A ‘Word Cartoon’ by F(unny)MAN for the Saker Blog
Today, after some weeks on a Hospital recovering from a severe intoxication that almost killed me (1) and which have keep me between life and dead due to the secondary effects of such event (I mean the intoxication) the doctors found the medical solution to heal me, applied it and… voila 20 minutes later I am at home again reading that the US Government is preparing to give aid under the Lend and Lease Act to the Ukrainian Satrapy (AKA Country 404) in order to maintain it afloat, rebuild its army, and of course launch a counteroffensive that will push Russia beyond the Urals, and surely for 50 billion more, beyond the Kolyma Mountains.
Everybody knows that the Americans do this because they live in a country of abundance, a functional post scarcity society, where money is not an issue, and the Populus in general are only dedicated to their personal advancement thanks to education, philosophical and scientifical research, et cetera. A country where politicians only think on how to improve the wellbeing of their fellow countrymen, and work unstoppable to do it, no matter the costs…
uh oh … looks like another seizure… yes? No? No, false alarm. Just some after effects of the intoxication still.
As I said, 50 Billion Dollars! Any normal country can do quite a lot with that money! If it is only invested in the Army, then Hell! They can have an army as well equipped and efficient as some of the best armies(3) in the World
But, lets ask ourselves: what can a country like 404 do with such amount?
First, we must apply Mathematics to know how much of that 50 billions really get to 404. Yes sorry, it is another Essay with Mathematics, because they never lie.
For this we are going to apply a Formula:
R404 = B*(1-(f1+f2+f3+…+*fn))
Where the Terms are
R404 is the Real amount of MoneyMoneyMoney that the Country 404 really gets
B is the planned Lend and Lease amount to be throw away through the window given
fn are Reality Modifiers Factors such as:
f1 : Us Congressmen racket percentage, which vary between 3 and 50%
f2 : Financial handlers theft Fees; usually not smaller than 10%
f3 : 404 Congressmen bribery salary percentage, usually a Term called ATCS(4)
f4 : 404 Oligarchic shakedown Percentage, usually a Term called ATCSFWL(5)
f5 : Military Industrial Complex CRAP (6) brazen robbery Overpricing Factor
when the Formula is worked
R404 = 50.000.000.000*(1-(0,5*0,1*0,14*0,14*0,1) = 1000.000.000
R404 = 1 billion Dollars.
Taking into account the effectivity of such investments in past events (7) after some months the Country 404 should surely muster a 10 men Army, equipped with hundredths of (obsolete) Tanks, APC, Planes, Artillery systems, anti-tank and anti-air rocket launchers (no warranty that any of these functions properly) with millions of tons of ammo (no warranty to be the appropriate ones for the mentioned weapons before). Of these men, half of them in Ironman suits and the other half dressed in Batman suits… that would terrorize the Russian people, Army soldiers, general Shoigu, minister Lavrov and Pres. Putin himself. And that would revert the Tide of Russian Hordes, destroying them in the process, and reach the Urals (and surely for 50 billion more, even reach the Kolyma Mountains as mentioned before)
Meanwhile, in Country 404, elites(8) and whomever can, is trying to leave the country to survive the reckoning in perspective.
In the US… same Shit as every day.
- The intoxication was caused accidentally when my television entered in a Zapping Cycle which exposed me to MSM reporting of the Events in Ukraine for about 4 minutes. Watching the News of CNN, BBC, CNBC, and such started a process of severe laughing that combined with the brain seizures were almost mortal.
- The medical solution has been around for quite a long time, it is a product that taken in small (or big, it doesn’t really matter) quantities makes you immune to Covid, poisoning, dementia and other maladies. Fact is, it makes you immortal! The Product is the (in)famous NOVICHOK. As all those who have taken it can testify about its efficiency.
- Best armies in the world with a budget close to 50 billion annually.
Reader Discretion is advised, this information about the best armies can cause severe laughing, and diarrhea once understood.
- La France ca. 56 billion annual budget
- Das Germany ca. 56 billion annual budget
- Saudi Barbaria ca. 55 billion annual budget
- Japan ca. 54 billion annual budget
- South Korea ca. 50 billion annual budget
- ATCS = All They Can Steal
- ATCSFWL= All They Can Steal From What is Left
Please Note that ATCS and ATCSFWL are interchangeable and have a mathematical tendence to be as high as possible percentually, and catch me if you can.
- The products of the Military Industrial Complex, also known as CRAP, an Acronym for Concoptions Really Absurdly (over)Priced. As effective as those charlatan potions for hair growing,
Wart removers and various maladies alleviators, et al. Sold in the Far West in the nineteen century. - The 5 Syrian Rebels… yes, those trained for 500 million Dollars.
- By elites we all know I am referring to those oligarchs, politicians, and banderites that have done an ATCS or ATCSFWL to improve their personal advancement as exiles in other countries.
After Donbas accedes to the Russian Federation and Galicia is annexed by Poland, who will be left to use the $ 50 billion or whatever makes to the former Ukraine ?
Using is easy, repaying not so much.
Ever tried spending $1 million? I tell you its not easy.
Its a hell of queries, bid requests, meetings, factory control, QA papers, guarantees, insurances, invoices, book keeping, accounting, VAT and tax reporting,
Make sure you pay income tax first. Then you can claim money is already taxed. Then tell it is consumption = no reporting
Note that 50 billion bill appeared just in time when inevitable collapse of Ukrainian forces reach the heads of US establishment.
It is too late to help Ukraine, but I am sure it will be collected by Biden and friends. This is bailout for those who would othervise lost their investments in Ukraine biolabs, GMO agriculture and fracking. US taxpayers would never agree to cover loses if not sugarcoated as helping poor Ukrainians.
Initial 33 billions was sum that Biden actualy needed, the rest is cut of US political class demanded for themselves to pass the bill.
$50B could buy 500 desalination plants, $5B cans of baby food, $5M free tuitions at a state university, etc. The reality is that the $50B is in name only, since the depreciated cost of the mostly obsolete weapons would be a fraction of the overall cost. Nevertheless, the USA is obviously choosing guns over butter if it decides to replace those weapons with new ones.
The funding still hasn’t passed the Senate, so if there is even a two-week delay the measure could be totally OBE.
All this money wont even leave US… Maybe US will annex ukraine… Stonks!
Galicia will not be annexed by Poland. And, if the Poland will insist, than Poland will be attached to Galicia.
But the and already paid it – with all the golden treasure and such of museums un 2014, that was transported fron Ukraine to safeguarding in U.S.
Which is just right- so it cannot be luted. Well, indeed, it will never be returned, bu who cares.
not to make fun of your statement – so it cannot be luted. I sure you meant looted bt the wrd luted sounds just right

