‘Pot Is Empty’ — Germany to End New Ukraine Military Aid Amid Berlin’s Budget Crunch: Report
Breitbart ^ | 08/17/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Germany has halted future aid to Ukraine amid Berlin’s budget struggles, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reports.

According to the FAZ report, all future requests from the Ministry of Defence for Ukraine aid will not be approved by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz as his leftist government seeks to cut costs to address the 12 billion euro budget shortfall.

The paper said, however, that most of the money and physical aid already allocated to be sent to Ukraine will continue to be sent. This year, some 8 billion euros have been earmarked for Kyiv, while next year an additional 4 billion has already been approved after aid was slashed in half for budgetary reasons.

WW3 is running out of other people’s money.

Well there was this article in the Western Media blaming Ukraine for blowing up their pipeline 2 years ago. Perhaps this is Germany’s answer...

Trouble is, here in America, the Walz Street “experts” don’t give a crap about any “Budget Crunch”. They just want all of America’s credit cards maxxed out.

They aren’t giving $25,000 to new home buyers

They aren’t writing off tuition?

They aren’t removing taxes on tips?

That’s why Ukraine had to invade Kursk. Capture as much land in Russia as they can before they’ll negotiate with Putin to end the war.

And here I thought Deutschland was getting no shortage of free, wind generated electricity that they could tax for government profit.

Capturing is not holding. The Ukies lost all the land they captured in their disastrous summer campaign. All of it, for what?

They are getting absolutely butt raped by Vlads FAB’s , Kinzhals, artillery. Their supply lines getting chewed up, no Sustainability. Get back with us in two weeks.

Russian propaganda.

Conscripts and Chechens are defending the territory in Kursk. The main Russian army is in Ukraine.

Kind of hard to justify giving welfare to a country that you are blaming for destroying your economy.

Do you think this is wrapping up?

I am wondering if Kursk isn’t just a desperate effort by Zelensky to look like he is doing something - like everyone knows that the gravy train is leaving town.

I doubt there will be much negotiation.

Russia wants to keep Ukraine as a buffer, as it was always intended to be - since it was created in NINETEEN NINETY ONE... by Russians.

As it stands now, the globalists, grifters and gays aren’t in a very good place for negotiating. They and our intel people wanted a FAFO playground and got one.

In response, Russia just moved its border slightly to the left, and will likely just stay there.

Kursk is fundraising stunt.

Yeah, but the Russians won’t negotiate until they remove the Ukes in Kursk. It won’t be pretty.

Haven’t negotiations shut down now though? And Russia is pushing further toward Pokrovsk (major Uke logistics point). I’m in wait-and-see mode for now, but this might turn into a major blunder for the Ukes

Germany has had socialist governments since at least 1933.
