Billions & Billions -Carl Sagan
The truth is that this money will be expected to come from the U.S. and the EU, either directly or indirectly through the World Bank and the IMF. In other words, you are going to pay for it one way or the other. Of course, most of the money would end up in the hands of corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs.
It’s unlikely much reconstruction will get done anyway because Ukraine has long been a money-laundering operation for the benefit of U.S. politicians including the Clintons, Bidens and Obamas.
That’s something to bear in mind when your taxes start going up to “help” Ukraine."
It is ttime for Ukraine to try and cut a deal with Russia and get the best deal that they can.
750 BILLION ? ? ?
Won’t even cover the big guy’s 10 percent!
How? Biden wants Gazprom back, they give his son kickbacks for selling sanctioned oil here in the US.
“Give Us More Money, $750 billion rebuild Ukraine after the war.”
That’s the LEAST we can do, considering that we caused the war in the first place, by overthrowing their government and then arming up Ukraine.
And maybe if the Neocons were held personally liable for some of that $750B, they’d be humbled a bit.
Nobody bails out a country financially without strings attached. This is enslavement. It always is.
I am absolutely certain that biden is planning to give a huge amount of money to Ukraine when the war ends.
1 trillion, give or take a few billion.
Just what does Ukraine have on biden? What tidbit will they reveal if he doesn’t cough up the money?
The global elite, along with both sides of our political class, has embraced the cesspool that it the Ukraine, favoring it over America’s middle class. Putin is trying to expose the corruption in this s’hole, much like Donald Trump did. Think about that Neocons.
When 3 of the enemy combatants are a sitting illegitimate president, a likely illegitimate previous president and his ungrateful husband, and a previous president with the most corrupt wife on the planet; what is a country to do?
One weird trick on how to destroy your fiat currency's status as the world reserve currency:
Start seizing bank accounts and assets denominated in your fiat currency like you're a pirate, and just got your new pirate name.See how many people, companies and countries flee your radioactive junk currency.
It is a terrible state of affairs when we are throwing billions away for a proxy war and the loss of that money as well as the deleterious economic consequences is making Americans suffer.
We worked hard to take this country to where it was, we should not be embarrassed about it and it should benefit Americans.
The Lefties are tearing our country down. I cannot believe a single person in our middle class would vote Democrat against their own interests.
I’m not fine with giving Ukraine $750B. However, I’m perfectly fine with sending them equipment/supplies, etc. to kill more Russians. Considering what we spend during the Cold War and since to counter Russia, we’re getting an incredibly bargain to hammer the hell out of the Russian military.
Pure propaganda.
It was all a lie? Oh Russia didn’t invade Ukraine?
A lost cause? Ukraine is preparing an offensive.
To the last Ukrainian? Then how can they rebuild after the war? (See lost cause also).
No the author is not “pro truth”.
End all of the boomeranging suicide sanctions immediately and make deals to ensure the free flow of fuel, fertilizer, and food.
Billions & Billions -Carl Sagan
Russia’s revenues from oil and natural gas exports are at all-time highs. The Russian ruble is much stronger today than it was when the war began. China and India are buying all the Russian oil that Europe is refusing to buy.
Meanwhile, the economies of the U.S. and the EU are in or very near to recession. Inflation is out of control in the West. Commodity shortages will lead quickly to food shortages and more empty shelves in supermarkets.
Across the board, Biden’s economic sanctions have backfired and are hurting the U.S. and Europe far more than they are hurting Russia.
