Volodymyr Zelenskyy is huddled with European Leaders at the European Council meeting in Brussels. The key effort by the assembly is how to use frozen Russian assets to give money to Ukraine.
The EU itself does not want to lend Ukraine money directly because people within each nation of the EU assembly do not support giving Ukraine more money. The issue reflects a political disconnect where the EU leaders want to give money that the EU citizens do not support giving.
As a result, the only viable option is for the EU to find a mechanism where seized Russian assets can be disbursed or used as collateral for payments to Ukraine. However, some member states like Hungary, Italy and Belgium are refusing to cooperate with the seizure of the Russian sovereign wealth fund. The problem for Zelenskyy and his friends is simply that without money wars cannot continue.
As noted by Decentralized Media: “What is unfolding in Europe reads less like miscalculation and more like controlled demolition operation. The freezing—and now effective seizure—of Russian-linked assets at Euroclear is not simply a sanction gone too far. It is a deliberate trigger in a broader effort to collapse the European Union’s existing financial architecture and, with it, the London-centered banking cartel that has dominated global capital flows for decades.
That process accelerates the moment Donald Trump removes the United States as the EU’s financial backstop.
Trump’s decision to defund and condition U.S. support for Ukraine did not merely pressure Kyiv. More importantly, his insistence on pursuing a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia threatened to end the war on terms that would devastate European interests. It forced Europe to confront a war it could not afford and a system it could no longer sustain. Without Washington underwriting the conflict, Brussels faced a stark choice: accept a negotiated peace and a financial reckoning or prolong the war long enough to extract what value it could from the system before collapse.
Europe chose the latter.
The Russian assets frozen in 2022 were never meant to be spent. They were never supposed to survive a peace deal. They were leverage—political theater designed to signal resolve while assuming eventual American rescue. But when Trump pulled the plug, those frozen funds became the only available war chest. The moment Europe reached for them; the collapse became inevitable. (read more)
President Trump has told the EU the frozen Russian assets should be used as part of the negotiation for a ceasefire. If the EU announces permanent confiscation of the assets the leverage is lost.
If the EU is not going to accept peace, the only option they have left is to collateralize the Russian assets and loan the money to Ukraine.
Together with Prime Minister of Belgium @Bart_DeWever, we discussed mechanisms for using frozen Russian assets. I understand all of Belgium’s concerns; however, a decision on the reparations loan must be made. It is fair and will ensure long-term predictability for Ukraine.

Mentally deranged NATO Chief Mark Rutte wants
a Thermonuclear World War III with Russia.
World War III would destroy humanity & civilization.

Russians & Ukrainians are good people.
Americans are good people.
Time to Live in Peace.
Rutte is an agent of the WEF. It you realize this, it all makes more sense.
And Merz is Black Rock.
Makes even more sense.
Macron is Rothschild.
The ties that bind.
Honestly Russia could very easily destabilize without nukes or a whole lot of effort. Sundance has already alluded to this before.
An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes-origin unknown, though often misattributed to Sun Tzu.
theres a big distinction between a nation and a nations government.
The vast majority of people are good, the governments are the entities effing things up, and it ain’t by accident.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE ARE NOT BASICALLY GOOD ! The essence of Christianity is ALL are sinners and fall short of righteousness.
No young child has to be taught to be bad !
When left to their instincts, people are selfish and prone to follow their worst, covetous desires and weaknesses.
YES,,, Faith in Jesus Christ as he who died for my sins, was buried and arose from among the dead on the 3d day. He is MY righteousness, Saviour and GOD. God the Father has accepted me in him (The Beloved-Christ) and by grace saved me eternally and placed me as a son in his family. there is NO other way to be saved from the sin you are born with.
“Because We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” [Founding Father of the United States of America, John Adams in 1798]
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their >Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, …” [Our Declaration of Independence]
**********************************
I offer these two quotes, because we as Americans have always been blessed with God’s Grace, which is available to all people. … Fortunately, America has never been a country, where it is a normal occurrence for a religious lunatic to jump at someone with a large knife, while shouting ‘Ollie Snackbar’ and attempt murder. … Nor has it been normal for >all people to engage in large scale fraud, such as the fraud that has recently occurred in Minnesota by the Somalian Community, which has the support of Governor Waltz.
A person living in a ‘red’ state in America is Blessed by God. FIY: I live in a ‘blue’ state where fraud is part of the normal operation of the ‘fraudster’ politicians.
**************************************
While there is a human nature which can be tempted by Sin (concupiscence), through the Grace of God >all people are given the grace to minimize and overcome sin through the Grace of God.
Jesus Christ is truly our Savior and paid for all our sins with His sufferings and death on the Cross.
I’m (GGHD) including this explanation of the Natural Law to help people understand the ‘Grace’ given to everyone. We all have freewill. We choose to do evil or good. God is Just. People send themselves to Hell.
*****
(1954) “Man participates in the wisdom and goodness of the Creator who gives him mastery over his acts and the ability to govern himself with a view to the true and the good.
The natural law expresses the original moral sense which enables man to discern by reason the good and the evil, the truth and the lie:
The natural law is written and engraved in the soul of each and every man, because it is human reason ordaining him to do good and forbidding him to sin . . . But this command of human reason would not have the force of law if it were not the voice and interpreter of a higher reason to which our spirit and our freedom must be submitted.”

