According to Michael Hudson, this is just how the circular flow of US dollar spending in Ukraine is laundered back to US politicians, so they’re setting up their “networks” of overseas bank accounts, the government sends billions of dollars to “help” Ukraine and a good portion of that launders back to US politicians account in a completely legal manner.

The same with Israel and AIPAC, that’s why billions of dollars are willingly spent in Israel because much of that money goes back to the Republicans and Democrats. I guess the Republicans missed out a bit on the Ukraine money because the Democrats are much better connected in the region, hence their less appetite for keep funding Ukraine.
