A leading figure in the Biden administration has backed a recovery programme for Ukraine in the style of the Marshall plan, which helped rebuild Europe after the second world war.

Pete Buttigieg, the US transportation secretary, said there was plenty of political will at home and internationally towards cooperating in long-term reconstruction efforts including to buttress existing infrastructure in Ukraine.

Fine, as long as we get half priced first choice wheat until the costs are paid back to us.

That isn't going to happen. Russia is going to control almost all the wheat production after this is over, not only in areas under its control but because it will control all activity in the Black Sea.

Thank you. Lots of Freepers on both sides of this coin, so I really was not sure. In any event, if what I am reading today is not propaganda/ misinformation, it looks like Ukraine is folding in the east and south. If that holds, our politicians will still have their chief money launderer in place.

A Marshall Plan for a country of patriots who are valiantly DESTROYING everything Russian that they come upon? What’s to “Marshall Plan?” Ukraine is WINNING!

How about a damned Marshall Plan for THIS country you homo?

Russian oil revenues should pay every cent needed to rebuild and to make reparations to those who have lost family and property. No one else.

Lots of kick backs and great opportunities for the drug addicted whore monger sons of our white liberal 'elites' in DC...

Yellen also wants abortions for poor Americans so they're not a drag on the economy. No family Christmas dinners and great memories for the working and servant classes in Yellen's mind...

“...a cost of more than one trillion US taxpayer dollars.”

That wouldn’t come close. Ukraine is so corrupt that it’s a bottomless pit for US cash. Let the EU fund it. It’s NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!

They make special ear swabs for the fecal matter, fyi.

Hunter has private school friends - lots of 'em want in on the action. China, Ukraine, Europe... shake 'em down boys...

Yellen also wants abortions for poor Americans so they're not a drag on the economy. No family Christmas dinners and great memories for the working and servant classes in Yellen's mind...but lots of cushy jobs for the loser kids of DC 'elites'.

The country's broke, over run with illegals and now we have to pay for Ukraine to be rebuilt? How about the rest of Europe? Do they need new roads? Buildings? Baby formula?

The 450 billion in seized reserves is a nice start.
Sell the yachts and use the proceeds to help.
Put a tariff on all Russian imports world wide to help.

And somehow, I think Russia should provide lumber from their forests to help rebuild. Not sure how to make that happen. Perhaps a lowered tariff or sanctions depending on how much lumber Russia provides.
