1. “Ukraine Parliament Approves 2023 ‘Victory’ Budget With $38 Billion Deficit Ukraine’s PM expects the US to pay $18 billion of the deficit and the EU and IMF to make up the rest”

   American citizens left holding the bag again. Over $100 Billion thrown into Ukraine to hide Hunter Biden’s evil dealing in Ukraine.

   1. Yes, begun with snowball Hunter’s seat on Burisma while Papa was Obama’s appointed Viceroy after the Nuland/Brennan Nazi coup in ’14. Is this brilliant Harvard/Yale/Brookings foreign policy management, … or just God’s sick joke?

      1. “the Nuland/Brennan Nazi coup” Victoria Nuland is Jewish. Is she a nazist now?

         There were nazists among the protesters. Opposed by almost every nationalist party and organization in Europe. They were a minority. They never had any seats in Ukraine’s parliament – only one nationalist seat, by the more mainstream Svoboda. How is Ukraine nazist?

         Zelensky is the president. His campaign was financed by Igor Kolomoisky. The Ukrainians are paid by Biden. Let’s not get into who are in Biden’s cabinet, who his top donors were, or his allies in BlackRock.

         At Biden’s request they changed their laws to allow homosexual propaganda. With Biden they attacked Russian Donbass to provoke conservative Russia, hated by the U.S. Left for banning homosexual propaganda in schools, and for criticizing mass immigration to Europe. The Left’s two main projects. And for the Russia hoax, that they “hacked the 2016 election” so that anti-immigration Trump could win. Biden and Ukraine can’t allow such a Russia to exist.

         So again, how is Ukraine “nazi”?

         But Azov!

         1. NAZIs in Germany never got more than 37% of the vote.

            1. Nazi regime was established much more democratically in Germany than in Ukraine.

         2. Why is my comment still in moderation?

            1. Because I didn’t hear the big red “EXISTENTIAL DREAD JUST COMMENTED! HURRY!” phone on my desk ring.

            2. HAHAHA. Well I’ll have to get right on that. Thanks. That really cracked me up.

         3. The whole Nazi thing is done to death. Being a “nazi” doesn’t preclude someone who is Jewish – the Ustaši in the balkans wanted to exterminate Serbians more than jews. One might even argue the ghettoization and dehumanization done by the Israeli regime to the Palestinians is reminiscent of the Nazi’s crimes against Jews… but you’re not allowed to say that in America

            This whole issue reminds me of a copy paste of the Serbian-Croatian conflicts in 1900. One slavic tribe bullying the other slavic tribe into submission, but each side has stupid reasons for fighting. Serbians (Russians) believed there was no “Yugoslavia” and that everyone is actually Serbian, not Yugoslavian. Croatians ( Ukrainians) declared their cultural (and “linguistic”) independence, swearing up and down they have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the ancestry or history of the Serbian people.

            Both of these absolute claims are completely false and are just made up modern nationalist cope. Ukrainians and Russians are different. That’s not mutually exclusive with the idea they might share some history, language, culture etc in common. Azov’s nazism is reminiscent of Ustaši nazim. It doesn’t dominate all of Ukraine but the incessant desire for “independence” is rooted not in a desire for true self control but hatred for another tribe.

         4. Seven Decades of Nazi Collaboration: America’s Dirty Little Ukraine Secret

            The element has a long history, of a long record that speaks for itself, when that record is actually known and elaborated on. The key organization in the coup that took place here recently was the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists [OUN], or a specific branch of it known as the Banderas [OUN-B].They’re the group behind the Svoboda party, which got a number of key positions in the new interim regime. The OUN goes back to the 1920s, when they split off from other groups, and, especially in the 1930s, began a campaign of assassinating and otherwise terrorizing people who didn’t agree with them…As World War II approached, they made an alliance with the Nazi powers. They formed several military formations, so that when Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, they had several battalions that went into the main city at the time, where their base was, Lvov, or Lwow, it has avariety of spellings [Lviv today]. They went in, and there’s a documented history of them participating in the identification and rounding up Jews in that city, and assisting in executing several thousand citizens almost immediately. They were also involved in liquidating Polish group populations in other parts of Ukraine during the war. https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/seven-decades-nazi-collaboration-americas-dirty-little-ukraine-secret/

         5. Stepan Bandera is an official national hero.

   2. The whole “victory’ budget” is $72 billion. The deficit is more than a half of the budget. They can collect the other half themselves only in case the war stops immediately, which is very much unlikely to happen. So, Americans need to invest in Ukraine much more than $18 billion or the whole thing will collapse before the end of next year.

