Why are we spending billions on Ukraine when our banks are collapsing?

[progressive hunter]

I'm sure Putin is alerting the FSB to help DeSantis all they can.

here we go again,,,

not sure what him being jewish had to do with it,, hitler had a lot of jews working with him,,,

Define "lots". A lot of Jews in the 1920s didn't react to Hitler and the Nazis because they wrote them off as a joke. I seriously doubt Hitler had a lot of Jews working with him once he stripped them of their citizenship.

ukraine also has a history of being the most corrupt in eastern europe,,

So does Russia, but Ukraine is trying to change their history; Russia is trying to repeat history.

You do realize your party loved Putin, till he told Obama to kiss his ass? Liberals loved him.

Yep. And good old Ronny Boy will gladly accept it.

The dark money alone is probably going to be flowing from the Kremlin and from sympathizers all over the world. At least many of the oligarchs are sanctioned.

Zelensky is a Jewish comedian. WTF is up with this Nazi shit?
Putin invaded a sovereign country. NATO should admit Ukraine and end the war.

Bullshit, Biden lead Putin to believe Ukraine was going to be a part of NATO. When he knew they wasn’t. Biden does have a role in this.

If our banks started falling like dominoes, how many do you think we could save being $30+ trillion in debt?

It really is a moot point!

No sign yet that the SVB collapse is a sign of a wider systemic vulnerability across the banking system. If anything it's a warning to some others who may be playing close to the edge.

Putin doesn't get to decide who can join NATO.

Sorry to ask the obvious question. I really want to know. Shouldn't we use that money to insure we don't crash into a Great Depression? Did they think we would just not notice the blatant disconnect?

Ukraine and bad banking business are not one and the same.

 

[jknowgood]

He will not stop at Ukraine. I don't mean that he will attack NATO militarily, but he will do whatever he can to divide the US and European allies. Putin and Xi are collaborating to pick apart the US alliance, to weaken our dollar, to weaken our geopolitical strength.

You're a drama queen. Lol

Did someone say Nazis?

Worse Than Nazis – PMC Wagner’s Role in Ukraine​

Is it possible to surpass the brutality of Nazi war criminals – it seems the Private Military Company Wagner is out to do just that.

Even the name is no coincidence – Richard Wagner was Hitler’s favorite composer. Word has it that the head of the Wagner group, Dmitry Utkin, is a fan of the Third Reich, and, therefore, gave the group this name.

The Wagner PMC mercenaries have been involved in a long list of crimes during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine – atrocities in Bucha; the recent attack on Azov war prisoners in the Olenivka correctional colony. Even the militant that castrated a Ukrainian prisoner with a clerical knife in the latest video could also be a member of the Wagner group.

PMC Wagner is a Russian private military organization that, according to journalistic investigations, is financed through Yevgeny Prigozhin – a member of Putin’s “inner circle”. PMC Wagner took part in military operations in Ukraine in 2014, in Syria, Lybia, and in African countries.

Who Are The Neo-Nazis Fighting For Russia In Ukraine?​

The video, published in December 2020, showed two nattily dressed Russian men -- waistcoats, pocket squares, silk ties – sipping American whiskey in brandy snifters and discussing killing Ukrainians.

"I'm a Nazi. I’m a Nazi,” said one of the men, Aleksei Milchakov, who was the main focus of the video published on a Russian nationalist YouTube channel. “I'm not going to go deep and say, I’m a nationalist, a patriot, an imperialist, and so forth. I’ll say it outright: I’m a Nazi.”

“You have to understand that when you kill a person, you feel the excitement of the hunt. If you’ve never been hunting, you should try it. It’s interesting,” he said.

[snip]

Along with members of the Russian Imperial Movement, a white supremacist group that was designated a "global terrorist" organization by the United States two years ago, Rusich is one of several right-wing groups that are actively fighting in Ukraine, in conjunction with Russia’s regular armed forces or allied separatist units.

According to a confidential report by Germany’s Federal Intelligence Service, which was obtained by Der Spiegel and excerpted on May 22, numerous Russian right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis are fighting in Ukraine.

German analysts wrote that the fact that Russian military and political leaders have welcomed neo-Nazi groups undermines the claim by Putin and his government that one of the principal motives behind the invasion is the desire to “de-Nazify” Ukraine, Spiegel said.

Signs of Neo-Nazi Ideology Amongst Russian Mercenaries​

Instances of far-right leanings among some members of the armed forces is not unheard of in many other parts of the world, including Europe and North America. This is an increasingly common problem in Russia as well. Even more, the type of far-right ideology expressed in Russian mercenaries is showing homage to Nazi ideology.

This type of ideology espoused by Russian mercenaries remains anathema in a country where millions died fighting Nazis during World War II. The slogan “to fight fascism” was one of the rallying points inviting Russian volunteers to fight in Donbas against “Ukrainian Fascists”. Russian President Putin has called Ukraine a fascist country numerous times, yet the numerous mercenaries who went to fight in Donbas, Syria and Libya are neo-nazis themselves. This article analyses some of the available open source evidence, shedding light on Russian mercenaries’ extreme ideology.

Dmitry Utkin (Wagner)​

In 2016, Utkin was invited at a Hero of the Fatherland reception in the Kremlin, where he was photographed wearing his medals. This event was attended by more than 300 soldiers and civilians, who have “demonstrated particular courage and heroism” and were personally thanked for their service by Putin himself. At the event he was awarded with the Order for Courage, allegedly for his services in Ukraine.


A photo recently surfaced of Utkin with Nazi tattoos, giving additional proof of his ideological leanings. For those who been following Wagner group for some time this photos was not surprising, as his and a lot of Wagner fighters’ ideological inclinations were already known. The photo originally surfaced on Russian VK accounts and a Telegram group affiliated with the mercenaries, but received interest by media outlets just recently.


Taking a closer look at the photos, Nazi collar tabs with Waffen SS bolts on the left and military rank on the right can be identified. Lower on the chest, a Reichsadler Eagle, can be seen. All three of these tattoos are symbols found Waffen-SS military uniforms, which was the military branch of the Nazi Party’s SS organization.


Here are the REAL Nazis in the house:

The Nazis are fighting with Putin.

What to know about the Wagner group, a 'brutal' Russian military group fighting in Ukraine

Because the political class has too many crimes buried there.

Some of our banks are taking more risks than they should. Frankly having a few of the worst offenders go under would send the right message. Russia wants to take over anywhere they can. That would also effect our banks and potentially our rights, property and lives. Better to stop them over there than over here.

No shit, what part of Biden telling Putin that they were going to let Ukraine join NATO. Didn't you understand? Before the invasion

How many major U.S. corporations were up Putin's ass doing business over there for years raking in billions knowing full well what he was capable of & what he had done to even his own people?

Plenty. The list is as long as my arm.

It really is a moot point!

The SVB / Signature deposits not covered by FDIC are a couple hundred billion. We have given 100 billion to Ukraine. Our children and grandchildren and their social security and medicare financial health inherit all this debt. They are ALREADY going broke. Don't ask why your Millennial kids hate your sorry liberal Ukraine-loving ass. They should.

Then why did Obama ask him to wait till after the election, to talk about arm's reductions?