Putin doesn’t need to go nuclear to squash NATO. Or the EU.
Nonsense. He can’t even take more than a few meters within the most corrupt country in the world which is directed to his own very corrupt system and his mostly derelict military.
Sometimes comments are like we are in the Sowjet union.
Russian goal has been to destroy Ukraine military. Territory but at a slow pace while grinding up the Ukraine forces, which at the beginning of the smo were the largest in Europe. Russia has no interest in W Ukraine but if they chose to , they could roll over the boutique miliaries of NATO.
Donbas region is slightly larger than the state of WV. Four years into it? That’s slow on a glacial scale!
They suffer from an apparent inability to defend themselves from low tech threats.
Yes….war of attrition.
Keep drinking the Western Koolaid, Seb. They have a new flavor called Stupid Strawberry. Tastes great but it leaves a really bad feeling in your gut…..like when you wake up and realize you’ve been lied to AGAIN by the people that brought you the original RUSSIA1 RUSSIA! RUSSIA! BULLSHIT against President Trump.
Russia could have blown Ukraine into a million pieces but President Putin does care about those in the Donbass and beyond who voted to be part of Russia and were denied by Victoria Nuland and the CIA. Type in your search engine “UK coup in 2014” or watch “Ukraine on Fire” on you boob.
Or just go back to sucking up your Democrat talking points and spewing them out. Just to let you know I usually don’t waste my time responding to the uninformed but I feel that you might see the light at some point.
Just make sure it’s not red.
The God of Thunder has spoken!
Respectfully, you are obviously wholly uninformed. The Devil’s in the Details, and so let me share the detail stats, and detail stats are not “talking points”.
It is a war of attrition.
The Russian Federation is vast and spread thousands of miles wide, and cannot be protected, and the infrastructure is VERY old, not AT ALL well-maintained, and it is now overly taxed from the long protracted war that was only supposed to last 3 days, and further, it is being systematically dismantled by the Long Range Ukraine Drone strikes, which are comparatively very cheap, and which has proven entirely unstoppable by the outdated Russian defense systems. Also of note, there are MANY Russian dissidents within Russia who are working in alignment with Ukraine special forces, targeting many strategic critical supply chain factories, distribution and storage facilities. And the energy distribution in the Russian Federation is the MOST vulnerable of all, and this includes gas, diesel, jet fuel, and electricity, and these are easily and readily being destroyed. NOTE: It was ONLY Trump who gave Zelensky permission to hit those targets, NOT Biden.
AND IT IS WINTER NOW.
Pipes freeze and crack or explode.
In short, the Russian Federation will not last the winter, aka, “General Winter”
Yes, it is a war of attrition, on many fronts, and the current estimated ratio:
10-to-1 : Russian-to-Ukraine Soldiers.
Yup, 10 Russians killed for every 1 Ukraine.
But the ratio is actually MUCH higher in many instances. Russian troops are being decimated.
The attrition spans both the Russian military and the entirety of the Russian Federation’s infrastructure.
Let’s review:
Killed / Destroyed by Ukraine since 02/24/2022:
* 1,193,300 Russian Soldiers killed
* 11,432 Russian Tanks
* 23,758 Russian Armored Fighting Vehicles
* 35,232 Russian Artillery Systems
* 1,573 Russian Multiple Launch Rocket Systems
* 1,263 Russian Air Defense Systems
* 91,726 Russian UAVs
* 432 Russian Aircraft
* 347 Russian Helicopters
* 4,073 Russian Cruise Missiles
* 28 Russian Warships/Boats
* 2 Russian Submarines
* 70,480 Russian Vehicles & Fuel Tanks
* 4,027 Russian Special Equipment
* 4 Russian Shadow Fleet Tankers
Over 100 strikes across 44 Oil Refineries
Dozens of strikes on Electric Substations
Dozens of strikes on Railroad lines
Again, it is a war of attrition.
Russian military equipment has now been proven utterly obsolete.
Entire Tank squadrons have been decimated in a matter of hours by cheap drones, costing precisely ZERO Ukraine casualties, killing 100% of the Russian Soldiers.
It is a meatgrinder of Russian Soldiers.
It is quite sad, and honestly pathetic, I have watched over 100 videos over the past 6 months where the Russians are being wiped out, entirely by Ukraine drones. ZERO UKRAINE CASUALTIES. The elite Russian Para-troopers were decimated by Ukraine drones, ZERO UKRAINE CASUALTIES.
Armored Personnel squadrons have been decimated in a matter of hours by cheap drones, again costing precisely ZERO Ukraine casualties.
Putin makes bold claims that have repeatedly proven to be complete lies. Russian propaganda. Ukraine is posting 10 to 20 videos EVERY DAY, from numerous sources, which provides verifiable evidence of the numbers.
NONE of the Russian claims have been corroborated. NOT EVEN A LITTLE, in fact, virtually all of them have been debunked.
And, Putin is running out of money and soldiers. THIS HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED. Russia’s budget for the war ran out 6 months ago. Russia has recently sold their gold reserves. Russia has increased their VAT Tax. Russia has reduced their pay to soldiers. And should I ever mention the 17 Generals and 35 industry leaders who were either “suicided” or put in prison. Putin has replaced those positions with close family relatives of Putin. Remote regions of the Russian Federation that are different ethnicities, different cultures, different languages, which have historically been subjugated by Russia military, but that military has now been moved back to protect Moscow, or sent to the Front Line. Consider regions like Siberia and the indigenous Turkic, Uralic, Mongolic, etc.
Putin has called for a January 2026 conscription of 1 million more soldiers, but this has never been done this time of the year, and let’s see how many soldiers he gets. It has been reported that millions of Russian have fled Russia over the past 3 years to avoid being conscripted into a war that they do not support. And would the people from the remote regions show up for conscription into military service, especially given the history over the past 3 years, wherein Putin has kept moving the goal post back and back and back, every other day. Remember, Putin told everyone in Russia that this Ukraine “Special Military Operation” was only gonna take 3 days.
And calling Zelensky an illegitimate dictator is entirely laughable, which is why it does not motivate a people who are living under the Putin dictatorship. And given Zelensky’s bravery at the front line, in war zones, over and over and over these past 2 years, at this point, I think it is safe to say that Zelensky is a rather beloved by his people. Putin is now widely seen as a cowardly fraud.
Everyone knows that Putin is the dictator. Everyone. It is a charade.

