I doubt that its possible to send amounts of money on that scale “in secret” through a government agency. Everything is documented and all money paths traceable.
but but it’s a secret and um, secrets are bad! trust me bro! bro?
it’s like, no shit the government is corrupt. and no shit, the US squanders taxpayer money abroad on endless proxy wars perpetuated intentionally by international arms suppliers for the benefit of oligarchs and tyrants (elected or otherwise).
but conservatives just hear “Trump mad at Ukraine now” and fall in line like gormless toadies, not understanding that he and Putin are just the latest wave of despotic power brokers bilking the citizenry for personal gain.
the players change, but the game doesn’t. conservatives obsess about which color shirt the guy who robs them is wearing, and ignore cries to stop supporting thieves.
