    It’s approaching half a billion dollars, with no end in sight. And what do the Ukrainians get, other than oligarchs skimming it? More war, more death, and no future?

    Between the predatory IMF and war loans, their grandchildren’s grandchildren will still be paying this generational debt. All while Blackrock has privatized every vestige of public institutions.

    The West’s corporations and billionaires are terrified that Ukrainians actually might democratically choose Russian annexation, which would wipe out this debt, privatization, and austerity overnight.

    I’d take that deal in a heartbeat.

    But let them vote and they can choose themselves.

        Bringing the world to nuclear armageddon is preferable to simply letting people vote for themselves?

        For such a supposedly staunch ally of Ukrainians, you sure don’t have much faith in them.

        But it never was about them, was it?

          Who’s going to use the nukes? Ukraine doesn’t have any. Ukrainians will vote once the ruskis are defeated. The Ukrainian refugees in Europe will go home and bring the idea of being part of European Union is an invaluable asset.

              Who’s going to use the nukes? Answer the question. You’re so worried about death but which country is actively invading the other? You’re so worried about lack of elections but what about the Russians that see their vote as worthless since Putin has total control? Who invaded who, again?

              Answer the questions!

                The Donbass democratically seceded after the coup in 2014. Banderites and their slave conscripts are occupying it, albeit an ever shrinking portion.

                  Keep telling yourself that. What about the other questions?

                    When the Donbass democratically seceded Tymoshenko was overheard on an intercepted phone call with the Biden Administration demanding that Moscow be “turned into glass”.

                    It’s not just a fascist death cult, it’s a apocalyptic doomsday fascist death cult.

              Oh come now, that’s not even close to what they said. Sheesh with this nonsense.