Oh, dear……is that why the Ukraine army has hop skipped over Donbass and is on the march to Moscow?

Zero Ukraine casualties? Are you seriously ill?
Me thinks you should watch a few of the links provided by 4gypsybreeze and share them with your tribe of “journalists” from Bild or maybe The Atlantic.
FriendofK(amala) for sure.
Demented?
uninformed much? Just, wow. Where do you get this information, Kiev?
Rutte isn’t that stupid, he’s bluffing and trying to scare the average person into keeping the old system Trump is destroying.
“Mentally deranged NATO Chief Mark Rutte wants a Thermonuclear World War III with Russia.”
They can have a war if they want……so long as THEIR foxhole is Ground Zero.
I do not request that they have “skin in the game.”
I require that they have ashes in the crater.
If only Russia had SMART bombs that targeted just the elite snobs of the EU then maybe just maybe the countrymen could fight off the Moose Slums that the elite allowed to enter and now control many areas.
I guess all the Hudson Bay Company and British East India Tea Company reps sold all their guns to the Somalians.
Mark Rutte was PM of the Netherlands and wanted to force close all of farms in Holland to fight Climate Change. Rutte is either a lunatic or heavily invested in alternative energy stocks and horribly corrupt!
As to Rutte, both things can be true. I followed Eva Vlaardingerbroek’s fight against this guy awhile back over this farm lunacy. And he is both whacko, and evil.
He also wanted to build immagrant council housing.
Just planning ahead.
good insight. the lesson to observe is how paychotic a human being can become when granted power they do not warrant nor deserve.
My first question is, why hold so dear to Ukraine? This money laundering must be beyond the imagination to deserve such sacrifice.
Next question, why is the rat still alive or even in place as the Ukraine president?
Something very wrong with this Ukraine mess, that countries are willing to commit suicide to pursue what is there. Even America has bent knee to this little piece of excrement. More and more my opinion is Ukraine has a banking issue that if gone would collapse the current system.
UK special forces protection?
Watch the embedded video. PDJT is about to collapse all of Europe. There will be no money.
It’s always about the $!
Viktor Orbàn, a strong Trump ally, has just pronounced this scheme dead, over, kaput.

