#FakeNews media condemns Trump for not wanting US Aid to fuel corruption

It's been stated clearly and unambiguously that Trump hesitated on aid to the Ukraine not because he was demanding a quid pro quo but because he was concerned about corruption and the lack of support from European countries.

Yet the #FakeNews media acts as though there is no corruption problem in the Ukraine.  That of course directly contradicts the praise that the #FakeNews media is heaping on Joe Biden for fighting corruption in Ukraine--of course Joe was actually enabling corruption by setting an example by letting his son, Hunter, get rich in a corrupt scheme.  It's obvious that Biden didn't end all corruption in Ukraine so Trump's concern is clearly valid.

By the way a State Department official in 2015 pointed out that Hunter Biden's deal with a corrupt Ukraine company undercut attempts by the US to end corruption in Ukraine. If the son of the American VP can get huge payments for essentially no useful work why shouldn't relatives of corrupt Ukraine politicians do the same?

Ever since WWI the US taxpayer and American soldiers have been propping up Europe. With the fall of the Soviet Union Russia has become a European problem not an American one.  The Soviet Union called for a global communist revolution and the overthrow of American democracy.

All Russia wants is to be a local imperialist power in Europe.  If Russia takes over the Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia it won't hurt the US but it is bad for Europe.  While the US should stand for freedom everywhere it should be Euros not Dollars that flow into Ukraine to resist Russian imperialism.

While leftists tend to be infatuated with Europe, probably because European countries have insanely powerful governments and no 1st or 2nd Amendments, most Americans don't want to continue to subsidize the amazingly wealthy Europeans anymore. While Europeans enjoy weeks long paid vacations each summer Americans shouldn't be subsidizing their security.

The simple reality is that if Obama had done what Trump is alleged to have done the #FakeNews media would be praising him.  But since leftists want you to subsidize Europe and they want to pretend that Joe Biden's son wasn't an example of corruption for Ukraine leaders they will attack Trump for keeping the American taxpayer's interests first and foremost.
