So, Ursula is passing the hat for a further E70 Billion on top of the 90 billion.

What does this mean and where is the liability?

The way it works is that the EU borrows/issues bonds to lenders and pays the interest etc that Ukraine Cannot/does not pay which Ursula calls "Borowing cost subsidy". So the EU countries pay their interest.

Only when those loans/bonds come due and/or are defaulted on (Which Ukraine officials have already threatened they will default) will 160 billion be due,

Lets take a small EU country like Portugal (Who has never objected to this liability, as Bulgaria, Czechia, Slovakia have) Their rough EU obligation is 1.6% of the subsidy to pay the interest and in case of default, the 160 billion Euros.
Their interest subsidy costs are for 2027: roughly €10 million
Steady-state annual cost from ~2028: roughly €48 million per year.
= e.g. Roughly 700 extra Doctors hired to aleviate their 12-15 month waiting times.
But that is nothing when compared to ...

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.
