{{Cquote|The so-called [[Euromaidan]] protests in [[Kiev]] culminated in the February 2014 [[coup d'etat]], which brought [[radical]] pro-[[EU]] and pro-[[NATO]] politicians to power and plunged [[Ukraine]] into crisis, leading to the current conflagration...[[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] has been sabre-rattling against [[Russia]] ever since, drumming up sanctions and restrictions that were obviously going to have consequences, and that is exactly what happened...You know, they’re saying the quiet part out loud that congressmen tend to vote for this stuff because a lot of this federal spending that goes to Ukraine is actually laundered back to the [[military-industrial complex]]...And in some ways, not very efficiently, but in some ways, it enriches people in their districts and the [[stockholder]]s, some of whom are congressmen.<ref>[https://rumble.com/v3zsm4n-tucker-carlson-episode-45-how-could-washington-send-billions-more-to-sleazy.html Tucker Carlson Episode 45 - How could Washington send billions more to sleazy oligarchs in Ukraine], December 5, 2023.