here is a youngster in Lviv who knows something about Higher Order Derivatives (calculus) :
Ukrainians urged Putin to bomb customs in Lviv
https://readovka.news/news/96941
Quote :
Instead of such a “long-awaited” military assistance from the West, dozens of luxury cars have been spotted at the Lviv customs. Despite the fact that, according to the authorities, they are allegedly going for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lviv residents do not believe this at all.
“Putin, if you want [to strike], throw a bomb – throw here, I will give the coordinates!”, – says the Ukrainian.
…
Notice the Higher Order Derivatives of High End autos start out as tanks and turn up as Skodas, Audi’s and Mercs.
It is one thing to ATCS , quite another to turn depleted Uranium into Gold. The Oligarchs are onto something.
Give coordinates – I send.
P.
in Soviet Ukraine, you call to President Putin of Mother Russia to bomb your own government.
As S. R. Hadden told Dr. Arroway in the movie Contact, why fund just one project when for 2 times as much money you can fund 2?
The $40 billion held up for now by Senator Rand, is just until Sep. 2022, when the whole thing starts over again, making $80 billion in 1 year alone.

R404 needs a further force-multiplier factor?
The Russian Federation spans 11 time zones and sits atop 1/4 to 1/3 of the world’s resources……if they can hold on to what they have. Their impetus should now be to add value to those resources and not just extract them., and to avoid another interation of the early 1990s when Jeff Sachs and his IMF boys were parachuted in to install a chit system and sell off Russia’s vast resources to the usual suspects. Maybe some introspection is in order. Why are there 1000 McDonalds and 100 Starbucks in Russia….this stuff is unfit for porcines? Why is the ukie power grid still up and the lights / internet still on? And lastly, if you have 1500 thermonuclear warheads atop reliable delivery systems, why are the globohomos allowed to roll up on Russian borders? Maybe a demonstration is needed.
McDonald’s in Russia is now Uncle Vanya, after they struck tent.
I’m pretty sure the new menu is better, although I agree with Trump McD’s burgers are not bad.
Looks like McD wants back in the game.