Amazing isn’t it? We are suddenly aligned with Russia against most of the EU globalists, exceptions being Hungary and Italy.
We’ve been wrongly manipulated against Russia.
We should have always been aligned with Orthodox Christian Russia.
We could have a good partnership with Russia.
I agree. Did you notice Zelensky was not wearing his Khaki’s in his meetings with the EU? Does he love Ukraine and its people? I highly doubt it.
Oh he loves them, loves to see them die for his benefit, that POS.
We’d need to get a current tally of the number of mosques before making that a statement of fact. Plus, I’d want to know if Russians allow the “call to prayers” …?
Where are all the car bombers when you need them? Oops, I’m sorry. They are on “break”!

See the article posted below. Very interesting. What percentage of Russia do the Muslims occupy…..? Are those of Islamic persuasion being sent to the front or are they safe from that conflict?
There have been some Russian – allied Chechen units involved in the fighting.
I couldn’t agree more. What would be even more special if the US, Russia, India and CHYNA would all come together and agree on trade, relations, etc. but that’s a dream.
There’s only one country that would NEVER agree to mutual relations and that is CHYNA!!!!!! Or is they did they would renege on it. F the CCP!
The Chinese people want peace and prosperity, however the CHYNA CCP wants total control of the world.
It’s in the Book.
The money from ukraine has been infused in the us also. dems made sure they got big money from their scam and so did republicans. the uniparty way.
There are still so many folks that don’t see the UNIPARTY scam. I was at a “Conservative Meetup ” meeting tonight and I was amazed at how out of touch most of them are with the dealings of the R party. None of them ever heard of this site so I clued them in and told them to please check it out and see what the hell is really happening in DC.
I want to be Andrew Breitbart……with full body armor and any security company that is NOT affiliated with the US Gubment….
To your first question, Palerider, I’m not even sure I have a definitive answer… – Globohomo/IC/NGO complex has so many ratlines for laundromat-washed bux, it’s truly beyond belief, at this point… – For some reason Ukraine’s important to ’em (Russian balkanization/conquest/resource plunder vs ‘Nu Zion’ lifeboat, should things go tits up for Israel in the ME, who knows?…)
…- As to your second question: – Because someone in 5Eyes IC deems him to still be usefull, although frankly he should go back to playing ‘Chopsticks’ with his wedding tackle, if he knows what’s good for him.
To your second paragraph: – The Brit/EU economies are currently Imploding/Cratering, and this is the *Last Gasp*… – This play is *Literally* all they have left…
(…- I remember, back in the day, after Maidan kicked-off, at the end of 2014, and Ukraine’s bullion reserves got mysteriously spirited-away on a private jet, overnght(supposedly CIA-chartered), hearing about Noodleman’s and the EU’s designs upon Ukraine, just struck me as how we were basically just Burglarizing an entire country (Bear in mind, from the EU perspective, this is coming off the back end of the ‘PIIGS’ Eurozone debt crisis)…)
…- So basically, all these years later, here we are again: – Rape, Loot, and Pillage (Not to mention Mass Murder, on a *Truly Epic* Cecil B DeMille/William Wyler Hollyweird scale)… – As far as the eye can see… – All to keep the rotten (EU) Bankster Heath-Robinson/Rube-Goldberg Ponzinomic thievery machine afloat… – *SMH*…
Wow, what a summary, as an addition to original article. The only element left out, specifically, is the plan to eliminate all white people, except their elitist a$$e$. (You do have “again — Rape, Loot, Pillage”) Here, millions in Ukraine used as fodder to “conquer”/impoverish Russia and break it up into pieces that they will appropriate. Then Ukraine is emptied of any population that can recreate a nation. All American wars from Viet Nam on, imo, has been used for this purpose as well as to destroy any nation of strength.
I think their plan for Russia was to overthrow Putin, install a puppet, then carve up Russia’s natural resources like a roast for themselves. Instead, the whole plan blew right up in their EU faces.
They are really giving a bad odor to their entire organization – Eeee-yeeewww – in any language, malodorous!
Their people are becoming increasingly rebellious and thier economies are stagnating because of the sinister decisions made by leadership. They need an external enemy to focus thier people on. And something to revive thier own economies (which they killed themselves). Its Evil sick and twisted, but it’s logical.
