Ukraine Cannot Pay Govt in 2024 Without Billions from the West
Armstrong Economics ^ | 2 Jan 24 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 01/02/2024 1:43:05 PM PST by delta7

Most do not realize that the West has been funding Ukraine’s entire government. Biden and other world leaders have promised Zelensky that they would fund the salaries and pensions for all Ukrainian politicians and government workers. Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister, issued a warning that Ukraine will be unable to pay MILLIONS of government employees if the West does not resume payments.

The figures are correct. The West has the salaries of 500,000 Ukrainian civil servants on its payroll, along with 1.4 million teachers. The highest priced item is the 10 MILLION pensioners living completely off of foreign aid. Svyrydenko demands at least $37 billion to fund Ukraine’s government into 2024.

Congress blocked Joe Biden’s most recent attempt to send Ukraine over $60 billion. In return, Biden threatened to send American troops to the frontlines to die. The European Union, and the unelected officials at the top, attempted to send Ukraine an additional €50 billion but Hungary vetoed that support package. The EU is now looking for a loophole to send €20 billion to Ukraine without Hungary’s approval since the EU is not a union.

How can you effectively sell this idea to Europeans and North Americans amid the current cost of living crisis? The majority now realize that Ukraine will never stop begging for money. No amount will fuel the insatiable appetite of the most corrupt government in Europe. The funding mentioned is only for Ukraine’s government employees and does not include spending on the military, infrastructure, humanitarian aid, etc. Don’t forget we are also funding a war in the Middle East now too. Europe and North America cannot fund their own pension programs, and we will soon see a major pension crisis when the Baby Boomer generation leaves the workforce.

When will the people draw the line? This is what happens when you have taxation without any representation.

For the misguided doubting Thomas’s, view the video of senile Joe stating we must continue paying the Ukie government’s salaries. When does this madness end?

” the West has been funding Ukraine's entire government”

The mainstream media won’t mention this. Where are the Republican legislators on this scam?

I guess you didn’t view the proof, the imbedded video has Biden stating we MUST continue paying the Ukie government’s salaries. Taxation without representation, revolutions have started over less.

Go back to sleep.

Oh, please. It seems that every opportunity to further this USA-savior-to-UKR myth comes along, there you are posting your own propaganda.

As an American with a stake in this sham, what is going on with all this money to UKR is reprehensible. It will soon stop. Biden won’t need them to distract us from the abysmal job he’s done here in the US.

"Who the hell are these people?"

People who believe they have leverage over those "approving" the funding. And they probably do.

“Martin Arthur Armstrong (born November 1, 1949) is an American self-taught[1] economic forecaster and convicted felon who spent 11 years in jail for cheating investors out of $700 million and hiding $15 million in assets from regulators.”
above from wikipedia
Sounds like a great source.

Of course “demands”. Aren’t they entitled to every thin dime in the US treasury? They’re the greatest people on earth. Everyone. knows that — except citizens of the USA who are getting royally shafted.

It isn’t just him. You’re just deflecting. Even Biden himself has said things along those lines.
