Yesterday I addressed what I termed the Great Unraveling. I took that from an article by Alastair Crooke, which concluded: Events in Gaza and in Ukraine are unravelling long-standing political power control structures in the EU, in Europe and in the US. This is why there is panic and double-down.
This will surprise nobody here, but indicative of how long it will take to turn this barge around, no matter the stated changes in official policy. Inertia (especially, as insidious/deep-seated as here) always finds a way:
Well, Kudos to Johnson for standing strong (for now) on the 60bn. The necons know that 60bn or 600bn won't make any difference to the outcome, so it's one last effort at filling the pork barrel before things go south.
I’m not a finance guy but I always wondered why blocking money to Ukraine caused so much hysteria, after all shipping weapons stockpiles would be long term loan contracts or for obsolete weapons simply transport costs or donations.
I wonder if the money is simply temporarily propping up the entire Ukrainian state.
A million soldiers at $2000 a month, not to mention lost revenue from the East, arms manufacturing, and millions of working aged people leaving the country, hundreds of thousands disabled or dead and agricultural blockades, how can it continue to pay the bills?
I’d say it is high time we gave Chicken Little credit: the sky IS falling, and a huge chunk just fell on V Nuland’s head, consigning, many of us hope, the US’ Russiaphobic daredevilry to the dustbin. Foxy Loxys of the world, take note!
M. K. Bhadrakumar Missed in his article that Putin feels lied to on Minsk Accords, and Merkel and the French President even admitted it was meant to buy time.
My guess is Trump by being elected made the deepstate do another Syria on him, where they said one thing, and did another.
And the Trump got all lubed up, and touched a third rail of American politics due to all the dark money flowing from Ukraine into US politics, with both hands, by asking about Biden’s corruption to the Ukraine President. Which Trump then got impeached over.

They may have already spent it and need the funds before the checks start bouncing.

Question-
How does Israel benefit from the USSA going out on a limb and cutting the branch off behind them?
Is it wanton hubris or something nefarious?
