The grand plans of the EU Leadership failed to generate their desired result. Initially, Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer intended to permanently confiscate the Russian sovereign wealth fund and use it to fund their interests in Ukraine. However, the EU coalition didn’t agree.
After 16 hours of failed internal negotiations the EU ended up creating a $90 Billion euro-backed financial loan to Zelenskyy which he will not have to pay back until Russian reparations are paid to Ukraine.
The European elites essentially used EU taxpayers to create an EU loan to Zelenskyy.
EUROPE – BRUSSELS — European governments failed to reach a deal on sending Russian frozen state assets to Ukraine after a 16-hour summit in Brussels, in a major setback for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Countries were forced instead to agree on an emergency backup plan based on EU joint debt that was pushed for weeks by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and was deemed a long shot until hours before the deal was done. In a further blow to EU unity, three countries ― Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic ― won’t take part.
“The bottom line, after today, is that our support for Ukraine is guaranteed,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said as the summit wrapped up at 3 a.m.
The agreement provides a crucial lifeline to Ukraine’s war-battered economy as it grapples with the risk of a looming cash crunch as early as next spring with its conflict with Russia grinding on into a fourth year.
Though the accord allows everyone to claim victory, this wasn’t the solution that Germany and the Commission had been pushing for in the lead-up to this summit. (read more)
So what happens when this runs out?
Another loan?!
<Another loan?!>
Zelenskyy told the EU:
‘Don’t bother me…
Just leave me a loan.’ 🙂
Good one, Wordman. Too funny.
Accrue of Nazis
Every “EU and UK citizen’s” taxes go up.
In the meantime, President Trump has signed the massive $900 billion Defense Bill.
It gives Ukraine $800 million. No strings.
I believe the $800m should be used to fund “Learn To Speak Russian In 90 Days” classes
Most already know Russian. In many cases it was their first language. That includes CIA Puppet Zelensky.
that is a small amount compared to the 9 billion the euro committed to and the 100s of billions we have funded to date – we are phasing out and fast!
Not fast enough in my opinion.
Are you suggesting that the Ukrainian language and culture should be erased and overwritten by Russian?
Hmmm…
Have the Russians not won?
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a flip about the “Ukranian language and culture” Let them eat cake as someone once said.
Who the hell cares. Ukraine spoiled for a fight and got it good and hard. Sucks to be them.
History is important to know.
Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries. Kyiv was the capital of Russia before Moscow. In fact, “The Ukraine” which means the borderlands in Russian is no more of a country than “The Midwest” was ever a country re the United States.
From the phrase “u kraya”.
In America, people speak all kinds of languages and we live with it. Ukraine nazis had a problem with people speaking Russian in the Donbass. Apparently it was one excuse to attack those people.
Disingenuous and still not my problem.
Feel free to ruckup and go save Ukrainian language.
Ukrainian is a Russian dialect, not a separate language.
I believe it is to be used to buy US made military products, see how this works.
And to pay the Congressional “middlemen”.
Don’t leave that part out 😎
And to pay the Congressional
“middlemen”meddle men.*edited for accuracy.

You are sharp tonight! 😉
Actually … it’s a good plan … sell/give our obsolete weapons – in this case to Ukraine – and replaced our old weapons with new, state of the art (code for better) weapons.
yup!
That is what was happening.🤷♀️
And then Biden started trying to grab our stockpiles.🤬
Also, one of the reasons Ukraine has practically no
AD. The remaining Patriot Systems…countries that
have them – even though they are almost obsolete –
are hanging on to them. And the munitions for them..🤷♀️
A lot of money and a lot of time- with all the technology-
to build weapons nowadays.
Except for drones!
The Patriot AD System was rendered a joke in Ukraine. Russia would fire a dozen dummy missiles directly at the Patriot Battery which would fire it’s load of AD missiles, in panic, at the incoming dummies. Then Russia would launch the real thing at the Patriot and destroy it, it’s targeting system and the entire crew!
Jolly simple.
Jolly deadly, Old Boy!
I know….
I have been watching and following since it all began.
