Until June 1944, the United States, the most powerful industrial power of the Second World War, had made the main contribution to the battle against Nazism in Europe through the courage of its pilots and Lend-Lease. Lend-lease was a special program authorized by the White House to supply military and civilian aid to America’s foreign allies, which assumed that whatever of those deliveries survived by the time the war was over, would either be returned or paid for by the recipients. Britain received $31 billion worth of military goods (around $400 billion in today’s prices), while the Soviet Union received similar assistance to the tune of $11 billion (140 billion). This assistance was vitally important for the British, who were losing the Battle of the Atlantic, and also for the USSR in the first year of the war, when this country suffered significant losses. However, shortly after the war, the issue of payment arose for the US-supplied military equipment that had not been destroyed in battle, and which had saved the lives of many US soldiers who had avoided direct participation in the war. The exact sum was negotiated for several years, and was repaid only during the 2000s. However, being a great power, which had made the main contribution to the allied victory over Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union could afford not to agree with the conditions put forward by the United States.
Unfortunately for Ukraine, however, it is not even a regional power, looked down on by its Polish and Hungarian neighbors, let alone Washington. Therefore, the modern-day lend-lease program invented for Kiev is provided on different conditions. The Zelensky government is getting more and more “military gifts” from the West, forgetting that it will have to pay for every Javelin rocket, every box of cartridges and every howitzer shell. Unless, of course, there will be someone left to pay after the Russian army, which is slowly but surely advancing in Donbass, has destroyed what has remained of the combat-ready Ukrainian forces, and starts storming the big cities.
That said, someone will still have to pay for the work being done on a round-the-clock basis by Bulgarian arms factories, which are the only ones capable of supplying Soviet-style weapons to Ukraine. Add to this the paycheck for the work of Belgian, US and British gunsmiths, highly paid instructors from NATO countries, for the supply of medicines and food, most of which is not provided on a pro bono basis. Therefore, in the event of an “honorable peace with Russia,” Ukraine will face multimillion-dollar debts. After all, it lacks the status that the Soviet Union enjoyed in 1945, so the Kiev regime will accept any conditions that would allow the current Ukrainian elite to stay in power.
This means that the current lend-lease system for Ukraine is fundamentally different from the one we had during World War II. The United States and Britain are ready to support both radical Islamic groups and Ukrainian neo-Nazis both of whom are complicit in war crimes. Their shared goal is to weaken Russia and make it more compliant. At the same time, unlike the semi-terrorist groups active in the Middle East, Kiev is potentially able to pay for the supplied weapons. The main goal is to save the territories and then start making people pay the bill by freezing their bank deposits for “restoration” purposes, confiscating their foreign currency assets, selling off forests and subsoil – something that was actively done already before the war. If the people of a country impoverished by war are no longer able to pay jacked up direct taxes, no problem – they will have to pay indirectly via excise taxes. As a result, many European and American businessmen will receive a multi-year annuity to be paid for by ordinary Ukrainians.
Moreover, millions of Ukrainian refugees will be brought back home and start earning their living instead of just spending Ukrainian money. As a result, the average Ukrainian citizen, convinced by propaganda that despite the loss of Mariupol, Nikolayev, Odessa, Kherson, and possibly Kharkov and Chernigov, he has won the war, will have to pay, along with his children and grandchildren, the multibillion-dollar “war debt,” while occasionally wondering why he has to cough up so much for utilities and electricity.
The Ukrainian authorities now have to make the people believe that there is still free cheese in the mousetrap. At the same time, they keep offering the NATO countries to sell rather than donate weapons to Ukraine, even though the government was unable to fully meet its defense spending targets even before the war actually broke out. However, ordinary Ukrainians, both in the rear or at the frontlines, sincerely believe that their country is getting everything, from the latest anti-aircraft systems to body armor, just for free. This is not so, of course, but they will never be allowed to see numerous agreements on military supply payments, which are so easy to keep under wraps as “confidential.”
