Yeah, we knew that already.  Uncle has given several hundred billion dollars to Ukraine.  Might as well set the money on fire and thrown it in Atlantic.

     Like your brilliant leader, Mr.T, you fail to understand
how that works. We put billions in loans and war equipment in the
hands of the Ukranians and they kill Russians. They did not invite
the Russians to come and be killed.
     Vlad Putin the senior Oligarch of Russia sent them to
take over the Ukrainian Nation, a nation recognized by the
UN and other organizations. Russia under the Czars, under the
USSR especially under Stalin was treated very badly so though
they Ukrainians and the Russian are cousins they wanted to
be separate from Russia.

or build their own war equipment. Our makers of war equipment
make more tools of War and profit immensely.
     Over all the Rich get Richer and the Poor get Poorer
which should make your pal of the billionaires much happier,
but maybe we can keep the Ukrainians somewhat free.

Got some real numbers proving that instead of a bunch of old platitudes and pie in the sky wishiwashiness ?  The loans are no good because the underlying collateral has been destroyed.

Ukraine is a disaster and Europe knows it.  We have sent blood and treasure to a foreign power once again and are getting totally screwed. The end result will be the same no matter what we do, Ukraine will be a satellite of Russia.  Any difference from that will end in nuclear weapon exchanges.

Yes.  That is why Berlin will be nuked first when Putin gets tired of the nonsense.

Why do you think that Putin has been living in his bomb shelter under the Kremlin for two years now.

Because his own people are getting upset over the casualties and destruction of the Russian economy.

 This is the truth! In the 2 big cities, things are ok, but have a look at the russian country side, and the anger is increasing in proportion with the bodies that are sent back from Ukraine.
 There is a reason why russian soldiers from the country side are stealing kitchen and bathroom equipment. Russia is bigger than Moscow and St Petersburg and when the country side farmers and serfs get angry, it is game over.
 Also note that russia has a hollow defense. The wagner guy almost managed to take over Moscow without any resistance.

Do you think that Putin can launch nukes if he wants to ?  I have read that the Russian general in charge of the nukes will not take Putin's orders.
I have never been in Russia or Ukraine.  I used to sell my Chemical Engineering process simulation software in both before the war shut me down.  Most, if not all, of the Russian / Ukranian / German pipelines, compressor stations, and natural gas treating / processing facilities were designed using my software.  My agent, a Russian university professor, has left Russia and taken his family out.  They tried to go to Germany but were denied access.
I have been in Europe many times, even lived in London for a while.  I still have customers in Germany, Denmark, France, Sweden, Norway, and a couple of others.  I sell my software all over the world.