Daily. Multiple sources.🤷♀️
It started with my snarky remark and thought…..🤔
🤷♀️ If my taxpayer money is going up in smoke🙄might as
well watch the fireworks show as our equipment gets obliterated –
get something out of the madness 💥 💥
Now I have added strategy and tactics to the fireworks show…along
with….plant the flags,turtle tanks and along with other ingenious
moves like the tunnels….3 times Russians used the tunnel tactic.🤷♀️
The “war porn”….seen way too much, and some things I will never
unsee— or forget.💔 It is true that those who have been in war are
the staunchest anti-war…only the psychopaths like war.
Hazel….waiting for Hazel to make another housecleaning.
And would Really like to see Russia gain control of Odessa! 🙏
Still, I follow….🤷♀️ while praying 🙏 everyday for Peace.🕊️
Just give the money to the manufacturers and politicians and be done with it.
Do we still have to set aside 10% for the “big guy”?
Maybe buy a few paintings while we’re at it…………..
Defence of your own country may be justified but propping up a country 4700 miles away on a different continent surrounded by many neighbors is in my book obscene. No one wants to hold Zelensky and his government accountable for the way they have handled the situation and war especially since they were offered a far better deal early in 2022.
Grrrrrrrr. Will it ever stop?
Dumb – who authorized him to give $800 million of OUR money to this ridiculous effort?
101 reasons why im done contributing,
Your representatives. Let them know how you feel about that.
Unfortunately, they could not care less about what their constituents think.
True dat.
But with this loan the EU is giving Ukraine that much every week for the next two years!
What is Trump doing – is he crazy? Why would he encourage Z?
More BS and deception.
Zelensky will be back on his corner with his hand out begging for more alms.
Maybe Obama had the right idea, we’ll send Zelensky blankets and pillows from Mike Lindell.
And Trump will be there to contribute – apparently. I am stumped at how how he is handling this situation. Where is the fighter, the guy who knows everything about everybody? Did he go into hiding?
You mean when they’ve stolen it all ??
Russia will have collapsed into all the smaller independent Countries that Putin invaded by then. ….. Of course China will have grabbed a slice.
I’m sure that the US congress, memebers of the IC and DC in general has their stock portfolios adjusted to benefit from this, too.
never question this. always bet on war and inflation. always. 4,000 years of recorded human history say this always wins.
Seems like just stealing the money but with extra steps. What’s the interest rate? Who is the interest paid to? The collateral owner Russia? I mean it probably doesn’t matter because the “loan” will never be repaid and the money will dissapear into everyones pockets but then what? Collateral stands as a guarantee against default. Will they seize the collateral when Zboy doesn’t make his payments? The whole thing is asinine.
How much goes towards the Biden library? Maybe Ukraine should pay for the whole thing.
When I think of the Biden Library, I imagine the movie set of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
That’s less than a hundred bucks.
That’s how Nancy does it…
lol If the stipulation is that Zelensky doesn’t have to worry about repaying the money until he receives Russian reparations, then realistically the money is a grant, not a loan – the Russians have no interest in helping Zelensky repay one euro, as the European overlords know.
J
That stipulation was just pap for the tax payers.
Yes, why do they think Russia is going to give them ANYTHING? Why should they?
Is Ukraine even a country? They can only exist if someone else props them up? I don’t see how Lil- Z can talk about retaining territory when he has to ask someone else to pay.
I guess the EUweenies actually believe that Russia will pay the Ukraine reparations!!! This is laughable!!! The EU can kiss those funds goodbye just like we have with the billions we have sent the Ukraine!!! The Ukraine honey pot is filled up once again this time by the EUweenies themselves!!! Funding a lost cause will results in lost funds!!!! JMO
Bubby read this incredibly well written letter to the Euroweenies by Jeffrey Sachs.
Jeffrey Sachs: An Open Letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz: Security Is Indivisible — and History Matters
https://scheerpost.com/2025/12/18/jeffrey-sachs-an-open-letter-to-chancellor-friedrich-merz-security-is-indivisible-and-history-matters/
The reality of the situation is that it’s the Russians that have a legitimate case to seek Reparations from them!
