Zelensky: Would this agreement force me to let Ukrainians have elections again?
I smell propaganda, wreaks of decaying fish and chips...
Crockett: Will the agreement force Russia to pay reparations to blacks?
Pelosi: Doesn't both my portfolio either way.
It becomes clearer all the time the rump UK empire in London was behind this long-term plan to use Ukraine to grind-down Russia.
and as such, they were also behind long-term plans and activities to remove Trump, certainly by intel lies, lawfare and media propaganda - and possibly by assassination.
I don’t see it as a payoff to Trump unless it goes into his personal account. A payoff to the United States? Maybe.
But paying the United States doesn’t impugn Trump!
$500 million paid to the US would not even be a down payment on all of the money and military equipment we given to Ukraine
I meant $50 billion but that would be the start of a small dent in the picture of expenses.
The invention of the nuclear bomb ended “big” wars between global powers. We just fight small proxy wars, here and there. Y’know, Vietnam, El-Salvador, Afghanistan, Ukraine, etc.
Maybe we can get some of that money back that Obama gave Iran!
This article is not well written. I encourage folks to go read the 28 point plan yourself rather than MSM condensing of it. Links are here on FR.
$100B of frozen Russian assets very likely cannot be accessed without Russian approval. They reside at Euroclear and Euroclear’s board of directors has made it very clear that an attempt to steal that money would result in lawsuits outside of Europe, and then when the 91 other countries with deposits at Euroclear withdraw immediately in self defense, Euroclear would have to sue the Belgium government for those losses.
So yes, that $100B is likely already written off by Russia (note that’s only about 14 months of oil revenue) but it’s not going to the US. The **PROFITS** of whatever is invested in go to the US 50/50. This might not add to $50B for decades.
That para also requires the EU to come up with $100B. Of the entire document, THAT is the clause that has the most potential to result in total occupation of Ukraine by Russia, aided by the US to punish the EU for backing away from that obligation.
177 bln was allocated. Ukraine got 77 bln. Why don’t you ask Biden where 100 bln’s gone?
This is what happens when the idiot Democrat president jawbones a tyrant into a war. The Tyrant ends up winning & getting exactly what he wanted in the first place.
When it comes to Russia, Patton and Goldwater were right.
Russia, China, Islam. All need to be wiped out, utterly.
Exactly
Consider $100b partial payback. You can get us the rest later, Z man.

Heh, heh.
