President Biden on Thursday asked Congress for a $33 billion supplemental funding bill aimed at supporting Ukraine over the next several months.
And here’s how he plans to pay for it; by selling Russian Oligarch’s houses, apartments, jets, and luxurious yachts.
But to do that he needs Congress to expand his Presidential powers.
‘Seize yachts, fund the war,’ White House chief of staff Ron Klain tweeted about the request.
To give you an idea, more than a dozen yachts, worth approximately $2.5 billion, have already been seized around the world.
The money includes $20.4 billion in additional security and military assistance, $8.5 billion in economic assistance, and $3 billion in humanitarian assistance.
‘We need to contribute arms funding ammunition and the economic support to make their courage and sacrifice have purpose so they can continue this fight and do what they’re doing. It’s critical this funding gets approved and approved as quickly as possible,’ Biden said.
Remember, in his State of the Union address on March 1, President Biden warned oligarchs that the U.S. and European allies would ‘find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets.’
‘We are coming for your ill-begotten gains,’ he said.
Go get ’em.
