One thought on “It’s too bad Lindsey Graham wasn’t cast as Count de Monet’s piss boy”
The Ukraine War is being perpetuated now only for the pathetic reason that the Western rulers desperately need Ukraine to pay back the money loaned to them for the war, which means Ukraine needs to be bailed out with more new taxpayer loans to pay back the old loans lent to them… the ultimate Ponzi scheme! If Ukraine ceases to exist, or becomes a failed state that can never pay anything back or ever be anything worth seizing, that money is never coming back! But our gambling-addicted leaders are hoping the next hand pays off! They’ve bet our lives on the next card flip and are all-in!
“Ukraine is bankrupt and can’t even pretend that it’s going to repay all of its massive war-related debts after defeating the Russians. The economic collapse of the Ukrainian government will lead to a political collapse and the military collapse of its armed forces; Russia’s increasingly rapid advances in the Donbass are in part due to the beginning stages of the latter. And the surrender of Ukraine may lead directly to the economic collapse of Britain as well as several countries inside the EU, most likely those most deeply invested in Ukraine, which includes the Baltics, Germany, and Poland.
28 August 2024: Game Over? Ukraine Announces Partial Halt to Payments on Its Gargantuan Debt
This is the genius of Putin’s patient multi-front attritional strategy and why he has an economist running the Russian Ministry of Defense. He never needed to bomb Britain or Berlin in order to comprehensively defeat them. And as for the USA, well, China and Iran are taking the lead with regards to the Clown World’s major stronghold.”
“ZeroHedge commented that the operation was, “A British Plan With British Weapons.” The leadership of Ukraine gave at least three unconvincing explanations for the incursion: (1) to improve Ukraine’s negotiating position vis-à-vis Russia; (2) to divert Russian forces from the Donbass front; and (3) to create a buffer zone inside Russia.
Neither explanation made much sense, but the move did create a window of opportunity for the West to talk up Ukraine’s great military success which could prove to be a turning point in the war. Wasting no time, on that same Tuesday, 6 August the European Council approved 4.2 billion euros in financial support for Ukraine. It would be the first regular payment out of the 50 billion euros financial aid package set aside for Ukraine by the European Union.
The European Council’s decision to approve the funds was based on the EU Commission’s assessment that Ukraine had satisfactorily fulfilled nine reform indicators related to the first regular quarterly payment. These conditions included the government’s public financial management, management of state-owned companies, business environment and energy and mine clearance.
It was unclear however, whether the European Commission was equally impressed by Ukraine’s credit rating downgrade and the government’s suspension of external debt repayments, but what is important is that somehow the decision was made, and the money was transferred to Ukraine without undue delay.
Tuesday, 13 August 2024: Ukraine receives EU funds
The European Commission transferred €4.2 billion to Ukraine as part of the first tranche of the Ukraine Facility program. I wonder who got paid first out of those funds.

“What’s peculiar about the British financial system is that the taxpayers are obliged to reimburse the Bank of England for any losses it sustains on its balance sheet assets. If the price of gilts on the bank’s balance sheet collapses, British taxpayers must cover those losses and make the bank whole. So, what kind of money are we talking about? As the the FT reported last July, the BOE has estimated it will require the Treasury to transfer a total of £150 billion by 2033 to cover expected losses on the central bank’s quantitative easing program.”