I have to say that mr. Zhirinovsky, I admired his intelligent, speaking way way long ago (in 1999) that USSA-NATO will try again to open front encircling Russia.

All the behavior that the West showed us today is come to no surprised since USA itself had planned to Nuke USSR right after the WW2 ends. Surely, The Russian Military and Leaders exactly understand well the nature of the west, so they wait, I believe Andrei already told us that, every empire is dying, so does US empire, it is dying, and dead finally right on january 2020. Generally speaking, Russia already demonstrated more than enough fire-power capable of sending US continent back to primordial age since 2015, the beginning of Russia involvement into Syrian war. So it was the US that neglect Russian security need ever since NATO expansion, and it is too bad that Russia is rising up and now US is sinking, they must face the Karma, and Karma is a bitch. Russia will respond to USA-NATO war invitation, the Russian Way, Revenge is a dish best served cold as they say.
Too much casual talk about nuclear war.
Watch “Threads”, BBC, and see how you feel then.
As I see it, Russia is slowly but surely go stronger and stronger in the right direction. In my opinion West doesnt stand a chance.
The only thing that can sell Russia is the usual 5’th column bought suspects. Like the way the Pakistan PM was kicked out from the job This is a real threat, we see attempts and pressure popping up all the time.
Maybe they can lend lease some design ideas to the Finnish Air Force too. For it seems in 2020 they finally took the Swastika design from their emblem.Though I’m not sure why. I figure it would fit in quite well with their new NATO allies.
Now I’m sure their argument was that it was an old historical design.Not really associated with the nazis. But there is no way that after WW2,anyone didn’t know what that symbol brought to mind. The fact that they didn’t change it until 2020 when they were probably starting to plot joining NATO ,says everything we need to know about Finland:
It turned out that the swastika was the symbol of the Finnish Air Force until 2020. They removed it quietly and without announcements. But in vain – so they would join NATO with her.

I would guess about 45B$ for US MIC , a few B$ for ukroligarks and not much BS left for the Ukrainian people.
Human shield and cannon fodder are quite real although perishable.
If you could just make that xtra step – it is not, that they are dispensable, it is the AIM to dispense them in order for the new settlers and such.
If you can just make Your mind to jump that last gear – all these “crazy” and apparently random suicidal moves fall in line.
It suddenly all makes sense.
The ducks line up.
Don’t forget the extra loop where the billions to MIC in turn feed millions of dollars back into congressional campaigns so they can vote that we don’t need no education and that all money must flow to the military. Nurses and teachers must starve so that we can send billions to Ukraine. That is because the nurses and teachers don’t have those billions of dollars to ‘donate’ (aka ‘bribe’) the Congress. Its a self-feeding loop, leading to fat alligators in the swamp.
The Russian MOD has been pointing this loop out with regard to the Democrats and bio-weapons. But, the loop is quite common across The Best Democracy That Money Can Buy.
If you want to follow the C part of MICIMATT, here’s tool for ‘defense’ donations to Congress. But remember, ever since first Clinton and then Obama finished off the last of the post-Watergate democracy reforms, an increasing amount of money can flow to elections via ‘dark’ channels and thus are not in this database.

Bet you can’t guess the number one Senator in 2020 in Merchant of Death donations? Its Bernie Sanders. That is highly likely to be a lot of F-35 money flowing in, as Ben-and-Jerry Land is IIRC, a key state for producing those planes and money has flowed and Bernie has been in favor for a long, long time. You didn’t think that $100 mil per plane price tag only bought planes, did ya?

“For this we are going to apply a Formula:

