Here's how it's going to go down. Mark this post.
Russia will rebuild the parts that were formerly Ukraine that they now occupy.
To get the sanctions lifted, they'll offer a paltry amount of reparations, maybe a couple hundred million or so but not much, to fix some of the stuff in Western Ukraine that they destroyed.
The rest of the rebuilding, hundreds of billions of dollars worth, will be provided by the U.S. taxpayer in the form of lucrative government contracts that will enable unlimited opportunity for graft.
Yeah, they did a really good job "rebuilding" Chechnia!