Creating the ‘other’ as an enemy won’t work when we have entitled, arrogant, military age males from failed States coming into our countries in their millions.
This is a good point. No one is going to focus on the “other” from the outside, when the other is already inside as an invasion force. I guarantee you these Euro criminals never considered that.
Yeah Karin, no one is going to look away when there is danger right there on their doorstep.
Was this the site of election fraud 2020?
The real problem, is congress!
A veto proof 70 Sennators voted to set up their own Ukrainian laundrymat.
They don’t care what happens to Europe as long as the Ukrainian war continues.
The EU euocrats are just doing congress’ bidding.
At this point in the ongoing Ukraine farce is the overwhelming threat that all of the corrupt kickback cash will be made public. Ms Linda Graham has been pretty quiet lately. Either he’s having toy boy problems or all of his corrupt Ukrainian kickback cash is about to be exposed
And don’t ya just wonder where all that Ukraine money is going. Not to Ukraine, that’s for sure.
But if it was about money wouldn’t a negotiated peace preserve more of the U-money than a larger war that might destroy it all? From a greed perspective losing it all doesn’t make sense.
It possible a more likely scenario is that they might be trying to cover something up by destroying Ukraine. What if there was so much corruption embedded with Z-monkey that exposure could break the entire EU apart?
The EU could recover from a financial loss but unlikely from a power loss.
The EU needs to keep the war going because it obfuscates the economic woes of the entire EU. Notice that the EU is entirely focused on Ukraine and never discusses social welfare, energy costs, the deindustrialization that is ongoing, and the many other problems the EU is facing. The EU is in big trouble and the only way to mask it is to kick the can down the road by perpetuating the war in Ukraine. Of course, there is the money laundering aspect as well, but even that is minor compared to the economic disaster that is the EU.
Why hold the Ukraine so dear?
Sunk costs … and I don’t mean the pocket change; spent, sent and lent for the War.
via Blackrock …. Major International Financial Holding Companies, Banks and other major investing firms have sunk allot of investment into the Ukraine since 2014 …. Mineral Rights, Food, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilizer, Energy Pipelines, et al.
This was all supposed to be SECURED by a NATO Membership and Controlled via an EU Membership.
The EU, NATO and US Deep State FAILED miserably in understanding that Russia was NOT BLUFFING about the NATO red line … Putin offered to re-negotiate the Minsk Accords, so the Ukraine vs Breakaway DONBAS Provinces conflict was not the issue.
Notice that last week some funky UKRAINE Fund was allowed to be traded on the US Stock Exchange.
May God bless and protect President Trump and his loyal allies. These are dangerous times.
Russia’s frozen assets — everything you need to know
https://www.dw.com/en/russias-frozen-assets-everything-you-need-to-know/a-75180873
‘EU Desperate Find a Way to Keep the Racket Going’…
… – Fixed the Headline for You, Sundance.
(… – Sidebar: – Any o’ you notice how they keep tryna pour it on with the whole ‘Ramping Up WWIII’ BS, right around Christmas time, lo’ these last 4 years?… – *Curious Timing*, No?…)
The EU’s pro-war, globalist, anti-American leaders are doing everything in their power—including weighing what’s being called a “nuclear option” of deliberately shaking the foundations of the U.S. economy—to block a peace settlement in Ukraine, even as President Trump advances direct negotiations aimed at finally ending the nearly four-year-long inter-Slavic war.
According to reports, the globalist bloc in Europe is threatening to sell-off $2.34 trillion in US Treasury holdings if Trump withdraws support for Ukraine—an action that some analysts claim could trigger a downturn more severe than the 2008 crash.
Rather than welcoming diplomacy, EU officials are allegedly weighing economic retaliation if Trump dares to end the war on his own terms. Sources say some governments have floated the idea of dumping portions of their massive holdings of U.S. debt as a form of pressure.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/eu-globalists-threaten-dump-2-34-trillion-u/
…- *I Know*, Edink… – Just let those assholes even go ahead and *Try* and dump their USTs/USG Bawnds…
…- Between that, and them attempting to ‘confiscate’ Russia’s sovereign assets, just sit back (with *Copious* popcorn rations, mind you) and watch what happens next: – They will become the financial/economic leppers of Planet Earth…
…- And shortly thereafter: – *Global Economic Collapse* (At least for the ‘1st World’…)
