Trump raised the idea of providing US aid to Ukraine via loan so that it might get paid back. But Republicans on Capitol Hill are skeptical that will happen. "I just think a loan ends up being a grant," said one House Republican. There's a relatively new idea floating around the political world, and it's being pushed by former President Donald Trump: What if Ukraine aid came in the form of a loan?

I would not trust Ukraine to pay back a loan.
Doesn’t most of Western Europe owe us for WWI and WWII equipment?
It’s just a way for Trump to agree to support Ukraine. If they repay it at all it will be by giving US companies preference in developing some key industry after the war. Which he can also point to as a win.
If this is true, this is a terrible idea by Trump. Just say no to any more involvement in this foreign war. The US has done enough harm already. If Trump really wants to help Ukraine, close down the CIA.
“”We should loan them the money,” Trump said at a rally in Ohio on Saturday. “If they make it — they’re against tremendous odds — but if they make it, they pay us back.”
Trump is totally trolling the corrupt politicians pushing for more money to the Ukraine. To expose them for pretending Ukraine is winning if we just give them moar money, Trump’s asking them to ‘bet on’ the Ukraine.
The corrupt Biden Regime knows the Ukraine is losing, and Trump’s using the fact that FAKE NEWS keeps pretending the Ukraine is winning to say,
“Oh. Okay. Well then, put your money where your mouth is and give them a loan. I’m SURE they’ll pay it back, amIright?”
Perhaps a loan would be depending upon a complete audit of Ukraine’s money-laundering operation by non-globalist American teams of accountants.
Am I the only one who understands Trumps language?
He is a presidential candidate. He’s a private citizen with no lawmaking capability
He’s telling these idiots forking over out money to this clown pretending to be running Ukraine that they should treat him like anyone looking for money they don’t have
They should see if he passes a basic test for borrowing. He doesn’t pass the test
Why is handing this guy money with no obligation to earn it, appreciate it, pay it back ok. It isn’t
That’s what Trump is sSying.
Why does Lindsay Graham go to Ukraine regularly what is he or any one of them getting from Ukraine for giving them U.S. taxpayer money
Trump is pointing out how stupid these people are
So we borrow more money to loan it out to a bad credit risk. WTF?
Trump doesn’t thin Ukraine is going to pay it back
Geeze now people are thinking Trump doesn’t know rule #1 about business. Don’t put money into something that won’t make it grow
‘ If this is true, this is a terrible idea by Trump.’
Ya let’s believe msn
“ Trump is totally trolling”
Sigh
Hello!!!
Yes. That is what is going on here
WHY does Trump want to support this Democrat/Deep-State corruption and money-laundering black box at all?
Ukraine was the Democrats un-searchable and un-auditable base for every major attack on Trump - from the DNC server, to the origin of the fake dossier, to the Vindmans and impeachment, to Biden’s corruption.
its a pity for the average Ukrainians, but they are under the control of corrupt deep-state politicians and the Azov puppets they have installed.
The only country to ever pay us back for WWII is England
After Germany bombed Pearl Harbor we never gave up hope on world peace.
Everyone else still owes money.
Europe is a bunch of ungrateful Dead beats, who can’t fight sleep and a war of self preservation is even harder for them
But Biden gives them money free?
You idiot MSN, Trump wants to STOP GIVING money away, and start LOANING countries in need. When the US gives money away it makes it easier for congressmen to LAUNDER it and get kickbacks to fund their re-election campaigns.
Germany bombed Pearl Harbor??
so, how much of that $100+ billion in “aid” that brandon has sent to the Ukes do you think we’ll ever get back????
And what happens when they don’t pay back ? We foreclose on their country ?
Trump is a consumate business man. Read the following post (text in the box below) and ask yourself if he really thinks it's a good idea to loan money to the Ukraine.
Why has he waited to say so now, when the war has been going on for 2 years?
In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled How the electric war is redrawing the Ukraine……, ransomnote wrote: Russia's supposed drop in production and sanctions, which not all nations will obey, is NOTHING compared with the complete collapse of the Ukrainian economy, the death and departure (refugee) of their able-bodied workforce, and the destruction of their electrical grid along with anything plugged into it.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Three Men Charged With Running Hawala Scheme Responsible For Illicitly Moving More Than $65 Million Between The United States And The Middle East, GOPJ wrote: We are paying to sustain Ukraine’s critical healthcare services, meet its pension responsibilities for 9.8 million people, assist 1.3 million internally displaced persons, provide housing assistance to 4.1 million people, and provide social assistance to 240,000 low-income families and 480,000 persons with disabilities. We subsidize Ukraine’s small businesses, buy seeds and fertilizer for Ukrainian farmers and fund divers who clear unexploded ammunition from the country’s rivers to make them safe again for swimming and fishing.
Americans pay to secure Ukraine’s borders while millions of welfare seeking barbarians and terrorists flood through ours.
We're being taken to the cleaners...
According to this OP, an increasing number of cities are becoming unlivable with permanent damage to power generating systems and all the infrastructure, electronics and basics (heat, light and water).
There is no comparison. If the public understood that the United States provides the economy for the Ukraine, more would realize the Ukraine lost the war long ago and they are being propped up as puppets "Save the Ukraine!" when there's no chance of winning.
This conflict is definitely not as one sided as Russian sources claim, or (for the umpteenth time) Russia would have already won.
The reason Russia hasn't already won because they are not targeting civilians as the Ukrainian propagandists insist. Russians were initially furious with Putin's opening moves in the war because he was trying to threaten the Ukraine to engage in peace negotiations with strikes on infrastructure; his people thought he was being soft, weak. They were glad when he took the gloves off but he's still not targeting civilians. NATO (Biden) prevented Z from negotiating and Russia realizes the only way to end this is to put the lights out and is doing so without targeting people.
NATO/Zelensky/Biden are willing to let all of the Ukraine burn and conscript her people (aged 15 to 70, including the disabled) to die in trenches with insufficient weapons. The criminals here are those controlling NATO's elite superpowers and using the Ukrainian citizens as sacrificial chess pieces on a blood-soaked chessboard.
Trump already said the Ukraine is among the most corrupt regions in the world. He knows NATO is controlling the conflict. We know his opinion of NATO. He knows about the Biden Regime money laundering business there, that it's the center of Deep State activity, and that Zelensky is controlled and corrupt. Trump recalls that he asked Zelensky to investigate the Biden mess there, and Zelensky refused. Trump knows about the lack of accountability for the billions we sent. No. Trump doesn't think loaning them money is a good idea.
He's trolling....
