    West will run out of money to support Ukraine – former Pentagon adviser

    Retired colonel claims funds meant for Ukraine end up in the hands of the military-industrial complex and will eventually dry up

    The West will eventually lose interest in the Ukraine conflict and run out of resources to support Kiev in its war against Russia, a top former US military official said.

    “There is no strategy. What we have is impulse,” retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor told Judge Andrew Napolitano on his YouTube channel on Friday.

    In a wide-ranging interview, MacGregor said much of the military aid earmarked for Ukraine never reaches the country itself.

    “Most of the money goes to the Department of Defense to compensate the armed forces for the movement of equipment and resources over to Europe. That money in turn is then transferred to the defense industries, the contractors who support and provide the replacement equipment,” he said, adding that the “whole circular operation enriches everyone who is important to Capitol Hill in terms of re-election.”

    MacGregor called the situation a “shell game” that enriches the military-industrial complex, the same people who help politicians get re-elected in Washington.

    “My own view is that this war in Ukraine will not end with a bang but with a whimper, that eventually we will just sort of quietly run out of resources,” he said, adding that domestic problems in the West will overshadow the conflict.

    “We’ll have so many problems at home here in the United States that we’ll no longer bother with [Ukraine],” he said.

    In a combination of aid packages, the US is sending roughly $54 billion to Ukraine in both economic and military aid, with approximately $12 billion of that in weapons.

    At the same time, the US economy shrank 0.9 percent in the second quarter of this year, which is the second consecutive quarter of economic contraction, which technically meets one definition of a recession. Coupled with the highest inflation since 1981, the US economy faces a period of “stagflation” – defined as low growth with high inflation.

    These economic challenges, which are hurting Americans’ wallets, have led many critics to question the high price tag of funding the Ukrainian war effort while Americans struggle at home.

    Meta apps inject a tracking code into websites when people are viewing them

    Instagram and Facebook apps track what people do when browsing third-party websites without their consent, privacy researcher Felix Krause has warned.

    Krause, a former Google engineer, wrote on a blogpost on Wednesday that the iOS app injects codes into every website shown and uses “a custom in-app browser” instead of the built-in Safari to monitor users’ activity.

    The app does so “without the consent from the user, nor the website provider,” Krause wrote.

    The researcher said that he could not determine the exact data Instagram is tracking but stressed that such in-app browsers allow everything a user does on a website to be tracked, including “every tap” and “scrolling behavior.”

    He added that such browsers could be exploited to steal sensitive data, such as home addresses.

    In a statement to The Guardian on Thursday, Instagram’s parent company Meta said that injecting a tracking code was in accordance w..