It’s not the Russians that took this all to where it now is- as Mr.Sachs does a fine job in explaining here.
The only consolation is that we are out only $800 million and not the BILLIONS as it has been in the past.
“………we are out only $800 million………”
So far………..
Hopefully the kiss off?
If there are any freedom lovers left in Europe I think war is about to break out, but not in Ukraine.
The EU leaders may soon be hoisted on their own petards.
🤞
And I’d like to know where they think they’ll escape too- the whole world is watching the giant mess they’ve made of it all.
We definitely don’t need any Elite Squatters stinking America up- this is for sure.
My understanding is that the money has been authorized but not yet appropriated.
Doggone! Just in time! HURRY UP with that next boat ‘o coke before orangemanbad blows them all up!
Man, that’s allot a boatloads!!!
What makes them think Russia will pay reparations? Wouldn’t this make the European Union have a vested interest in Russia paying reparations? They shouldn’t be part of a peace plan then.
Exactly 👍
People are dumb, especially the American politicians, funding this toddler with more American taxpayers money. Stupid.
Are you getting as rich as they are?
Dear President TRUMP… Please Take the USA OUT of NATO and the United Nations, PRONTO! Let them Sink in their Own Stupidity… We already have more STUPID within our Own Borders than what WE the People Need, or WANT.
Yup. As long as we remain a part of any of those orgs, they know they can drag us back in.
Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US. My cry for years.
Same here, 3X. The EU has never lived up to the financial burden. Time to cut the cord, IMO.
Way past time, actually.
Isn’t borrowing money that you’re going to pay back from future reparations like borrowing money that you’re going to pay back from what you’re going to get from an uncle you’ve never met when he dies?
Its like placing a bet, knowing you will lose, losing, and then expecting the winner to pay the under anyway.
Not gonna happen.
You’re overlooking their ideals about the beauty of socialism. In their mind they’re borrowing other people’s money, so they’ll simply pay it back using other people’s money.
Follow me for more financial advice…………..
“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today”
Wimpy Economics.
Ursula von der Leyen, Frederich Merz, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer will all be judged one day for their deception, lies, and effort to destroy a free way of life for the citizens of the EU/UK.
It is a shame we can not hand them over to their citizens and let them be the judges of what these 4 deserve.
But why are we taxpayers paying for this foolishness wrought by our own President?
Just a few posts in and you’re really getting out over your skis little joanie. You’re a splitter concern troll. I’ll not defend our president to you or your kind, but his record speaks for itself. As does your party’s record.
The citizens of the EU and the UK are nothing but tax cattle.
I think the serfs of the former republic of the US would say they are on the same boat.
tax cattle. cool.
Also tax farmers.
Tax Slaves for life.
With great plans like this “loan “, it is no longer a coalition of the willing, it’s a coalition of the stupid.
Hard to believe, isn’t it.
Merz and von der Leyen and the rest of the fools think the Ukrainians will be able to repay their “loan” with reparations from Russia? Are they nuts? Putin isn’t going to agree to pay anything, at least not unless Z buckles and agrees to let him have all the territory and everything else he has been demanding, but even that is only a remote possibility because he may well get all that without paying any reparations.
No, those EU grifters are really hoping that the United States will give Ukraine so much money for rebuilding that they will get their money back that way. They are hoping the U.S. will continue being gold-plated suckers, and the Senate will probably do their best (or worst) to make sure of that.
Obviously they are not paying it back, they are thieves trying to roll Russia. Russia warned them and EU wants war. Why the heck Trump would give a penny to lil Z is baffling to me. Brits already said “prepare to sacrifice your kids to war”.
Putin and Trump are up against the cartel of London and they want war to hide behind.
Another thing, there is no Brits or London, no cabinet, no politicians in EU after the money dries up, they are physical entities of theft and extortion that cannot survive or even appear without stolen billions. Like demons, they move from one host to the next and truly they are demons.
