I never knew "loan" was a synonym for "act of war."

I guess Putin will acquire some Ukrainian assets to offset the loaned Russian assets. Gonna get real interesting!

So, just so we're clear... collecting from Russia = theft. Collecting from US taxpayer = what?


I was just trying to stay on the subject matter and connect them.

Taxation being legal gunpoint is for another thread, which I would also like to go down the rabbit hole with any willing contributors, if you’d like to start it.

His point is that it’s the seizing of the assets that’s the story here…not the “loan”.

I don’t think you understand what is going on. Dems have been floating the idea of stealing that money and giving it to Ukraine. This “loan” is pretty clearly a step in that direction.

He's an obviously oblivious Boomer.

How exactly is taking Russian assets (much of which is US Treasury Notes) and giving it to Ukraine a "loan"?

So if it comes from Russian assets it is a loan and if it comes from our pockets it is a gift.

Then give it back. All on the backs of their citizens.

Russia says “Thanks for holding my beer”

In other words. The UN says “ We seized your assets, paid Ukraine to shoot it back to you. Then our citizens gave you the money back”

One big circle jerk. By Government employees with nothing better to do.

Simple solution, far cheaper? Fire the Government employees ……and don’t replace them.

Once you study it in detail. Over educated stupid people are far more dangerous than one uneducated person with a pitchfork.

Cite where Trump suggested using funds from seized Russian assets.

Not seeing that here.

It's not a matter of being ""scared"" of risk.

It is a matter of understanding risk in order to mitigate it.

We’ve been giving away obsolete military hardware since the beginning of WW2. MANY small nations have whole navy vessels under the “Lease” program. Some of the “loaned” ships are even credited with being instrumental in several various naval battles in both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Several of the “borrowers” are now the sources of our illegal alien problem including China and a couple of SA nations.

To date, not one ship has been returned nor paid any cash towards purchasing.
