Obama gets to throw away more devaluing US dollars, while proclaiming his defense of freedom, and paying Putin at the same time - quite an accomplishment.

Ain't it just. :-(

Actually Zerohedge has had a few other pieces showing that the initial 3 - 9 $bn in loans to Ukraine will end directly in Moscow's (and/or Beijing's) coffers. There may be some legal wrangling, but if history is any guide, eventually Ukraine (or rather US and European tax payers) will have to pay up.

Just wonderful!

Will The First $3 Billion Of A Ukraine Bailout Immediately Go To Russia?

Apparently Ukraine owes China as well in the same type of government bonds. So by pushing Ukraine into a trade deal with the EU, EU and the US will have to take over all the debts to Russia, as well as having to help Ukraine to pay full price on the Russian gas. What a deal!

Got it....Russia increases its size, population, economy and access to the Black Sea. Its debts owed by basket case western Ukraine get paid off by the US, adding to our debt. And Russia gets kicked out of their G7or8 because Russia is now larger, stronger, increased its coastline, and is getting some debts to it paid off? Meanwhile, western Ukraine victim populations and adjacent countries are going to have those darn Nazis on the loose.

And why's this? Well, a violent spree by thugs in Kiev (western Ukraine) and a coup gov which for some reason is allowed to legislate has been embraced by EU and other grabby banker/globalist elitists. And silly me wonders why shouldn't eastern Ukranians and others shouldn't be allowed to vote against being governed by a coup.
