If there’s one thing the Washington political class admires, it’s a shameless fund raiser. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is currently in the capital, putting on a master class in separating starstruck sycophants from their our cash.
It’s no wonder the folks whose careers are paid for with panhandled proceeds are treating him like a rock star. He’s a man after their own hearts, and he’s about to talk them out of another $45 billion.
If the latest donation, more than enough to erect a border wall, build 1,000 high schools or 50 hospitals, or buy every man, woman, and child in the U.S. a $130 Christmas present, goes through, it will bring the total we’ve given to help Ukraine turn back the Russian invasion to about $100 billion.
