Long term Ukraine financing plan as outline by Reuters, "Ukraine’s $61 bln lifeline is not enough."

1. $61B is enough to get Ukraine to Nov. 2024 election. "the latest U.S. package...should see Kyiv through to about the end of next year."
2. Ukraine needs a medium-term funding plan, "Ukraine could run out of weapons again in late 2025."
3. Multi-year funding plan benefits: Insurance against US political swings, boost Ukraine morale, give MIC confidence, change Putin's calculations, and freeze conflict like N/S Korea.
4. Ukraine will need at least 88B Euros every year.
5. Capitalising interest payments of $320B with a bond backed by future interest rates and paying the proceeds to Ukraine "might raise 30 to 40B Euros...it will not be a game changer because it will fund Ukraine for less than half a year."
6. Main way to get money to Ukraine is $320B in Russian assets, "That would finance the war until at least the end of 2028."

👉Here is the important part:
7. $320B as a Syndicated Reparation Loan, "Ukraine would pledge its claim for reparations against Russia to a syndicate of its allies in return for a loan. If Moscow refused to pay the damages, the allies could use Russia’s frozen assets to pay off the loan."
8. "This in no way prejudges a much bigger funding package later."

Newest insight from Larry on Iran and some thoughts

My fellow Duranians,

The tensions in the Middle East are rising and now with day 10 coming to a close, the fighting still continues unabated as the world steers towards global catastrophe.
Who will bow down first and let diplomacy be done?
I pray that these atrocities end soon!

Fun poll: The Next and True Prime Minister of the Kingdom

With an average of 1.43 years / Prime Minister in office
"Larry The Cat" , Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office since 2011, has survived all of his servants in office of 10 Downing Street, because cats RULE !
Today marks His Royal Mouse- jesty´s :

15 years
5 Months &
5 Days

that Larry has been in office serving the people and capital.

Therefore I poll that Larry will continue to serve as the true covert Prime Minister of the UK.
How long will Larry condone this new servant named Andrew Burnham?
Will he (Burnham) survive the average if rounded 1.5 years or will Larry have his hat too?

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
