Probably about the time the spelling of paid is changed to payed.
So when the loan clears he can pay us back for the support we gave him.
Cannot make this $**t up.
Us and our kids get robbed of 10s of billions, this greasy little WEF POS passes it right to Blackrock - after taking his cut.
They actually flaunt their cronyism and corruptuion on the world stage... arrogantly.
Same gene pool. 👹
They have to be on the dole for someone. It just doesn’t make sense.
Grifters working with grifters. Just warms the heart, doesn’t it?
“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”
-Smedley D. Butler,United States Marine Corps Major General 1933
Let me guess... the loans will be backed with US (taxpayer) guarantees?
Loans, my arse. They will never pay back a flat dime.
Soros and Son. Proprietors of the Ukraine junkyard.
Where did you pull that out of?
1. Russia is not going to lose. They hold the moral imperative and are intellectually & financially superior.
2. Zelensky is merely distributing laundered money to the deep state that is Ukraine.
3. BlackRock is the largest Deep State entity on earth.
Davos is where governments fish for foreign investment, and CEO’s fish for government contracts and subsidies. The high-flown rhetoric is just gift-wrapping on what is largely a social event for bigwigs in politics and business. For all the virtue-signaling over green initiatives, poor countries have extended their palms, and wealthy ones have mostly stonewalled. The analogy is to the Pope talking about income inequality. It’s meaningless platitude piled upon meaningless platitude.
George Soros not attending World Economic Forum due to 'scheduling conflict'
The number of fatal victims in Dnipro has risen to 40.
Rescue-workers have also spotted a body buried beneath the rubble, with one arm sticking out, but have not been able to reach that floor yet.

Like, ok, I understand that you’re poor, constantly stressed about money and necessity to pay the bills. I also understand that you’re envious about yachts and villas. That doesn’t mean that “they’re crooks” theory is all explaining. If they were, this war just wouldn’t start
“They’re just crooks” narrative is not successful, because it is so true. It is so successful, because people are obsessed with their unreflected envy and cannot distance from it. If this war is going on, it means they’re not *just* crooks. They’re something else, too
This goes far beyond Russian problem though. Much of the moral fervour induced narratives (Crooks! Corruption!) draw their strengths from the meanest human instincts. Hence their success. People are so incredibly envious, that their critical thinking just turn off at some point
Honestly I’m just tired of this constant moral fervour. If the missiles 1) take off 2) hit the target, it means “they are all about stealing” theory is false. Or rather used far beyond its limits of applicability. If the stuff works, plenty of managers steal little to nothing
I would even say that if the missiles take off, that suggests there are (not so few) administrators who are not only not crooks, but who are absolutely selfless. Who identify with their work 100% and are ready for personal self-sacrifice. That’s why stuff works
Russian capacity to raise cities to the ground is not based on “crookery” (how did you come up with this insanity?). It is based on hard work, integrity and personal self-sacrifice of not so few people. Proof? Cities razed to the ground]
Even the UK ran out of cash to finance its war against Germany, and only the Channel Islands were ever occupied by Germany. And this was the empire upon which the sun never set, possessor of vast holdings in Asia and Africa mostly untouched by Axis occupation.
Before long, however, the British empire was bankrupt and could no longer afford to buy the American goods it needed, nor was there anything of value left to trade. Shortly after Roosevelt’s election to his third term in November 1940, he came up with a bold plan to help the British, Lend-Lease. Essentially, Lend-Lease stated that the United States would give Britain whatever it needed in order to fight the Nazis. Once Britain won the war, the the two countries would sit down and figure out exactly how much Britain owed the United States. Roosevelt used the analogy that if your neighbor’s house is on fire you wouldn’t stand around arguing about the price of your garden hose. Rather, you’d give him the hose and he could pay once the crisis was over.]