Genius.
You are right that in practice it’s too much money, and additionally in too short a time. Money affects attitudes, interpretations, understandings, evaluations, you name it. Who wants to be seriously in charge of stopping all those problems for all this money? Dangerous job, even? More money in less than three months than all of Russia’s yearly defense budget that funds even new hypersonic weapons… And is it for a government ranked among the most ‘honest’ governments in the world, or one of the most ‘corrupt’ in the world? You don’t say. Come to think of it, maybe it’s true that Russia wants to go slow, take its time, find out what else might happen.
That’s what I love about the Russian mind: unflappable and always grounded in solid mathematical precision!
Is our author Russian? Your comment surpassed him.
no, I am unfortunatelly not Russian…
oh!, I wish I were…
Some have Russian children ;).
Do not worry, Russians fully understand Calculus, nonlinear dynamics, and Ukrainians too!
Problem is D.C. are still stuck in algebra. See above!
More like progressive math. One for you, two for me. One for you, the for me. One for you, four for me… Oh wait, here’s a couple for the big guy.
Bismarck: ” The Russians are slow to harness but quick to ride.”
The good news is that the Ukraine, or whatever is left of the Ukraine, will be obligated to that debt, all $50 billion. When it cannot pay it, it will be refinanced with the help of the world bank an IMF. The new loan with commissions, paperwork plus unpaid interest will be $70 billion. The refinance will avert default but will ensure the continued looting of Ukrainian resources, farm products, women and children. With austerity programs, extended working age to 70+, zero social safety net. The Ukraine will implode.
At that point the US taxpayer will be surreptitiously given the responsibility to repay the debt including all fees and interest.
$70+ billion will become $100 billion.
just one more boondoggle that finances the lifestyles of the rich and criminal
If we’re buying Ukraine, great, but I don’t think it goes that way.
W=t1+t2+U7+C1D1000+R7
Wrong = To think Ukraine can defeat Russia.
Good news as you say if “Ukraine” is there to pay it. We know Russia won’t. How many think that Ukraine would pay even half of it? Russia paid its WWII Land lease help (I read)! Why did it do that!
It also paid off Ukraine’s part of the debt. Russia did it unlike the scum, thieves and criminals in the west. People referring to Ukraine must understand that you are talking about Western Ukraine.
Eastern Ukraine will be Russian or at least under the complete protection of Russia. Do not forget that billions was pumped into western Ukraine prior to this bill 40 billion. How soon people forget how much money is going down the sewer.
The fact that it will Materialize or not is not the point. The fact is that all that money can go to Ukraine and not the American people is!
Poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, lack of education/healthcare/housing and crumbling infrastructure to name a few.
So keep watching Hollywood, Netflicks, America got talent etc and keep thinking that: ” God bless America”.
So, a Putin ‘win’ saves future generations of American taxpayers $100,000,000,000.00 (plus compounding interest as this of course will need to be borrowed.)

The Real Reason Behind the EU’s Drive to Embargo Russian Oil
https://tomluongo.me/2022/05/12/real-reason-behind-eu-embargo-russia-oil/
…
But the bigger question is whether or not this conflict escalates to the point where winning is an irrelevant concept. When you see a bloc as powerful as the European Union willing to commit acts of domestic vandalism this big—and blaming the victim of their unbridled aggression—it tells you we are far past the point of rational settlement.
…
EU domestic vandalism against its own population and that this policy, Davos made, is actually European is key.
Longo, like all other hyper-capitalists, use the “Malthus” argument to hide engaging in a rational discussion of how “perpetual growth on a finite planet” is even possible. I’m in no way in support of the Davos crowd, far from it (I’m f-ing here!), but it is disingenuous to dismiss the easy math on this. Now, what people want to do in order to”solve”/”come to grips” with this issue IS the matter, and one that I will never push any solution to. Davos pushes a solution (total control/centralized management), hyper-capitalists believe that embracing infinite growth will somehow always work out (well, it will, but not as though these people imagine- they’re likely also in the upper-crust, those who can afford “backup plans”). BOTH positions can be swatted away with simple math (ditch name-calling and argue like a man!). Anyway…
YES, Virginia, all wars are abut resources. If resources were infinite then there would be very little reason to risk life over acquiring more of what you already have (and always would have) plenty of.
Not unfamiliar with a the concepts up above.
Resource management is life itself. Some do it better, some they wont survive.
…and they know it…😎
Capitalists advocate no such thing.
Capitalism: you own your property and keep your promises.
That’s it.
Most of what progressives describe as capitalism is simply progressivism-lite. Do not fall into their framework
I find the exclusion of England in the above list highly offensive and insulting.
Our MOD budget last year was £42.4 billion (that’s pound sterling, best currency in the world) and our entire armed forces (best in the world) could fit into Wembley Stadium (best in the world)- which took 7 years to rebuild (best construction workers in the world).
Global Britain is on the march. BoJo and Liz Truss say so (best tories in the world). We’re also going to take NATO global (best defensive military peace keeping force in the world).
Ignore England (best food banks in the world) at your peril, the sun (best star in the Universe) will never set in our reinvigorated empire (best in the world, ever).
Now some of the very best US Congressmen are visiting the UK to wonder in awe at BoJo’s handling of the very best Border in the World with the EU, and maybe wonder at what happened to the very best F35’s on the very best aircraft carrier HMS QE.
The NI Protocol is the best protocol in the world. Even maritime sea life respect the invisible line in the Irish Sea (not the best sea in the world because it’s not called the British Sea). But that will change when Global Britain bares it’s teeth, recolonise Ireland, packs the Micks off to Boston and replace them with blonde hair, blue eyed Ukron racists, sorry refugees (best refugees in the world) to clean the toilets in Tesco (best supermarket in the world).
And there was I thinking BoJo would send the refugees to Rwanda, that best of all genocide killing fields.