I believe if people could actually see what is attached to money, wealth, these thieves and politicians they would rebuke it all. At least I hope they would. It’s disgusting to see a nation that sacrifices their children for money, mammon. Most of them cherish their dog or cat over another humans life. Tell me that is not straight from hell.
Agree! Great post!!
👏 👍 👏
Pat Buchanan has said this too.
george kennan.
but kids these days are f’ing pissed off as hell at the older generation in general and have have wisened up to what’s really going on
fat chance they’re risking their lives for walmart, chevron and blackrocck
those who cannot be named are going to find they’re declaring waar sans soldiers
f’em
This is all true.
I hope it is not a foregone conclusion that the US is going to re-build the Ukraine. Or have I missed something?
of course we are
that’s where the second half of the grift lies
Unfortunately America will remain very much entangled in this mess. The EU and UK are determined to keep it going so the best result would be for the Russian Federation to continue to grind on until they feel their Special Operation goals are met.
It’s winning, even if in a small way.
The voices of reason and non-pretending appear to be getting louder.
We may not live that long.
It’s still a win, even if it’s only by inches.
Gotta celebrate no matter how small; celebrations set intentions to keep at it so each small step forward instead of backward is always a good day.
I think having the leader of Hungary, backed up by the leaders of Italy and Poland are making a huge dent in that European Union coalition, nations finding their footing again and remembering why they are a separate nation is really, actually, very encouraging to see.
Imagine being the idiot who signs on to supply funds for that loan…
the EU ended up creating a $90 Billion euro-backed financial loan to Zelenskyy
Which were not approved of by the parliaments of various countries
Which were not voted for by the citizens of various countries
Which had nothing to do with legal obligations – Ukraine is neither in NATO nor the EU.
Meanwhile back home in these countries there are serious financial difficulties and struggling citizens.
Printing press be running real hot tonight……….
Takes out a loan from who, exactly???
Chy-nah?
I think the correct word is “whom” – just being funny – we must keep our sense of humor or all is lost.
the tax cattle.
i stole that.
Geez Louise, those poor saps
Dollars to seconds
1 million seconds = 11.5 days
1 billion seconds = 31.6 years
1 trillion seconds = 31,688 years
Hard to grasp the amount of money the world leaders toss around.
War reparations, Russia to Ukraine, will be the new added stumbling block to end the Conflict bu the EU … along side return borders of the EU’s Ukraine Province to those associated with the 2014 Minsk Minsk Accord.
There is a precedent the EU may try to use as a means to grab Russian Frozen Assets (a shaky one at best) …. for a very long time after WWII, the War Reparations owed by the Germans was used as a piggy bank (Checking Account) by the ALL the Western Allies (except the US). If some debt or money issue came up between Post-WWII Germany and a European NATO member … the amount was just stricken from the German War Reparations Debt. I saw this first hand when the UK and French Troops caused allot maneuver damage on exercises … they just subtracted the cost of the damage from the German War debt.
or even more interesting …
There is now a dubious looking “Ukraine Fund” being traded on US Stock Markets and likely to be seen soon on the EU National Markets (i.e. DAX, FTSE, Euronext, etc.). I envision the Ukraine paying off loans and future financing with shares of Ukraine Fund.
I’m having trouble imagining how such a fund would work.
What would the business model be? Why would anyone invest?
Even if it were being used nefariously, I don’t see how.
Guess I don’t have much imagination.
The USA cannot brag but a note to the EU:
How do you go bankrupt? Slowly at first, then all at once.
TRUMP SHOCKS THE WORLD WITH HIS POWER PLAY AGAINST ZELENSKY IN OVAL OFFICE
What a bunch of morons – led by the head moron Zelensky. Good on the three countries that declined to participate in this suicide mission. What are they getting out of this debacle that they would go to such lengths?
Zelensky is nothing more than a crisis actor/criminal/grifter. A pervert/deviant also. He’s as legitimate as Weekend at Bernie’s Biden was.
The EU Globalists want Russia — their resources and for the country to be divided up so they can keep plundering at will.
