Done Deal: U.S. Loans Ukraine $20 Billion Ahead of Biden’s Departure
Breitbart ^ | 12/11/2024 | Simon Kent

Posted on 12/11/2024 6:34:40 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The United States confirmed Tuesday it has granted $20 billion in funds for Ukraine backed by proceeds earned on frozen Russian assets. The cash is part of a $50 billion G7 support package and comes 40 days before President Joe Biden departs the White House.

The loan funds come at a crucial juncture for Kyiv as President-elect Donald Trump has already indicated he wants an immediate settlement between the two combatants rather than helping fund a never ending war, as Breitbart News reported.

Trump has increasingly questioned the level of financial support given to Ukraine following Russia’s 2022 invasion, saying as recently as last weekend he will “probably” reduce aid to Kyiv.

Loans.... LOL with no repayment terms.

LIKE THE LOANS China, Russia and Ukraine gave to Biden so he didn’t need to record the bribes as income.

That’s part of why Manafort went to prison.

And Jan 21 an audit needs to be ordered for all the Ukraine aid, the taxpayers should know where all their money did or didn’t go, that includes cash and weapons.

a president shouldn’t be able to give or lend even $1 of US taxpayer money without congressional approval.

I feel we should change the lag between an election and the assumption of power.

It made sense in the 1700's and 1800's when travel was far slower. It makes utterly no sense now.

“Loan”
Does anybody believe the U.S. will EVER be repaid?
Why didn’t these Globalist just take the money from Ruzzia’s Frozen Assets?
Because these Globalist are scared sh*tless of Putin. They dare not confiscate Ruzzia’s money, instead will confiscate U.S. Money.

Peanuts. What’s another $20 billion on top of the pile that will never be repaid?

Pat Sajak coined the term “parting gift”.

It burns me that taxpayers funded the “gift”, but I like the idea it may be parting.

The democrat party hates America and Americans.

Big Guy Biden taking advantage of his final days in office to set up more kickback scams and steal as much as he can before January 20th, 2025.

“The term loan refers to a type of credit vehicle in which a sum of money is lent to another party in exchange for future repayment of the value or principal amount.”

Biden is hellbent on laundering as much money as he can in Ukraine before Trump takes over.

That’s how Biden bypasses Congressional approval.

It’s a scam. We guarantee their loan, they default, USA pays.

The same was done with the Green Deal EV manufacturers.

The same was done by Biden when he threatened to stop the loan guarantee if Burisma was investigated.

Burning the US economy to the ground and will blame Trump when there's economic problems after Jan 20.

This goes way beyond inheriting the previous administration's problems.

The war against America continues.