Its now been a couple of decades since I used the parental obscenity controls to block all of the American ‘news’ channels from my home. If the providers are going to provide tools for the blocking of such obscenity, then I am going to put it to good use.
When I did it, I was sick and tired of hearing them tell me about Saddam’s WMD’s. I have a technical education in one of those areas, so I knew they were lying, at least in that area. What I got tired of was that I was constantly arguing with the heads in the TV box about the lies they were telling. I decided to lower my blood pressure and block them from my home.
Even worse, I found myself repeating some of their lies in areas where I did not have technical knowledge. This came from the story before or the story after the story I was arguing with because I knew it was packed with lies. Later, I’d hear myself repeating some of those other lies from other stories. Even when, if I stopped and really thought about it, I’d been opposed to those ideas for my entire adult lifetime. That’s the danger of letting such a flow of obscenity into your home. You hear the obscenity later come out of your own mouth even if your mind is saying ‘whaaat?’ listening to what you are saying.
I was willing to trade knowledge of the world for peace of mind and lower blood pressure. But, it didn’t work out that way. The blood pressure is lower, and the mind is more peaceful …. but I am more knowledgeable about the world than before. It turns out, it was more work trying to remove the lies that got into your head, than it is to just block them, so now that I no longer have to work so hard to get the lies out of my head, I have more time to become more knowledgeable.
Turn them off!
Its magic. They lose all of their power when you … turn … them … off!
And most TV systems thoughtfully give parents the tools to block unwanted obscenities.
Henry, your post threw new light on this advice from my favourite modern philosopher:
“Be very careful what you take into yourself” — Karl Jaspers, The Way to Wisdom.
It’s just another bailout, like the mortgage crisis where the “too big to fail” banks were (and still are) flooded with money. $33b, $40b, $50b – these hoes fall over themselves when it comes to throwing money at their pimps. We have the very best government that money can buy.
‘US aid’ is an oxymoron. It comes as a loan with interest, and can only be spent on US systems with a small amount reserved for bribing various foreign officials. Reference Tony Perkins ‘Confessions of an Economic Hit Man’.
After the big banks, it was the turn of the big pharma and now it is the turn of the arms industry.
One will have to admire how they have perfected the art of working the $ printing press to their advantage.
Ever since Reagan, when has it not been the turn of the arms industry?
These days, Congress regularly gives more than requested to the Pentagon, who knows how much to the CIA?
To anyone who’s ever filled out a budget request in any organization, getting more than requested is unheard of. Usually the game is that you ask for twice of what you need so that if you are lucky you might get half of that. When the ‘arms industry’ asks for twice of what they need, the Congress says, here, take even more, lots more, lots and lots more. This has been true for quite some time now. Words like ‘inflation’ and ‘deficit’ are banned from the Senate Floor when the debate is on funding the military (aka, the arms industry, because military pay still sucks — it ain’t the soldiers getting rich)
Lend Lease means Ukraine is supposed to pay back everything spent in her benefit. This means leased tanks that get blown up on the first day count against Ukraine. The plan is to create a claim on her oil and wheat. Predatory lending at the super pro level.
“A debt that can’t be repaid, won’t be repaid.” When Ukraine defaults on dollar debts, other countries may follow suit.
When You understand even the edges of the grift…
You getting angry yet???
I is…seething.
You have no clue.
It looks like there is a quarrel beween the parties for the factor
f1 : Us Congressmen racket percentage, which vary between 3 and 50%
and the factors
f3 : 404 Congressmen bribery salary percentage, usually a Term called ATCS(4) and
f4 : 404 Oligarchic shakedown Percentage, usually a Term called ATCSFWL(5)

