The end of article says they can't use the money and they're reappropriating $8 billion (unbelievable) in R&D funds to pay troops. EoD, WaPo's unethical clicky title asks an unnecessary question. Dump wants you to think his friends are paying the troops when they aren't. Manipulation for everyone

Hiring mercenaries didn't work out so well for Rome, in the end.

Very generous of Putin

Somebody just bought a favor from Trump

They are not getting a cent from me for murdering me with ID fraud crimes, fake spin and cancer radiation to get money by treason and jew hookers my money & AI.

How would you describe soldiers who are privately paid by an anonymous donor? There is actually a word for it. Those soldiers are mercenaries.

Did it come from Putin?

*bribe

I’m sure it wasn’t a donation probably took it from the treasury.

Imagine if you weren’t owned by one of the wannabe Oligarchs & we still had journalism. Every day provides material to keep a legion of investigative journalists busy for years. Democracy IS dying in darkness and you people and your owner are complicit. Weak, cowardly and complicit mouthpieces!

So are the Russians, the Chinese, or the Saudis now paying for the US Army? Or a combination? Don't need to invade a country. Just financially back the politicians who will literally sell their own family to the highest bidders.

Somebody or entity paid our troops $130 million. We Americans are not allowed to know their identity. The Oligarchy now owns our military too? The funding role of Congress is so easily brushed aside.

Well if you ask any of our troops that will receive a portion of these funds I’m sure they will tell you to go fuck yourself. Come up with a better solution

This paper is constantly promoting right-wing propaganda and lies!

The Pentagon has never passed an audit. This is more of that kind of graft. 😖

Lordy! Just when i thought it couldn't get any swampier!

"raises questions"? Seriously?

It's a bribe.

Is this really going on in Trump's America? How does any honorable person sign on to his agenda of chaos. America becomes weaker every day of his insanity.😢

This is so f'ing corrupt. Makes them loyal and dependent to someone other than American people

The US military is now mercenaries for hire. That is your headline. Stop being cowards.

Come on wapo, it's illegal. Its an attempt to circumvent congress power of the purse and make the military directly dependent on the president. Frame things correctly.

Yet they found $20 BILLION for Argentina

Illegal

Elon trying to make up to orange blob?

"raises questions" the answer to which is, "Yes, it is illegal."

This better be investigated. This is a scam, a bribe. Who is the billionaire buying our military and why? This sounds like another Trump scam.

Could be some money from a drug cartel or from a pedophile ring... or worse, could be Soro's money.

the questions are already answered, the answer is that they're illegal and that you all suck balls at journalism

The only question should be, "Is this illegal?" To which the answer is, "Yes, of course it is. He prefers doing things that are illegal."

This is a crime

This is illegal. It is a crime. You cowardly hacks.

bsky.app/profile/kerr... So that the military remains compliant with the constitutional coup? From the same people who funded a genocide to build a theme park 🤮

Please stop soft-pedaling the Administration's criminal actions as "raising questions." I am begging you to please do your jobs.

Timothy Mellon.

So. Aside from being illegal, what is the money really buying? Wonder if this billionaire also donated money to tear down the White House ☕️🫖 3 more years of this tacky corrupt crap. God give me strength. Go feed a hungry child. On SNAP.

‘Raises questions’. Bezos heavy handedly fucking with the news. What an asshole.

This is illegal. Straight up. Think that should be an occasional headline?

Wait, I can “donate” $100 per Federal employee to get them paid fully? Can we set up a Gofundme to pay for 20,000 National Park Service employees or 10,000 air traffic controllers? I think we can make it to a couple million.

ANONYMOUSLY donating to the military? 🔔🔔🔔🔔‼️

Illegal is the proper word, you complete fucking hacks.

Rent-a-soldier?

It's clearly illegal. Collaborators.

‘Raises questions’ fuck off

JUST SAY IT IS ILLEGAL OR WHAT ARE YOU EVEN FOR

. That’s illegal. Rewrite your headline: @washingtonpost.com “$130 million donation to pay military salaries amay Imagine the obligations this would create. Doesn’t anyone at the Pentagon or White House check with a lawyer or use common sense? A

"Raises questions.". FFS.....be better WaPo.

The non-tax paying rich oligrachs are now running our Pentagon. Image by anonymous. Feel free to repost.

You should lead with how illegal this is. Another failure.

“Raises questions,” huh? Jesus Christ.

So some billionaire bought the use of the US military for theirs??