…- They F**kers are *Literally* like Heath Ledger’s Joker in ‘The Dark Night’, at this point (“It’s Not About The Money, It’s About *Sending A Message*”/”Because Some Men, Master Wayne, Just Want To Watch The World Burn”…)
good catch, Edink.
i saw that news item too, but my reaction was to say: “have at it, EU”.
i have every confidence that PT – Wharton School grad, billionaire businessman,
who has operated at the very highest levels of finance for decades,
and who has himself creatively bailed his interests out of some adverse financial situations
(see Wilbur Ross’ comments on that! 😁 ) –
can’t handle some dumped debt?
and make it backfire on the dumpers?
and monetize it in the process? 😂
it would be the last bit of so called leverage the EU ever uses against America.
got news for you, EU –
we are the sons and daughters of those who left your claustrophobic shores
to start a new land free of your medieval mindset.
one Mayflower beats your three of a kind plus that joker.
(that would be France, Deutschland, UK, and Z).
(sorry, but i have a zero tolerance policy regarding threats from the Euroleeches.
whew, and now i feel better again.😆)
Makes ya wonder what would happen to those assets if Trump pulled the US out of NATO?
Wars are expensive, especially if you have to pay for them out of your own pocket.
The EU dumping US debt would result in economic suicide for them. 1st, it would likely trigger a slight shift in short-term dollar valuation but the resulting trade war against the EU by all other nations dependent on the US trade, isolating the EU and ultimately bankrupting them. Please Do It Euroweiners.
Thinking of a song from an Australian band as it pertains to the EU: “how can we stop when our is churning? How can we sleep when our (financial world) is burning?
Yep. Go ahead and continue burning the place down Ursula.
This is the one you speak of I believe. “Beds are Burning”-Midnight Oil
Thank you! Eggs-actly.
Trump is the master of debt. He would be happy to buy the debt for pennies on the dollar paid with USA energy products.
Of course, our ability to finance imports would be hampered, and speed up bringing production back to the USA.
The EU economy would do worse.
Didn’t Soros do something like that to the UK.
Much of that debt is simply located in places where investment funds are registered. UK is the only one that has debt under its direct control, and it has $700+ billion. Major pension and investment funds are the largest holders of U.S. debt.
Turn those uncollected Euro debts over to Russia…the best collection agency on the planet.
If they ever actually go through with selling off Treasuries with the intent of damaging the U.S. economy, we should consider it an act of war. I would like to see President Trump make a statement to that effect now.
I can’t remember what exactly Zelensky did about Christmas years ago. He decreed that all Ukrainians WILL celebrate Christmas on December 25th. Meanwhile back in Ukraine it always been celebrated later.
Not a dictator?
The opinion piece by Littlejohn in the daily fail is calling us ‘work-shy and war-shy’. The propaganda and attempts to shame have begun. The Covid debacle coming so soon after the sham Brexit organised by Westminster and the EU elites delegitimised the institutional State, the media, the intelligence services, the army and the medical profession. Time to shame the politicians, bureaucrats, RNLI and the Border Force employees for running a taxi service for people traffickers. Why go to war in a fascist, anti Christian country when our country is being invaded by Islamofascists who want sharia law.
These actions make crystal clear the definition of “Representative” to the Ruling Classes of Europe and America! It won’t be their kids or grandkids getting vaporized in the HellFires of the next World War! They routinely tell the Voters and Peons to piss off and this is no different.
Why are there flags on the table?…. AND with the grift, nonsense, hubris, I keep going back to the Trump phone call to Cabaret man for which Trump was impeached. That despicable evil twin Vindman that pulled an Ollie North and testified against Trump. Such evil in DS and DC.
EU will be ‘severely damaged for years’ if assets plan fails, says Germany’s Merz
(European diplomats say both Russia and the U.S. are piling pressure on EU countries to prevent a multibillion euro loan to Kyiv.)….
….Merz’s grim prognosis for the EU in case of a failure at this week’s summit followed remarks from top EU diplomat Kaja Kallas that the asset-based loan now looked “increasingly difficult.”
Merz insists that using Russia’s frozen assets is the only credible way for Europe to keep Ukraine solvent next year.