Once the war is over, there will be numerous conferences held on payment “restructuring” issues, which will leave many ordinary people wondering how come they are going to pay for decades for this “selfless help.” Well, their compatriots, who will end up on the territories that Russia will occupy, will also face hard times having to build new roads, rebuild cities and get high-speed trains rolling again. And the average citizen, who “saved” Ukraine will be told by the media day in and day out that the main cause of his troubles are the Russians, who have snapped up the country’s most fertile lands and money-making factories. Meanwhile, it is the neo-lend-lease that is going to be the true cause of all his troubles…
This article is about lending and leasing, so I suppose my comment is on-topic. According to today’s RT News, Finland just seized (stole) $46 million worth of Russian art that was on loan to European museums and was in the process of being returned. It just doesn’t get any lower than this.
Good that Finland show their thief face.
Russia gave back to Spanish Prado museum some very important paintings at the beginning of the war.
Against we have a confirmation of where the ethic lives and where not.
All my support to Russia from the West
When you think about it, Western elites have never really known anything other than theft and enslavement.
My heart will beat for Russia. Now more than ever.
There will be no wars if profit motive is eradicated. I recommend reading in your spare a classic by Smedley Butler. I wish there were people of this wisdom among the contemporary warmongers. Suffice to read only Chapter 4 (though the whole book is a masterpiece) with 3 conditions to nip in the bud every war or in his words “how to smash the war racket”:
1.” It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war”…….sounds familiar? MIC would be unhappy big time if this is put into effect,
2. “Another step necessary in this flight to smash the war racket is a limited plebiscite to determine whether war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and the dying”,………..I would add that among those sent to war should be also relatives of all beneficiaries of the war effort. I believe by “having skin in the game” they would have to think twice about what is more important: life of their relatives or profit,
3. “A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only”
So simple, but so hard to implement…………Greed and fear, fear and greed……….human nature is eternally invariable
http://kether.com/words/butler-smedley–war-is-a-racket-1.pdf
The simplest solution I can think of – those that make the decision to go to war are the ones who have to fight and die – therefore no more wars!
These acts are intentional provocations.
Usually it is promulgated by some local asset. The Government is then forced to support it /in front of the media/.
Russia will be forced to react in turn. And that reaction will be ex-post legally used as the official argument for the action which premeditated it. Loop closed.
This is tried and true method how to pull 3rd parties into a conflict – have an insider stage a provocation forcing the Gov to go along. This is why allowing the US to control your media is so dangerous. They can for you to do things which you would not even contemplate and make it LOOK LIKE it was a grassroots development.
They’re just carrying on a long Nazi tradition.

Finland will have to pay these paintings back with heavy fines later on. Very very unwise decision and act.
I suppose Finland will join NATO to get al lthe obvious benefits NATO confers on its members!!!
Very interesting article. I am going to take a guess and say that the west will steal the money from the Russian foreign exchange reserves held in western banks to pay for the war and any reconstruction. Criminal behaviour.
Lend-lease was a special program authorized by the White House to supply military and civilian aid to America’s foreign allies, which assumed that whatever of those deliveries survived by the time the war was over, would either be returned or paid for by the recipients.
I do not know the facts of the matter, but prima facie and logically, that does not seem as though it could be correct. As stated, it seems to imply that used ammunition need not be paid for, and that assets destroyed in combat need not be paid for, which I would assume in both cases not to be correct. If that were the case, Britain and the Soviet Union could simply return any surviving assets, and thereby be clear of any liabilities – which would seem to be a utopian position from their point of view. On the contrary, my assumption is that all assets supplied would bave to be paid for, possibly excepting those that could be returned after the war (of which probably very few).
I know for a fact that Churchill expected the US to write off most of the debts, and was shocked when they refused; and I know for a fact that the debts were debilitating for Britain. Then again, if you choose to rely on the US for support, what do you expect?
