Patriot,

As we return to the real world from a much-needed holiday with
family and friends, we are seeing a glimmer of hope on at least
one horizon: the Washington establishment posture on Ukraine is
beginning to change.

As I noted in my column last week (below), a real rift has
emerged between the Biden administration and the Zelensky regime
in Ukraine over an incident that, if Ukraine had its way, would
drag us into World War III.

Let's hope this is a sign the Ukraine hysteria is beginning to
die down, and we can find an off-ramp to this senseless war.

And let's fight to prevent any more American dollars flowing into
this quagmire in the Lame Duck session.

Is Washington's Dangerous Ukraine Boondoggle Starting to Unravel?


Last week the world stood on the very edge of a nuclear war, as
Ukraine's U.S.-funded president, Vladimir Zelensky, urged NATO
military action over a missile that landed on Polish soil. "This
is a Russian missile attack on collective security! This is a
really significant escalation. Action is needed," said Zelensky
immediately after the missile landed.

But there was a problem. The missile was fired from Ukraine -
likely an accident in the fog of war. Was it actually a Russian
missile, of course, that might mean World War III. But Zelensky
didn't seem to be bothered by the prospect of the world blown up,
judging from his reckless rhetoric.

While Zelensky has been treated as a saint by the U.S. media, the
Biden Administration, and both parties in Congress, something
unprecedented happened this time: the Biden Administration pushed
back. According to press reports, several Zelensky calls to Biden
or senior Biden staff went unanswered.

When U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan finally
returned Zelensky's call, he is reported to have said, "tread
carefully" on claims Russia was behind the missiles landing in
Poland. The Biden administration went on to publicly dispute
Zelensky's continued insistence that Russia shot missiles into
NATO-Member Poland. After two days of Washington opposition to
his claims, Zelensky finally, sort of, backed down.

We've heard rumors of President Biden's frustration over
Zelensky's endless begging and ingratitude for the 60 or so
billion dollars doled out to him by the U.S. government, but this
is the clearest public example of the Biden Administration's
acceptance that it has a "Zelensky problem."

Zelensky must have understood that Washington and Brussels knew
it was not a Russian missile. Considering the vast intelligence
capabilities of the U.S. in that war zone, it is likely the U.S.
government knew in real time that the missiles were not Russian.
For Zelensky to claim otherwise seemed almost unhinged. And for
what seems like the first time, Washington noticed.

As a result, there has been a minor - but hopefully growing -
revolt among conservatives in Washington over this dangerous
episode. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene introduced
legislation demanding an audit of the tens of billions of dollars
shipped to Ukraine - with perhaps $50 billion more in the
pipeline. The resolution currently has eleven co-sponsors.

Rep. Matt Gaetz has publicly stated that he would not vote for
one more dollar for Ukraine. Others, like Rep. Paul Gosar, have
gone even further. In a recent Tweet, Gosar called U.S. support
for Ukraine a "corrupt money-laundering operation." As the
fallout from the recent collapse of the FTX crypto exchange
points to possible political corruption, his claims may prove to
be accurate.

When my son, Sen. Rand Paul, introduced an amendment to the
massive aid package to Ukraine calling for someone to audit the
funds, he was ridiculed and attacked. Some seven months later,
his position appears far more accepted. And that's a good thing.

When the Ukraine war hysteria finally dies down - as the Covid
hysteria died down before it - it will become obvious to vastly
more Americans what an absolute fiasco this whole thing has been.
Hopefully Republicans will accelerate that process when they take
the House in January. It cannot come too soon!