—-Congressman Goetz: billions of dollars allocated by the Americans to Ukraine will be plundered
Ukrainian functionaries will plunder the $40 billion that the United States allocated to Kyiv as military aid, Republican Congressman Matt Goetz is convinced.
According to him, due to total corruption in Ukraine, all allocated funds will end up in the pockets of unscrupulous officials. He noted that the United States is gradually sliding into a war, but ordinary people do not understand this.
“Just a year ago, we were defeated by shepherds with rifles (in Afghanistan. – Approx. ed.). Now we are rushing into battle with a power that has six thousand nuclear warheads, ”says Goetz.
It should be noted that at the end of last month, American leader Joe Biden asked Congress to allocate $33 billion for the Ukrainian army. A few days later, the legislature announced the need to increase this amount to 40 billion.—–

The rapacious are NOT going to give up ANY of their ill-gotten gains without a significant struggle. The lives of those they despise will certainly “be a price worth paying” per Madeleinie Allbright . . . . .
In any country, the newborn babies are the most vulnerable. You can get an idea of how a country is doing by looking at how well protected babies are.
Today, in the USA, there is a shortage of baby formula (baby milk in powder). This shows that the US industry lacks redundancy – when one factory has a problem, there is no spare capacity in other factories to take up the slack. This also shows poverty is creeping in; because the US is not in a position to buy baby formula in the international market.
Do You think this phenomena is by managerial incompetence or by design?
98% of baby formula is made in Americaargh…..and there’s a nationwide shortage?!
That’s like Scotland declaring there’s a nationwide shortage of Whisky.
What a shitfest…
The US government has the anti-King Midas touch. Everything they touch turns to shit.
Really perfectly written piece. Long time I didn’t had this kind of intoxication. Superb work !!
I think the latest “big” fake news story from Ukraine about the alleged failed Russian bridge crossing, is related to the lend-lease program. Here’s exactly why I know it is a fake, and how it ties into the military industrial complex.

Or in other words, left hand will reach into the left pants pocket, take out the money and give to right hand. The right hand will put it in the right hand pocket. :)
The footnote links don’t work
after 3. there is an edition failure, should come 4. 5. etc… in successive order.
for example, instead of
“1. ATCS = All They Can Steal”
it should be
“4- ATCS = All They Can Steal”
“2. ATCSFWL= All They Can Steal From What is Left”
it should be
“5. ATCSFWL= All They Can Steal From What is Left
etc… but, it is understandable.
I agree with this article, so much money from the tax payers to be spent on an evil war, instead of spending it on treating and curing cancer for free for poor people. For instance, the revolutionary anti-war activist Tom Feeley the owner of Information Clearinghouse news site has a leukemia problem and if USA had a free medical care system, he would be cured already. The USA needs a war but a civil internal war, between 2 sectors, (An oligarchic sector represented by The Democratic Party and The Republican Party, and an anti-oligarchic sector represented by anti-war activists, leftists, anti-war libertarians and pro small and medium business capitalist progressives
It would have been the best for US lunatics to pay Russia to provide weapons to Ukraine. Monthy Paytons at its best!
I am from and living in the US and usually steer clear of the MSM. Only time I give it any attention is to see what type of propaganda they are trying to sell at the moment.
Anyway this last week I was hospitalized where there were not many options on what to watch on the TV and didn’t have anything to read. So for the first time in awhile watched quite a bit of MSM news.
Absolutely mind blowing the bs being spewed on the major news networks here in the US against Russia in regards to Ukraine and in regards to Russia trying to take over the universe one steel plant at a time. Scary part is that it appears many people here in the US are fully believing what’s being reported on the MSM news networks. Its comedically tragic.
God bless those fighting on the side of truth. The other side is probably more interested in the following…

Funny as sh#t but sadly all of it is true true.
Nice use of the Drake Equation, showing there is no [ethical+intelligent] life in DC.
Well done bro.
Thx…
itis not exactly the Drake equation, but similar…
we can call it the “Raket Equation”
what they really want to do with this money is steal all of it…
the bill to be paid in the future by US Taxpayers or (What is left of) Ukraine
It was a Ukrainian living in Irkutsk who introduced me to the joys of Anti-Grustin, which could be purchased at any local kiosk in bottles with labels such as “Stolichnaya.” Beats the heck out of the televisor, and leaves no headache the next day.
