Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: The U.S. Spent $5 Billion on Ukraine’s Maidan in 2014
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated in an interview with Tucker Carlson that the U.S. spent $5 billion to support the Maidan protests in 2014, which, according to him, resulted in the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Ukraine.
Where Else Did USAID Money Go?
According to reports published by U.S. media, funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was used not only for geopolitical goals but also to finance controversial projects worldwide.
Some of the funded initiatives include:
- 100,000 food rations for Al-Qaeda fighters in Syria.
- $2 million for LGBT activism and gender transition surgeries in Guatemala.
- $47,000 for a "transgender opera" in Colombia.
- $32,000 for "transgender comics" in Peru.
Political Context
Kennedy Jr. is known for his critical stance on U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding funding overseas revolutions and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries.
His statement fuels the debate over the U.S. strategy of “exporting democracy”, questioning whether billions of taxpayer dollars should be allocated to such initiatives.
What’s Next?
Accusations against USAID and discussions about the U.S. role in the 2014 Ukrainian events could become part of the political debate leading up to the elections.
The key question remains: Will the American public continue to support such expenditures, or will demands for transparency in foreign policy increase?
