    They are burying Ukraine in debt they will never be able to repay and its resources will be gobbled up by various capitalists. THIS was the plan from the start

        Not really, initially some countries wanted to make it a gift. After all it comes from Russian assets and Ukraine is being invaded by Russia. Now they changed it so the countries with the worlds largest economies can also profit from the assets they took from Russia.

      Having debt is not bad in it self. The UK paid their last WW1 debts back in 2011 or something. I know the UK is in a bad state but it is not because of those war debts.

      My god, read the bloody article.

      They gave ukraine a 50bn loan which is being paid off by the interest on the frozen Russian assets at approx 3bn a year.

      Ukrainians will not have to pay back a si gle penny of this “loan”

      I knew there was a reason Putin invaded!

      To facilitate Western business interests! It’s so obvious now!

          I get it now! This was in the works for years! Western business interests installed Putin as a sleeper agent in Russia and then forced him to invade Ukraine!

            If it werent for US interference in Russian elections under Clinton we wouldnt have Putin. But no, the US started this process years before.

              Got it. Clinton interfered with the Russian elections in the 1990s knowing that one day, Putin would become dictator-for-life and invade Ukraine on a spurious pretext in order to create new business interests for Western companies.

              Sounds very plausible.

                Clinton is to blame for the entire Putin ordeal. Had the US not interfered, Yeltsin would have never been reelected and Putin would have never risen to where he is now.

                  Why start at Clinton? If it hadn’t been for the Vikings, there would be no Russia.

                  So maybe we should blame the Vikings for Putin invading Ukraine.

                  Or, and maybe this is going way out on a limb- we blame Putin for doing what he could have just not done and could still stop doing rather than blame a guy who hasn’t been president in a quarter century?

                  You are trying really hard to not connect the knife sticking in the stab wound with the murder.
