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."

Just watched Judge Nap's interview with Larry Johnson. There is evidence from sources inside the Pentagon who have stated that Pete Hegseth WATCHED the drone attacks take place on Russia. If true that means one of two things. Trump knew about it as it was happening or Pete did not tell him it was happening. If Pete did not tell him then Trump is NOT in control of the White House. If Pete did tell him Trump DELIBERATELY allowed the attack of the Russian Nuclear planes. That's an act of war. Again the fact that he has said NOTHING about the events in Russia tells me that he is a coward and a warmonger.

I don't listen to Steve Bannon that's my sister's thing. She knows all the people he talks about. Apparently he's pretty pissed about Lindsey Graham's trip to Kiev. And he appears to have said something similar to what I said this morning.

#Trump is in hot water. Why? Because he has said diddly and squat about what happened in Russia.

IT IS MY OPINION that Trump knew about it and was tacitly ok with it becaaaaause Putin was too uppity and wouldn't do what Trump wanted. So, he had to teach Putin a lesson...a lesson that he was "playing with fire".

I said this earlier. If I can figure this out and I'm nobody...don't you think Putin and his team have already figured it out and they have secure information...I just have my cotton head.

What is the end result? Nothing. No one will be investigated. Nothing will happen to the Widow McCain because he was acting on orders. Half of MAGA will not believe Trump did wrong.

Putin won't do anything obvious to alienate Trump...right now. He has a war to win. A tit for tat with Trump is pointless right now. But...Trump has proved he's not trustworthy and I doubt the Russians will deal with him anymore unless they absolutely have to. What he did was underhanded and ...

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.
