Voodoo G7 50 Billion Dollar Ukraine loan

Try and make sense of the hocus pocus arrangement for the 50 Billion “loan.” As if Ukraine will every pay it back. Ten years into the future to “Trump proof” the arrangement.

The US and Ukraine have signed a ten-year bilateral security agreement on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the pact would protect not just his country, but the world, from Russian aggression. G7 leaders also backed a multi-billion dollar deal to use the interest from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine strengthen its defenses and pay for reconstruction.

So says the notes to the  video.

A “Trump proof mechanism” in case Biden bites the dust in making sure WWIII remains on the table is more like it. So says the reporter in essence.

One more notch in threatening the dollar by confiscating Russian assets. Best stay our friends otherwise we may just seize your assets. This is what third world countries do.

Does anyone really believe Biden cooked up this nonsense?

Not what the Italian Prime Minister had in mind. she prefers a hand shake.

The best of the swamp.

The Face of the U.S. Ukraine Military Aid

 

Where are all those millions upon millions of U.S. Dollars going for in the war in Ukraine? How much ammo and weapons are being used and at what rate? For those of us who have not served in the military and no background, it is hard put a face on these expenditures. What does the future portend if this war continues and what will we be willing to continue to do and at what cost?

It may come as a shock as to the enormous amount of shelling that is taking place. We get glimpses of the end result of the damage. But it appears that our supply of guns and ammo is not limitless. Russia? That is another question and perhaps this piece will explain why Russia may be willing to make a deal with their devil – China, to sustain the war.

Germany Public TV DW puts a face on this aspect of the war. 

 

 

The best of the swamp. Then there is Lindsey Graham and the other Neo-cons.

State Department’s greatest hits: Kerry, Rice’s keen insight

A few of the greatest hits this week from our State Department. No doubt bubble face John should head the list. Sure we are safer now than ever before in the History of mankind. Something like that. And Bibi was a fool, and Ukraine just doesn’t get the joke.

 

Kerry voted for the Iraq war, before he was against it, but Bibi’s support shows his bad judgement. Bibi wasn’t even in office at the time.

Via Daily Beast:

Secretary of State John Kerry blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, claiming his support for the U.S. invasion of Iraq shows his judgment on Iran can’t be trusted. “The prime minister was profoundly forward-leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading Iraq under George W. Bush. We all know what happened with that decision,” Kerry said during a House hearing Wednesday. Of course, Kerry voted for the war in Iraq in 2002 and said he was for the invasion during his presidential campaign against George W. Bush in 2004.
