Fox Discovers Corruption in Ukraine, Ignores US Military Budget
The Fox News exposé warns of a '$100M wartime scheme' in Ukraine, citing investigations into Zelenskyy's alleged allies. It's a gripping tale of stolen funds and 'golden toilets,' apparently a deep crisis. What Fox News conveniently omits is the US military budget, which, for 2023, was a cool $886 billion. That's 8,860 'golden toilets' worth of taxpayer money, largely funneled to defense
contractors with barely a peep from mainstream media, let alone a scandalized headline. One might wonder if the concern over a comparatively minuscule sum in a war-torn nation functions as a distraction. While Ukrainian corruption is condemned, the vast, often unaudited sums flowing into the US military-industrial complex (and then conveniently back into political campaigns) are simply 'defense
spending.' How many 'golden toilets' could we find if anyone looked as hard at Lockheed Martin's balance sheets as they do at Kyiv's?
