Jen Briney, in the latest Congressional Dish: "Imagine if Russia had a military alliance, then coordinated the overthrow of the Mexican government and then openly declared its intention to include Mexico in its Anti-USA military partnership. That's the equivalent of what a high ranking member of the State Department just said our goal is in Ukraine, Russia's next door neighbor [...] When we think of our 'aid to Ukraine' this is a much bigger issue than helping out a friendly country in need. The military aid we have been providing for more than 5 years now serves to maintain a regime change that was orchestrated and supported by the US and our NATO allies. It's a 'world order' thing... and the people involved want that regime change to stick. And one of the most striking things to me as I watched over 40 hours of testimony in the House Select Committee on Intelligence, every minute of every hearing presenting the evidence against President Trump, was that every person who testified wanted the military aid to go to Ukraine. In fact, they were all quite passionate about it."

Ukraine is the 'Oil & Gas Texas' of Asia. It is a gravy train where Obama's successful regime change has put into place a mechanism of wealth transference from Energy interests in the region DIRECTLY to the 'players' and their families such as the Bidens. This has been done shamelessly and at transparent risk of inciting Russia into Cold War 2.0 by providing lethal military aid to its border states.

The 'players' needed Hillary as President to keep the gravy train on the rails. They desire Biden to win for the same. For the past 3 years (and before the 'phone call') the Trump Administration had submitted proposed budgets with ZERO dollars for military aid to Ukraine, amounts overridden to a positive value by Congress (later signed by Trump). So for most this time period there is no evidence that Trump is personally involved in the gravy train or considers Ukraine aid as anything other than a US aid line item that should become zero, along with other zero annulments for other places.

But what is at stake? It is not directly about the aid money, they are terrified that should the Ukraine more closely align with Russia in the future the whole gravy train might dissolve. This includes Energy investments in the region and infrastructure built from it, including loan guarantees that far exceed the value of the money given. It's an investment bubble from which the Bidens (and others) receive bare-nekkid kickbacks.

So if you hear the opposition going on about withholding aid to Ukraine as if it was blankets and baby formula, know that it was about weapons pointed at Russia... and Energy investments. This Congressional Dish episode is a good listen... Jen Briney dislikes Trump and dived into the impeachment hearings desperate to find some solid foundation for Trump misconduct, or any action that was beyond what she (intelligently!) understands is within Trump's purview as President. All she found was an ass-covering escalation of the Ukraine 'excuse' for impeachment.

So why was Ukraine issue placed at the front of the impeachment drive? To protect the Burisma (tip of the iceberg) gravy train, and in an attempt to bury the Bidens' involvement in noise.