….he exact sum was negotiated for several years, and was repaid only during the 2000s. However, being a great power, which had made the main contribution to the allied victory over Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union could afford not to agree with the conditions put forward by the United States……
Who repaid and how much and over what time ? Fascinating
the exact sum was negotiated for several years, and was repaid only during the 2000s.
One might read that as suggesting that Britain casually waited until they were well-off and then paid, but it was not like that. The US demanded the absolute maximum, and the British people were paying sweat and tears the entire period (at least, the early part involved hardship but the late part not). I think the actual regular payments made by taxpayers went into a national fund, the capital repayments would have been long term.
I know the Soviets repaid all agreed debts in full; what they had managed to negotiate after the end of the war I have no idea, but the implication that the US was more lenient on them than on the British seems unlikely.
Some editing of this article would be in order, I think …
Is not that the US was more lenient on Soviet Union than on Great Britain.
Is that the US could not impose to the Soviet Union the payment but they could impose it to Great Britain
Maybe Roosevelt had a soft spot for Stalin but couldn’t stomach the overweight British dude blowing cigar smoke in his face despite him being ill.
Who was blowing smoke?
See: https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/winston-churchill-franklin-roosevelt-and-joseph-stalin-together-after-picture-id515298948?k=6&m=515298948&s=612×612&w=0&h=wHCCqyxkEn2KlJIRsLr2F82v7o5KESkhow6PO8lKhFk=
Two other related facts.
1. When Britain abolished slavery, sometime around the 1830 ‘s or so it borrowed a sum of money equivalent to somewhere in the region of between 30% – 40% of its GDP at the time to pay financial reparations not to slaves but to the British families who had owned slaves. Former UK PM David Cameron’s family were recipients of this largess – paid for by generations of taxpayers and workers up until the loan, with interest, was paid off around 2015.
2. The US Marshall plan – financial aid to a devastated European continent following WW2 – saw Britain receive more Marshall Aid than the defeated Germany. Yet despite this the German economy in the period following that conflict did a lot better than a UK which pissed so much of that aid up against the wall trying to maintain military bases in the Far and Near East (Singapore, Malaysia, Aden (Yemen), Hong Kong, Cyprus and even Belize in Central America) rather than properly invest in rebuilding and modernising its own industry..
The Americans entered ww11 not only to defeat Germany, but also the British Empire. Same today, they’re fighting Russia to defeat Germany & EU.
The Federal Reserve, holding inflated AAA+ junk paper on its books requires an income stream from its satrapies.
The sad UK Government will subject its downtrodden citizens to the mother-fucker of all austerity programmes through 2050 or eternity, whichever comes first.
How I learned to love the bomb.
So ,when can we expect an ‘accident’ to occur in that Bulgarian factory, to stop those arms-sales? The sooner the better.
Yes those vulgar Bulgarian pikers supplied IsIsrael & Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS- A’CIAd’uh) in Syria and Iraq. John McCain strong-armed those Bulgarians into declining Russia’s offer to build an energy transit hub with all the trimmings, forsaking generous discounted gas and the employment it would’ve created in the country.
Ukraine, Bulgaria, Baltics, Georgia, Poland , Czech, Slovenia and others are the ‘new Africans’ (who’ve seen the light or rather dark for the last century ) and slowly but surely are weaning themselves off the extortionate sugar-coated toxic loan pyramid system.
McCain was a huge loss for NATO. You wont see US Congressmen & Senators lining up for photo-shoots with HTS on the Turkish-Syrian border. Most of them however, including Pelosi & Rubio, are well invested in Defence stocks but wouldn’t saunter anywhere near the action.
As a result, many European and American businessmen will receive a multi-year annuity to be paid for by ordinary Ukrainians.
The author is badly in need of a reality check! Ukraine is losing not winning, and her sponsors the US and the EU are losing the war not winning. Therefore Ukraine’s position cannot be compared to those of Britain and the USSR after WWII – who apart from being impoverished were the war’s victors.