      1. Hopefully between General Winter and General Armageddon will grind all of Ukraine into dust by the New Year including all US, UK and EU forces.

         1. Everyone expecting in December, or maybe even earlier, a big Russian offensive, but hardly they will take Kiev. If lucky, they can take Nikolaev and Odessa regions. Perhaps, also Kharkov. By December, Russian army in Ukraine would be about half million strong. It is not enough to finish the war.

            1. Russia will take and hold the entire Eastern portion of Ukraine leaving Western Ukraine to whoever wants a rump state; Poland, Romania, and Hungary.

            2. Yes, it would be reasonable. No need to take the territories where the population is unfriendly.

2. Americans paid two trillion for the war in Afghanistan. Why not to pay, at least, one trillion for the war in Ukraine? Definitely the war in Ukraine is more important.
   According to Assange, American rulers don’t need a victorious war, they need an endless war.

   1. You just answered your own question – because two trillion were already paid for the war in Afghanistan.

      1. It is not me; it is Assange who explained the motivation of those who are making decisions about the investments. It doesn’t matter, Afghanistan or anything else; they are investing in the war the budget money. A good part of those money comes back to America (or never leaves), but not to the federal budget.

3. Will the 38 billion dollar deficit place the Ukraine under the boot of the IMF/World Bank?
   Maybe that is one of the reasons for the war?

   1. Privatize and/or sell off everything in Ukraine. Really worked in Greece. Good ole IMF/ World Bank.

4. Us pay $18 of the deficit? F*ck that!

5. Maybe these sycophant clowns should take a look where this massive cash is going; answer, nobody really follows or knows but it ain’t going to legitimate accounts: (see definition of Ukrainian black hole)

   http://johnhelmer.net/thieves-paradise-in-kiev-imf-admits-it-doesnt-know-how-much-ukraine-has-received-of-35-billion-in-promised-foreign-cash-or-where-the-money-was-spent/

   A new report by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reveals that the
   Ukraine has become a thieves’ paradise in which corporate loan
   defaults are written off; embezzlement from banks is not traced; the
   National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) no longer audits the country’s bank
   liabilities and reserves; and the IMF admits it cannot tell how much of
   the $35 billion in foreign cash grants and loans promised to Kiev has
   been disbursed, or to whom. (

6. A decision taken by a parliament paid completely by U.S. taxpayers, courtesy of Biden. To keep up Biden’s war until the midterms at least.

   Even if they had all the money they needed they couldn’t keep the power grid going. Especially not when Russia can just keep destroying it.

   Their electric trains can’t bring ammo to the east. And people won’t have enough heat this winter.

   Zelensky should just admit that his planned invasion of Donbass failed. And Ukraine should be forced to pay for their terrorist shelling of Donbass – even now they are shelling Donetsk. Which the media never mention. It takes an enormous toll on the people in Donbass. Seven years of this terrorism. Hand over Zelensky to Russia to stand trial, agree to peace, and then rebuild the economy.

7. The War Machine is going to kill us all with their generosity…. 50 Billion Buckaroos? Crikey!

   Putin on Ukrainian refugees: In Europe, they go around demanding discounts at restaurants; in Russia, they seek and find employment.

   1. Putin doesn’t use Twitter. It doesn’t mean this thesis is not correct.

      1. Can you verify in Russian what he said on video?

         1. The translation under the video is correct. It is not correct in the comment above. Putin told: “Feel the difference between those refugees, who are moving to EU and those, who a moving to Russia”. He meant the pro-western refugees go to EU and pro-Russian go to Russia. Those two types of refugees are behaving differently.

            1. Is it generally accurate to conclude ethnic Ukrainians are moving to western Europe and ethnic Russians are moving to Russia?

            2. It is not so easy to get out from Ukraine at the moment. 8 months ago, they charged about $10K for crossing the western border. Kiev is mostly Russian speaking town, but it is rather pro-western. Many of those who had money, moved to EU. From other towns too. In general, definitely more than half ethnic Ukrainians are pro-western and more than half ethnic Russians are pro-Russian. A lot of people are between; they just want a normal life.
