiby then President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, who will be addressing Congress on Sept.18/14.

Militar y aid was previously requested from #America to Ukraine in order to defend itself from #Russia

Poroshenko to most likely request military aid again, even though at that time Obama refused.
Ukraine's defense is not an option despite the fact that in 1994, Ukraine voluntarily surrendered its entire nuclear arsenal.

Was supposed to just hand over Military Aid on faith?

#Ukraine a heaven for illegal weapons and heavy artillery, but #ImpeachTrump for making sure the US military aid was not going straight to the black market
themoscowtimes.com/2019/09/17/bel…
@POTUS thank you for the work you are doing.
#Ukraine has a bad reputation for corruption.
In the past has US aid ever been audited? Where does the black market get all these weapons?

#Ukraine’s on the verge of martial law b/c #Russia just seriously escalated its 4yo illegal war—blocking key Kerch Strait, firing on & seizing 3 Ukrainian navy ships, wounding 6 Ukrainian sailors—AND Trump attacks NATO & EU. Appalling, terrifying & expected of a #PutinPuppet.