Rather, you need to think about war reparations to Russia and especially to the Donbass, including the cost of Russian munitions and hardware losses. Unlike the USA, Russia might conceivably write those costs off in the interests of the future development of a hopefully peaceful society; but the idea that European and American businesses will be receiving annuities for weapons used to kill Russiand is pure fantasy.
Since the Ukraine operation is in reality a war between Russia and the US/NATO, which the US/NATO are losing, it is primarily European and American businesses and taxpayers who will pay, rather than Ukrainians.
The most general agreement if that Russia will win the war annexing all East and South.
But there will be some kind of fanatic Nazi state in the West
Sid see “But there will be some kind of fanatic Nazi state in the West.”
My scientific wild donkey guess is:
1 the two breakaway republics and all the oblasts along the Black Sea coast will form a new Novy Rossiya, and after several years “may” ask to join Russia.
2 central area of the Ukraine will become the “new” Ukraine, but will be given a different moniker.
3 western area of the Ukraine will be thoroughly depopulated/denazified and Russia will enter into an agreement with China to farm and repopulate the area. Azov Nazis and Ash Can Nazis will not be welcome there. Russia will be responsible for border control and stand off military bases.
My opinions, and $5.00, will get ya a reasonable cup of coffee.
The war is never lost, until its over, then the victor writes the history of the war.
Its being played out that the west won and now what are the costs to Russia from losing?
But the proof of a loss has yet to be determined, so talk of the win is all one hears.
Are you insinuating war’s a racket, Sweet Home?
This time Delta House you’ve gone too far.
When my dear beloved Brit-sack-of-shit Pack are standing in a long line of countrywide soup-kitchens, I’ll interview them about winning the war.
The USA made the biggest contribution in the European theatre of war in WW2??
Ha ha, yes that was a big blooper! All the heavy lifting was done by the Soviet Union not the US. The US just sat back in their comfortable bomber pilot seats and bombed bombed bombed!
Unlike the US, the Soviet soldiers – after losing 27 million comrades in their deadly battle against nazism – fought house to house combat in the streets of Berlin. US just bombed from the skies, their losses were negligeable and their positive contribution extremely little compared to the Soviet Union.
As a result, many European and American businessmen will receive a multi-year annuity to be paid for by ordinary Ukrainians.
Far more likely, those European and American businesses will find themselves in the docks of the war tribunal for arming and supporting acts of genocide and war crimes by the Ukraine side.
Today it is called steal-lend. The stolen $300 billion of Russia’s reserves are being given to Ukraine – and must cover reconstruction, if there is any thing left to fix.
Pretty sure Ukrainians will never see a dollar.
Why did the Russians let the thief hold their money?
Because they could transfer all of them into Rubles, their own currency………………………..LOL.
300 billion for the entire eastern and southern parts of old Ukraine, complete access and control of the black sea, the gas fields, fertile farm lands and industrial factory in mariupol of the east.
Bargain I’d say
Back then the world used “money” that was a commodity (gold silver) and retained its valuable properties indefinitely.
Now we all use a “currency” that will NOT be “current” in the future.
Author seems to assume that the War is and will be limited to The Ukraine “theater”. The several positional papers by VVP and Xi strongly suggest that the “theater” is global and “denazification” is not limited by geography.
It’s explicitly WW3…global.
If that’s the case, there will be no “west” in the present sense left to demand payment.
Or, in principle, there will be no “east” to pay it.
“That said, someone will still have to pay for the work being done on a round-the-clock basis by Bulgarian arms factories, which are the only ones capable of supplying Soviet-style weapons to Ukraine. Add to this the paycheck for the work of Belgian, US and British gunsmiths, highly paid instructors from NATO countries, for the supply of medicines and food, most of which is not provided on a pro bono basis”
This article has several fatal assumptions..
(1) the Ukraine will exist after this war. This is “highly unlikely.” You cannot collect from an extinct colony.
