Jared Kushner's development deal with pro-Russia Serbs -- with former convicted felon Donald Trump's envoy, Ric Grenell -- a $500 million deal with the Serbian government to develop a high end real estate project in downtown Belgrade has some interesting small print: a pledge by Kushner’s firm, Affinity Partners, to construct a “memorial dedicated to all the victims of NATO aggression”.
Huh.
Today, another America-hating republican, Marjorie Taylor Greene, tried to cut $433 million for military base upgrades at NATO facilities and 46 other America-hating Putin-loving republican representatives voted for her bill to do just that.
John Prine was right: it's a big old goofy world.
And in Kushner's case, so was Randy Newman:
I don't love the mountains
And I don't love the sea
And I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Or smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
It's money that I love
It's money that I love

Remembering people killed by Europeans. -- finally.
May the day comes where the wars are at your doorstep, and the college kids are ripped out of classrooms at Ivy League institutions to go fight, and 401K's are tithed to pay for it.
Blowback: Long Overdue.

well, the corruption bonus could not cover a fullsize bronze of their first preference :
https://www.snyderscandy.com/cdn/shop/products/put...retired Gen. Wesley Clark, who served as NATO Supreme Allied Commander:
..the planned revisionist memorial—officially proclaiming America’s adversary in the war to have been a victim of “aggression”— “is worse than a reversal” of U.S. policies in the region... “It’s a betrayal of the United States, its policies and the brave diplomats and airmen who did what they could to stop Serb ethnic cleansing.”

Kushner's just another rotten apple, no core, no principles.
"What did you expect me to do, kill the whole deal because some jerk wants to call it NATO aggression? Whatever, they'll probly get that changed around, amirite?"
I wonder if he'll have a pang of guilt depositing the checks. Nah.