As the ladies on Promethean Action explain, the business model of these a******* is war and then taking the spoils. In that model people don’t matter.
Ukraine is part of the strategy with the ultimate goal to take Russia.
President Trump is fighting that business model.
think about that too. those countries had the soviet boot on their throats for decades. now they are more scared of brussels than putin.
Total disaster. Just to keep the money spigot open for the oligarchs, they saddle the serfs with impossible debt. Disgraceful and outrageous.
Grand Theft Euro.
Lunacy.
So long as the EU oligarchs and Ukraine’s totalitarian regime can continue to profit from it, the killing will continue.
Prolonging a war and intentionally derailing peace efforts for the sole purpose of profiteering should be a prosecutable human rights crime. But, “coincidentally” the International Criminal Court is located in The Hague, under the thumb of the EU.
Imagine disallowing Russian 💰 to be used fund a war against itself?! 🤔
If real Ukrainians controlled the Ukraine. They wouldn’t get a dime. The bolshevick oligarchs always enrich themselves at the expense of others.
Blood = $$$$
What a mess.
Eliminate Little Z, that’s a start!
As I understand it the unholy desperation to get this money approved was driven by around 40B of Euro/$ loans becoming due for repayment by Ukraine in Q1 2026. Were Ukraine to default on said loans the European banks were at risk of going bust, dragging the whole market down.
So a significant chunk of this money will be staying in the EU. One of the more expensive cases of kicking the can down the road as well as private banks taking the profit whilst the taxpayers bear the loss.
How many more mansions around the world will this fraudulent stooge purchase and how many multi million dollar Bugatti cars will his wife purchase ?
How many more military leaders and politicians stuff suitcases with millions and go on vacation ?
Many of the Ukrainian privileged are spending in Europe like there is no tomorrow.
Loans that are not loans and that is crystal clear just like all the U.S. taxpayers money that has disappeared into pockets and pensions and construction.
It’s no coincidence that, as the Christian faith of Europeans has grown weaker, and as the Muslim population of Europe has skyrocketed, individual liberty has slowly died on that continent. That’s what makes this Grand Theft Euro possible.
America is on the same path, though not yet as far as Europe.
I pray that Christian Revival would spread like wildfire across both of our continents and around the world, and that God would heal our lands.
So, they can’t steal from the Russians. Alas, another victim must be found. The EU cannot survive is suicidal pact with the Ukrainian midget and his band of merry thieves. The bell will eventually toll, and it will toll for them.
everyone knows they are going to seize Russia’s assets to pay those loans
If I file for bankruptcy maybe I could get a loan from the EU to tide me over. As soon as my situation resolves positively, I promise to pay it back.
HE MUST HAVE A GOOD CREDIT SCORE
We need to just walk away from this mess and the true causes need to be exposed for EVERYONE to see

Always a good thing when unelected EU-crats govern against popular will.
Europe has a very long tradition of civil unrest that leads to the deaths of their overlords at the hands of the peasants.
>> The European elites essentially used EU taxpayers to create an EU loan to Zelenskyy.
Well, there is an interesting concept /s
Apparently they at least agonized over it longer than our uniparty did.
A LOAN from Whom???
What happens when Russia refuses to pay reparations which they should refuse to pay.
..they got ready…Dr.Oreschniks….in the Belarus and around Moscow….
I saw reports on that….
Hazel! And will not be surprised if used again in future.
Way overdue.🤷♀️ in his speech the other day Putin said 94%
of nuclear has been modernized.
Probably means the…..Dead Hand….too!
I wouldn’t make fun of those stinky Euros taking out loans to fund their war. Didn’t we merkins do the same with every dollar that we sent over there? It was all paid for with money we really don’t have.
Zelensky will burn $90 billion in a year with half stolen. If President Trump is sincere about not funding Ukraine or Radcliffe using CIA dark money behind our backs the EU will be belly-up before Ukraine is!
They knew that if they confiscated Russian funds in EU banks that Moscow would confiscate the much larger amount of EU’s funds held in Russian banks. That would just never do.