(2) NATO gunsmiths will continue to exist shortly. Again, according to the logic and previously made statements of VVP, and the existential fight underway, this is an even wilder assumption. This war is more dangerous than ww2, with NATO today the Axis. Either one, NATO or Russia, will cease to exist at its end. All the Force and History is against NATO.
(3) highly paid NATO instructors will be around to collect. These rats didn’t have the sense to jump a sinking ship.
I could go on. For those who knew what coming, did they bother to calculate the cost to Ukrainians for Nazi “largesse” on the date of April 1944? Or were the reverse estimations being made then by diligent Soviet accountants?
So either way, it was the West’s last wasted gift to its colony the Ukraine. The West will cease to exist in current form, persistently troublesome Bulgarian smithies will be dealt with, the Ukraine will be denazified and dismembered with enemy claims void and irrelevant, and if current crazy trajectory is maintained, both the West and the Ukraine will cease to exist.
And can I have my five minutes back!

This time no more “mr nice guy”
Yes dear Mr P,
Thanks for your addition. We humans are creatures of habit. What is being born and must come is still unfathomable to the passionate majority. They have yet to reach the first Denial stage of grief, considering it a quaint local or regional tiff. The implications have yet to sink in.
Once R2P had been rejected and other UN moves for an expeditionary force blocked, and NATO was sent to Iraq and Afghanistan, it was clear switching to NATO was Plan B for the NWO cabal. It needed to expand everywhere. But for effectiveness and full spectrum dominance, the submission of Russia and China was required. And here we are, with a big war baked in for several decades.
Ambassador MK Badhrakumar hectors and attempts to instill this larger perspective in some of their narrow-minded Indian nomenklatura:
https://www.indianpunchline.com/indias-dilemma-over-west-vs-russia/
It feels, in spite of the remaining kinetic mop-up in the Ukraine, the real front has moved on and been dramatically expanded and is now focused on the degradation of Europe and on establishing the Golden Ruble. The real race in the West is on, to impoverish and cull Europe (with complicit western media blackout) before a patriotic resistance rises. They are on a Deagle schedule. Very grim times for Europe, all to provide a last fast food meal to the US and to deny them to Chinese BRI and a future within Eurasia. It is fatal to be an Anglo-Saxon ally.
This is precisely what has been happening to Latin America (most notably Argentina and Uruguay) since Independence in the early 19th century. Just consult economic historians from those countries. The historical journal Todo es Historia once called this issue “Deuda externa, deuda eterna” (foreign debt, eternal debt). From the late 1960s to the early 1980s, the problem of dependence of foreign money, markets, and technology was a hot topic in Latin American studies (“Dependency theory”). There are some very good movies as well, for instance La hora de los hornos (The Hour of the Furnaces), by Argentinian director Pino Solanas, highly recommended (with English subtitles, available on Youtube last time I checked).
As a Latin American historian, I find it fascinating to find that the old Latin American debate is now being resuscitated. Therefore I think it is crucial for anybody with an interest in this issue and anybody taking part in the current debate, to get a good grasp of the earlier academic and political debate.
Essentially however, the entire issue results from how US Americans (most of them at least, certainly the elites) see themselves and the rest of the world. It is why they can only destroy and exploit, without offering anything in return. The only things they bring are bad taste, bad products and superficiality.
Once it was a program just for Latin America, since 1945 it is Europe’s turn: https://zen.yandex.ru/media/pravdareport/how-to-destroy-europe-in-five-easy-steps-5bb33fa878a80a00a96949ea

The Great Britain made the treasonous Yugoslav monarchy pay for every bomb they dropped on Serbia in the WWII. On April 1941 the Yugoslav monarchy escaped and abandoned its people taking with them hundreds of kgs of gold to London. The British and Americans bombed Belgrade, Gornji Milanovac and a number of other industrial centres in Serbia which was occupied by German, newly-created Croatian and Albanian Nazis and Hungarian, Romanian and Bulgarian fascists.
