Sen. Kennedy SILENCES Top General — $300 Billion Sitting There and Nobody Moved

Sen. Kennedy SILENCES ​Top ​General — $300 ​Billion ​Sitting There and Nobody Moved. In a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, ​Senator John Kennedy confronts top U.S. military officials with eleven ​minutes and no ​patience for prepared statements. Three hundred billion dollars in ​frozen Russian assets — not a cent of it American taxpayer money — sitting in European financial institutions. Available. Untouched. The ​general sitting across ​from him ​had no idea the money ​existed. Kennedy then presents what ​Ukraine has ​accomplished without it. Over a ​hundred ​strikes on ​Russian ​energy infrastructure — ​not near the border, inside ​Russia — since ​January. Roughly forty percent of ​Russia's oil export capacity eliminated using ​drones that cost a fraction of ​what Russia ​spends defending against them. Then he turns to Taiwan. Under the Taiwan ​Relations Act, the United States is already legally committed to providing Taiwan with ​sufficient defensive arms to resist a coercive attack. That is ​not a proposal. That is ​existing law. The admiral's answer on selling Taiwan the ​weapons ​it has ​requested: there is ​"a full calculus of all the levers of power ​being negotiated." Kennedy entered that room with eleven minutes. He left having exposed something that days of prepared testimony couldn't have hidden: the gap between what America's military knows and what the moment demands.
