The West has funneled more money into Ukraine than the entire nation’s GDP. The nation was considered a corrupt pariah by the West who would not allow Ukraine into any bloc formed from NATO to the European Union. Now, the European Union is virtue signaling by claiming it has covered Ukraine’s budget deficit next fiscal year.
None of these nations can overcome their deficits. Of course, the funding did not come from these governments but rather from the stolen Russian funds confiscated at the beginning of the war. The next €30 billion of transferred stolen assets will allegedly pay off Ukraine’s full deficit.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, praised the West for robbing Russia to pay Ukraine. “We know that 2025 is going to be a decisive year… we have to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Looking back, Europe has so far provided Ukraine with almost €130 billion. We have secured economic and financial stability until the end of 2025. That is good news. And with the Ukraine Facility and our G7 loan, we are even covering most of Ukraine’s financing gap for 2025. This is a major achievement,” she said.
The elites claim these funds amount to money that the Russian oligarchs stole from the Russian people, but that is simply not the case. The West has confiscated assets from a foreign nation during a time of peace as Ukraine is not in the NATO alliance. Now, the West is using those illegally confiscated assets to attack its adversary. This is complete and total economic warfare. China and others are taking note.
They stipulate this by saying they will only loan Ukraine money made on the profits of holding these assets. The risk will be shared among the G7 nations, and this risk is substantial, for Ukraine will no longer exist as a nation when this is over based on our computer models. Zelensky is too busy stuffing his pockets to care about his people or the future. He is banking on NATO invading Russia and extinguishing it as a country so he can then seize all the assets of Russia for Ukraine.
These nations are teetering on the edge by using these assets as collateral. Putin could confiscate ALL assets held by Western countries and private/public corporations under these new economic warfare tactics that completely violate international law. Zelensky has been demanding the full $300 billion in confiscated Russian assets as no sum will ever be enough for his bottomless pockets.
The G7 did not pull off an act of goodwill; rather, they opened the door for a new form of dirty economic warfare. This certainly does not mean Ukraine will stop begging for military and economic aid. Their deficit is currently being ignored. Ukraine is now in debt to the West for the trillions in loan payments. The true numbers are never calculated, but rest assured, Ukraine will be on the hook to all of its NEW debtors when the time comes. “Remember when Ukraine was a country?” will sadly be a question in the future.
How much $$$ does Burisma get?
Cold War II
We’ve forced the return to competing economic systems and currency blocks.
Ironically, when we had this situation in the past, the US and its allies’ currency was based on GOLD.
OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY (OPM) …The currency of the globalists.
Sadly (for the globalists), OPM runs out eventually…. ALWAYS.
how could the Ukes have any debt when brandon has been funding their OP for 4 years?
Real fun to use stolen Russian money to give to Ukraine… until you realize it’s adds fuel to brics and makes people not trust western banking.
“They stipulate this by saying they will only loan Ukraine money made on the profits of holding these assets. ”
Would you be ok if the bank froze your accounts and decided to give any accruing interest to the gang member down the street?
It’s truly astonishing to see bankers claim innocence at this theft by saying they’re only stealing the interest. As if the account holder has no legal claim to the interest. Like I said, all good fun until other countries flip the finger to the dollar and western banks.
Invest in America/The Dollar - then we’ll just steal it from you.
Then the morons wonder why their money is becoming kindling.
We’ve mostly been giving them our old weapons.
Best to remind folks that like all things money, this one is more or less meaningless.
The EU has a central bank called the ECB. They can create all the money they want from nothingness. Just like the Fed. And just like the Russian Central Bank.
Ukraine has a central bank also, but there is some indication in the past couple of years that their behavior has been constrained probably by the UK and US.
Eventually, someday, it will become clear that Bernanke was the guy who destroyed the system by revealing via QE . . . All of the above.
Armstrong is a convicted felon having spent eleven years in prison for losing hundreds of thousands of dollars of investors’ money through losing trades.
He has also lost he’s securities license and banned from providing financial advice or associating with financial advisors.
Before he lost his investors’ money he went bankrupt twice losing his own money.
Some predictions:
Gold will hit $5000 in 2015
A major world financial collapse will occur in 2015
The US will have a civil war starting in 2025 resulting in a break up into four new countries.
Now he runs a scam “education” site to provide his ECM data for $150 a month. Books and briefs are also available to purchase.
No doubt the money was laundered with Biden getting his 10% again.
We’ve mostly been giving them our old weapons.
———-
Weapons we may need in the future. Learn about our Military Assistance Program. I am quite familiar with it. Lived it, breathed it, and much of our “ old” equipment did wonders for foreign armies ( and police) to those loyal to us.
APC’s, armor, Stingers, etc will be in need for our allies in the future US wars….and maybe even by us, ANY APC, tank, etc is better than none when needed.
Your argument is very, very short sighted. You are a victim of senile Joes narrative.
“APC’s, armor, Stingers, etc will be in need for our allies in the future US wars….and maybe even by us, ANY APC, tank, etc is better than none when needed.”
Who will control the weapons when your US civil war breaks out next year?
Careful: this is a scam. Amazon, please remove this product.
If you order Martin Armstrong’s DVDs about the global sovereign debt crisis you get this product as a suggestion.
This has nothing to do with armstrongeconomics and is just a photocopy collection of random short stories which are out of copyright... just to thinly veil it as a product - could as well bind old newspaper and sell it. Worth probably <1USD in production (and produced on demand) and charged 15USD.. I will return it although the carrier costs will exceed 15USD - this must not be allowed.
This purchase damaged amazon’s reputation for me, although I can understand that it might be difficult to monitor millions of products. But this publisher deserves to be watched and banned if this is the only line of “commerce” they engage in.

Too late for you to be complaining when the antiques are gone.
Ke never met a Russian he didn’t like.
Just for you Texas Gator. Not many financial forecasters have this number of interviews. His second movie is due out soon. Your “ assessment “ seems to be off, way off.