Throughout the war the pedantic British sent invoices for every bombing sortie to the Yugoslav monarch exiled in London. The Brits helped themselves to the Yugoslav/Serbian gold. There was no need for the “noble” Yugoslav monarchy to dirty their hands. It suffices to say that all the gold was stolen and the exiled monarchs had to fend for themselves. The remnants of the Yugoslav monarchy are now in Serbia leaching off the Serbian people. Many of them do not even speak the Serbian language and are officers of the British armed forces.
Those are our Anglo “friends”. With friends like this, one does not need enemies.

It was a coup there was no reason to take the loan.
The Red Army of the USSR stopped the German Wehrmacht before Moscow without being able to fall back on significant help.
At the same time, entire industrial complexes were relocated to the Urals and tanks were initially bolted together on a greenfield site.

…”
“…
In the most difficult conditions of the war an entire industrial power was relocated in a short time to thousands of kilometers. It is impossible not to agree with the assessment of one of the witnesses of the evacuation, the famous American journalist C.L. Sulzberger, who was in the USSR at the time: “The transfer of industrial enterprises from the western part of the USSR to the east became legendary. Now dozens of Siberian factories produce machine tools, spare parts, tanks, anti-tank guns, tractors, aircraft, guns, shells, rifles, machine guns, ammunition, hand grenades, mortars, artillery, diesel engines, carburetors, process copper and iron ore, and oil. In the southeast of the country there are textile factories. This transfer of industry to the east on a gigantic scale is one of the greatest sagas in history.”

Russia should use the water in the seaport to flood these areas. Use massive pumps to push and spray the seawater into these industrial areas until the underground plants are flooded with seawater. Attach seawater to the drainage pipes that lead to the plants and push water into these plants in reverse until the Nazis float out like sewage.
Very probably the deep underground places @ Azov Steel contain evidence. This may include evidence of germwar crime, human medical “subjects” (labrat prisoners, and corpses) and it may be infectious. Then there are NATO officers, many say. Reason suggests that forensic boffins of RF are going to have to suit-up in CBW gear and collect evidence.
This and other related factors also suggest that NATO would like the basements and their contents to be totally destroyed. I know it’s unthinkable, but there may even be a few “special munitions” hidden in those basements…and it may be that the bigbigemergency nazi plan is to set one off, thus creating a massive provocation while destroying evidence…said event then being blamed on RF…as usual, the guilty always blame the guy that did not do it.
Deep underground places usually rely on sump pumps because they’re well below the local water table…I don’t know about this situation, but I would bet that the basements are getting pretty damp…everything probably depends on the pumps and the power to run them…assume that’s diesel gensets…ticticktick the fuel level drops and the water seeps in. Recall the mass of water…in system English measure the pressure per sq inch @ 100 feet down is about 50 psi…in real world concrete and rock too are permeable to water, albeit they do slow things down.
I expect that thing down in the “pit” are getting rather smelly and damp. The posited 3000 men have to krap and all the rest. When the electric fails it’ll be rather dark, too.
Great idea
Odessa should surrender, or get flushed!
For the record.
All the military hardware the Czech and Slovak governments are providing is from state stocks and is provided as a gift and these gov also finance the transport up to the Ukrainian border.
There are commercial deals and I am not sure of the other countries gov assistance. But over here if the state even hinted at asking for any form of payment it would be a political suicide for the person suggesting that.
The bulk of the deliveries will indeed be new-build and paid for. But the state stocks are being provided free of charge.
During the First World War, Serbs were left to perish by the English and the French: about half of the male population died for the interests of these countries and the United States.
Ignoring the fact that the Serbs solved the First World War, in their Thessaloniki offensive in early 1918, causing the collapse of the Triple Alliance – the British took over the “Lead Mines and Smelter Trepcha”, and the French took “Copper Mines and Smelter in Bor”. as a guarantee, that lasted until World War II.We paid for every pledge we ate from their loans, boots and shoelaces, ammunition of the wrong caliber… 1968. Tito and De Gaulle agreed to write off the remaining debt.

