Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[BeBMan]

$400b 4 reconstruction. I bet the Donbas wont be seeing that money. Actually I think it will, Russia will rebuild the Donbas and unfreezing Russian assets will be part of the deal. It'll be our money sinking into that cesspool of corruption in Kiev.

Much easier -- just return it to Ukraine.

[Berzerker]

Do you have one scintilla of evidence of less corruption in the Donbas than kiev?

does our money go thru Kiev or Donetsk?

[Berzerker]

As usual, just more opinions and assumptions. Donbas needs to be rebuilt because your hero Putin destroyed it with his troops... as they killed and raped the people you claim he was saving.
Oh, and in case you missed it... Russia is a rat hole for corruption.

The preceding contains no opinions or assumptions

We're not funding Russia

Bloomberg: White House supports using frozen Russian assets to compensate Ukraine for war damages

The White House supports “in principle” a bill that would allow for a portion of frozen Russian assets to be confiscated and subsequently allocated for Ukraine’s reconstruction, reports Bloomberg, citing a memo the U.S. National Security Council sent to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in November.

A senior Biden administration official said this is one of several possible methods the U.S. is considering in order to compel Russia to compensate Ukraine for war damages. According to the World Bank’s estimates, Ukraine may need at least $411 billion for its reconstruction.

The National Security Council and the office of Ben Cardin, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, did not comment. The U.S. State Department said that the U.S. government and its G7 partners are “exploring all options consistent with our respective legal systems and international law to aid Ukraine in obtaining compensation from Russia.”

Western countries froze approximately half of the Russian Central Bank’s foreign exchange reserves, around $300 billion, after the full-scale war began in Ukraine. Most of these funds are located in Europe. Since at least fall 2022, E.U. leaders have been discussing the possibility of using these assets.

[Bereta_Eder]

Maybe it's chance and maybe Greece is to blame and not biden
but since biden took over and with a vast air supremacy of Greece

Greek and turkish relations are at an all time high

with trump it was war in the next day

[Uncle Sparky]

He knows words. Trump has the best words.

[pchang]

It must be true since Trump said it.

[Dauphin]

Its too bad Trump lost, Ukraine would have been spared this war.

Too bad Trump wasn't around in the 19th Century. The US could have avoided the Civil War through his Art of the Deal negotiation skills.
