this story of American Empire, and that's really what it is–a story of [[liberal]] [[empire]]–is not particularly [[partisan]]. It's told by [[neoconservative]]s on [[Rightwing|the right]] and liberal [[globalist]]s on [[the left]]. Together they make up what you might call the Uniparty, the [[D.C.]] [[establishment]] that transcends all changing administrations.<ref>https://youtu.be/om6Y9Lg2RS4</ref>}}

{{See also|Ukraine aid|NATO war in Ukraine}}
In September 2023, Ukrainian dictator [[Volodymyr Zelensky]], who cancelled [[democracy|democratic]] elections, visited [[Washington, D.C>|Washington]] to beg for more aid after the [[Ukrainian military]] had been [[2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive|defeated in the field]]. Hawley remarked to the press, "If there’s some path to victory in [[Ukraine]], I didn’t hear it today...And I also heard that there’s going to be no end to the funding requests...What we were basically told is buckle up and get out your checkbook...It’s American people’s money...They’ve spent $115 billion, and, so far, they have basically nothing to show for it...Take out Ukraine, insert [[Iraq]] or [[Afghanistan]], and you would get exactly what [[George W. Bush]] said for years – and other people after him – about why we have to stay indefinitely in those countries and keep spending [[money]] indefinitely, with no oversight...It’s the same recycled argument...We shouldn’t be spending a dime more on Ukraine”.<ref>[https://english.alahednews.com.lb/73478/393 US: WH Issues Ukraine Aid Warning], Alahednews,.