$Multi-Billions, not $multi-millions and screwed nine ways to Sunday
In regards to this, it may also be of interest to people to know, how the United States got involved in World War I:
Prof Michael HUDSON – De-Dollarization – Toward the End of U.S. Monetary Hegemony?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbWaNPAS39s&t=1237s
JP Morgan went to the White House and explained to President Woodrow Wilson, that if the UK lost the war to the Central Powers, the UK would take the American banking system down with it because of all of the money that had been lent to the UK for arms purchases.
Furthermore, the UK wanted America to enter the war because it was the normal practice for the European powers to forgive war debts accrued by the winners. Thus England wanted to bring America in for debt cancellation reasons.
So there were huge economic & financial reasons to get involved in that war.
However, we are taught, even by the highest levels of the academy, that America entered the war because of the German practice of “unrestricted submarine warfare” sinking American ships:
Why did the US enter World War I?
https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/looking-back-100-years-u-s-enters-world-war-i-on-april-6-1917/
Not a mention of the economic reasons or JP Morgan in that University of Rochester explanation.

just like carlye group,
dtek company has already seized the energy resources of ukraine for the wef
Those energy resources must be worth pennies on the pound or cents on the dollar. I’d be shocked if Russia was still supplying Burisma/Biden Ukrainia with gas, only to blow up most of their energy infrastructure on a daily basis.
The way to undue those plans,as I’ve said before is for the current regime to be defeated and overturned. The new government,or if you will,the “restoration” government. Would then deem all contracts made under the previous criminal “maidan” regime as illegal,and non-binding. What are the Western powers going to do about that “sanction them”. They would do that anyway,with the end of the stooge regime of Zelensky,so it doesn’t matter. The new liberated,though smaller Ukraine.Would then enter into economic unity with Russia,Belarus,and whichever new state that is born out of the ruins of the former Ukraine.As well as the EAEU,and have economic ties with China,and other states. The future of Ukraine and its population would be much brighter as a new liberated state,than as a serf to the West.
This was an interesting article. I agree and was shocked to hear this disgusting story regarding Russia’s art. They MUST return this and the Rabbi’s better keep their greedy hands off it.
This doesn’t really change the reality in Ukraine since at least 2014. They’ve been debt slaves for a while now. To the IMF, the US and EU countries. That’s why they’ve already had to restructure their debts multiple times. Meanwhile, Russia knows this and is straight up canceling all debts on its new territories, either officially like with municipal debts or by simply killing off Ukrainian banks and the commercial debts they hold. Let the US keep the bill and seethe.
Thankfully Azov infested Ukrainia are hopeless at sums & double entry bookkeeping. When the war ends and they’re left with a 1/3rd of the country, that’ll be a huge debt burden to carry. Ukraine in their infinite wisdom cannot grasp that Donbass & Crimea are the business & strategic hubs that America salivated over. Forever gone!
Esta luta entre Rússia e Ucrânia, além de cristalizar o direito da Rússia de se proteger, serve também para aletar a humanidade para o que poderá vir em seguida.

This struggle between Russia and Ukraine, in addition to crystallizing Russia’s right to protect itself, also serves to add humanity to what might come next.
Very astute synopsis.
I would only add one thing – what happens in Ukraine, happens in the West.
It’s not the Ukrainians that are paying, the squeeze is been put on U.S allies to foot the bill for military aid.
Zalenski is going from parliament to parliament with his handout asking for arms.
In Australia he just asked for Bushmaster vehicles (French company) and they obliged, four are on the way now -Australian taxpayers should be allowed to watch them been blown up since they paid for them.
A new Ukrainian ambassador to Australia has just arrived -don’t ask me how he got out since males of fighting age are barred from leaving- and is constantly asking for arms in which to defeat Russia.

Its up to the neutered European male to stand up and take their country back from the U.S one percentage elite.
Proper understanding of why all wars are a Banker’s delight.