Good. I hope the EU goes down the drain waving that stupid flag. Serves ’em right.
Again, Zero is a CIA puppet. Defund him, they become minnows. FBI, as well. Defund the FBI, there is nothing for the criminals to divide up amongst themselves. Good riddance to both.

From her lips to God’s ears. God bless President Trump.
Not sure how a non elected entity can sale off, or borrow, against an asset that is not in their physical possession then give the proceeds from the transaction to a fourth party.. Rob Peter to give to Bob and let Paul suffer the consequences.. Tell me again the difference between socialism and communism.. that itty bitty microscopic line
One more thing.. who in their right mind would buy into this scheme knowing they could be held hostage again
How long would it take to recoup the stolen Russian money with inflated gas prices to the EU? I suppose they think Russia should just shrug it off.

Wow! These videos should be watched.
The last one makes me wonder just what the real reason was for King Chas’ visit to the Vatican?
Could the Crown need a loan?
If so, what would be
The collateral Leo would ask in return?
Just thinking out loud.
The Holy See is also strapped for cash, believe me.
Read the rest of the link above from Decentralized Media. If correct, we are watching the destruction of the EU. Thankfully.
I read, also.
Very interesting.
They’ll burn through these funds quickly so I think the intention is start all out war as soon as possible.
‘The issue reflects a political disconnect where the EU leaders want to give money that the EU citizens do not support giving.’
This same sentence can be stated here in the USA regarding all the $$$$ that has been pissed away on illegals and the ones referred to as 3rd world refugees.
Most tax payers do not support ‘the giving’ our grifting US leaders have handed to illegals while ignoring our military and our own citizens in need of a break.
It has to be the biggest mind trip to gleefully spend billions of dollars these arrogant fools feel they can just reach in and grab. 🤮
The globalists were planning on taking over Russia in an effort to plunder their gold and trillions in natural resources.
They were using the United States and NATO as the enforcers with the Ukrainian men being the fodder at the front lines.
If successful with their plan, they would have carved up Russia like a turkey and divided the spoils amongst themselves.
President Trump got in their way by pulling funding and working towards a peace settlement.
Now they are caught with their pants down and they really don’t know what to do.
Expect them to start lashing out as if they’re infected with rabies and foaming at the mouth.
The same globalist pigs want to drag the United States into the war with article 5 like security guarantees so they can false flag an attack on our troops in hopes of dragging us into war with Russia to complete their plan.
President Trump sees right through it then we will sort them at every term.
I hope PDJT has a nice quiet very secret communication channel with Putin.
The EU turned into the CCP. It is totalitarian. The 700 members of parliament do nothing. They are window dressing.
For window dressing, they are pretty well compensated.

Why Should Americans Die for European Tyranny?

May they all be forced to sleep in their own feces.
Due to climate change they’ll call it endangered feces.
Word man?
Maybe the Bush’s will help their Nazi pal Zelenskyy with his banking needs like presidential patriarch Prescott Bush helped Nazi Hitler…*during* WWII when he made a killing off Hitler killing American GI’s with the bullets and bombs Prescott Bush helped pay for?

I have tuned into Prometheus a lot lately. I am beginning to see things from a clearer perspective.
`
And Zelensky :
Zelensky stated that he is waiting for the death of Donald Trump. At a press conference, he said that the US position on Ukraine’s NATO membership could change when “politicians change or someone dies.” Direct quote: “The United States does not currently see us in NATO. Everything in our life is ‘for now.’ The position may change in the future. Politicians change, some live, some die.”
I say let Ukraine join NATO, under one condition. They take our (US) spot.
Zelenskyy and Vindman got Trump impeached already. The war must go on forever.
The UK has NEVER been a friend of the U.S., they have screwed us every chance they got. With very few exceptions, neither has the EU or NATO or the UN. Withdrawal from all of them and bring our troops home.
The FSOC clip was very interesting. Elites growing the finance side at the expense of Main Street. What a stupid decision. I was a manufacturing guy and saw it first hand. It is a disaster for people and communities. And it turns out it is a disaster for a country.
It took President Trump to understand we can’t fight a war. We can’t make enough of anything to sustain any kind of large outbreak.
I obviously have a bias but how can you have a great product long term if you do not make it yourself. You learn so much about a product by making it. You learn what works, what isn’t important, how to make it cheaper. I just do not like Apple’s not making anything. Making something makes you a complete business…You have to manage everything properly. You have to be more than just a good idea. You have to execute.
It’s hard for me to see the EU as an ally. What they’ve been doing to undermine the peace negotiations disgusts me. The war could have been avoided completely had the US and EU addressed Russian security concerns and simply said Ukraine will not be part of NATO. How many have needlessly died over this BS?

