Pentagon Admits $62 Million in Taxpayer-Funded Ukraine Military Aid Was ‘Lost or Destroyed’

Democrat President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense (DOD) has admitted to losing $62 million in taxpayer funds in the form of military aid sent to Ukraine.

However, according to a new report released on Wednesday, the Pentagon doesn’t actually know what happened to the weapons aid.

The DOD admitted that the weapons aid has but “lost or destroyed” but doesn’t know which.

The $62 million in weapons were designated for end-use monitoring (EEUM).

Unfortunately for American taxpayers, those weapons have since mysteriously disappeared, according to a Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General report (OIG) report.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

What a shame.  That money could have been used to bring in more illegal aliens. :tongue2:

By 62, we mean 620.

I'm sure the Pentagon cannot track down munitions fired at Russian targets, so that certainly is "Lost or Destroyed". OTOH, I'll bet some Russians could provide clues, if they are honest. And some US provided tanks or Bradleys have probably been lost, so those certainly are "Lost or Destroyed".

Vague weasel-wording smokescreens bias.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

So much for the story about "all the aid" we are sending Ukraine. I'm pretty sure that the monetary aid has been lost as well.