And, on a related topic…
Ukraine can never pay back a single penny of this money.
This was fascinating, I read and listened to all of sundances posts about the reality of the situation. It can be hard to understand if you are like me and not into economic issues but from what I gleaned it is Trump outsmarting the EU globalists.
The Piglets.
Putin is nearly as good as PDJT at applying the branding iron.
Volodymyr and the Piglets.
Fascinating…
As someone upthread did, I strongly recommend watching the video Sundance posted at the beginning, labeled THEY FEAR THIS.
Very informative with info about Trump initiatives I had not seen before. Looks like he is kicking the applecart over in ways I had not imagined. This stuff is truly MAGA. It will only amplify the evil efforts against the President and — as people learn about it — the public support for him.
America First.
Much of Europe’s fighting age population is Muslim who hate Europe. Good luck with the war.
From Sundance’s article …. this seems to be where the EU is headed ….”If the EU is not going to accept peace, the only option they have left is to collateralize the Russian assets and loan the money to Ukraine.”
2-Interesting notes about this approach.
First the word “LOAN” … as in repayment is expected. Why just a few months ago the EU and Ukraine were demanding “GRANTS” from the US and that previous US Aid provided be classified as “GRANTS” … as in NO Repayment expected.
Second in the word “collateral” …. so if the Russian Funds that have been frozen are held as collateral, does that mean the LOAN is being given, sing some EU Parliamentary gimmick … knowing it WILL NOT be Repaid and Russian Assets will then be seized as “repayment”. hmmmm … scratch your head on this one for a while.
[HINT: How is this any different than using Russian Assets, which even EU citizens don’t like.]
The word you are looking for is ‘steal.’
I know that … I was just point out that if the EU goes this route … the EU somehow thinks that they are being oh so clever and nobody sees the truth or rather wants to see the truth.
Doc, I knew you knew. Just an attempt at irony.
Securing a loan against collateral is usually done by the owner of such collateral. The EU doesn’t own the Russian collateral and therefore can’t borrow against it. These people are complete idiots if they think they can borrow a cent in this scenario.
Promethean does great work my 70+ mom is a huge fan
They didn’t even confiscate funds in foreign banks from nazi Germany in WW,2
They’ve run out of other peoples money. Now it’s time to run them underground
Perhaps if they hadn’t imported the third-world into their countries as fast as possible and put them on welfare in “no-go zones” they’d have a lot more fiscal room to maneuver. While you were reading this, 20 more of them entered Europe. They counted 4.3 million in 2023 alone but who knows how many more slipped by the counters.
Didn’t the house just last week in the DOD budget allocate 800 million (in two tranches) to Ukraine? I guess the worst monetary hit if we tell the EU to pound sand is to lose 3 trillion in treasury bills that EU holds. If only Doge would trace that money.
The Euros are plying Russian roulette with a fully loaded revolver. The only options they are leaving themselves with are either financial or physical destruction. They appear to be selecting a combination of both.
The question asked above is a good one …. Why hold the Ukraine so dear?
Sunk costs … and I don’t mean the pocket change; spent, sent and lent for the War.
via Blackrock as the broker …. Major International Financial Holding Companies, Banks and other major investing firms have sunk allot of investment into the Ukraine since 2010-2014 …. Mineral Rights, Food, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilizer, Energy Pipelines, et al.
This was all supposed to be SECURED by a NATO Membership and Controlled via an EU Membership.
The EU, NATO and US Deep State FAILED miserably in understanding that Russia was NOT BLUFFING about the NATO red line … In December 2021, Putin offered to re-negotiate the Minsk Accords, so the Ukraine + Azov Nazis vs Breakaway DONBAS Provinces conflict was not the issue.
Notice that last week some funky UKRAINE Fund was allowed to be traded on the US Stock Exchange. This same fund is NOT yet posted on any of the EU National Exchanges …. hmmmm. I suggest watching US ETF content from this point forward as funding sources for the war shift to US Private Funds via the stock markets.
Their secret back door.
The thief can come in while the asset holder/home owner sleeps.
Thanks for the info.
A list of the people whose ancestors once lived in Ukraine and are active in destroying it would be useful.
Chabad is from Ukraine.
I think they want to steal this money and they know Russia will retaliate- so this is why they are preparing their people for war.
But don’t forget that this is just what they want- to send their people off to war because they are broke!
They have this population replacement well underway and how better to get all this done than to send a whole lot of their own off to war.
Truly, what a sick and evil place.. I sure hope the people get busy and remove all these monsters from power- before they kill them all.
Zelensky thinks he is playing the part of the boss

Zelenskyy calls for US to respond to ‘signals’ Russia is ‘preparing to make next year a year of war’
Excerpt:
“Today, we again heard signals from Moscow that they are preparing to make next year a year of war. These signals are not only for us. It is crucial that our partners see them, and not only see them but also respond — especially partners in the United States, who often say that Russia wants to end the war,” Zelenskyy asserted in a post on X.

Fine, we see it. We’ll send blindfolds and last cigarettes to the Ukrainian front lines.
Note they always discuss the money impact never the human impact… They are simply EVIL
What happens when/if Great Britian, France and Germany declare war against Russia and the citizens from their respective countries do not show up to help out?
