#15  Bailing out Ukraine will be unaffordable. We're talking trillions. They basically have no GDP left.

#14  It’s a terrible thing to admit, but it depends on the Yurps. They are scared of Russia, but the closer Russia gets, the scarier it gets. Losing Ukraine would be unaffordable.

#13  PrivatBank diagram and details of a Ukrainian opposition party's press conference from December 2020 showing the money flows.

There's also an American grifter (Alan Apter) plus a Polish politician (Kwasnieski) on the receiving end as well

#12  Archer got grabbed for something having nothing to do with the central issue

as with Capone

Dumping him via criminal indictment is a bridge too far.

Who needs an indictment?

#10  The Feds already have evidence (wire transfer data) on Hunter for money laundering.

Where it gets sticky for The Big Guy is that his efforts to bolt from the failed Ukrainian adventure pits him against two headstrong little anti-Russian patrons: Zelensky and the government of Latvia. The Latvian authorities broke the story about fraud and money laundering (Privatbank is domiciked in Latvia).

If The Big Guy pisses off either Z or the Natvuans or both, he may be facing serious blowback. Plenty of Deep Staters see Biden as a serious liability and would be happy to help Z and the Latvians expose Biden.

#9  ^ like the few people caught up in the Mueller's egg noodles farce, Archer got grabbed for something having nothing to do with the central issue.

#7  Z has the goods on The Big Guy. He wants to wash his hands of Z.

But now the Democrats want to throw Biden under the bus. So Biden's hurrying to bury Z -- probably with a fat payoff and secure transit on a C-17 to one of his multi-million dollar villas in Miami or Tel Aviv.

#5  Zelensky and his sugar daddy, Kolomoisky, know Privatbank well. They're expert money launderers themselves. They know all the details of Hunter's, Archer's, Apter's, and Kerry's numbered accounts.

#4  Zelensky has the goods on Biden and his son. Look at those laptop files. Search for Privatbank.

#3  ^Plenty here to go around. Media not so much here but in small amounts present. Just able to tolerate. In day to working with public the insanity and absurdity is increasing dramatically. IE; three best presidents, Grant, Carter and Biden, that from a Vietnam Vet. Biden supporters and there are many, best President, best economy ever and speak otherwise they reply, OH you get your news from Fox. Now that money stress increases they don't mellow at all. I see this most among the local caucasian types(all ages).

#2  Are you claiming there is no propaganda coming from Russia?

#1  "Kremlin war propagandists"

🤡

It's over, Fred.
Biden's cutting 'em loose.
The ammo's run out, deserters everywhere you look, the money's gone
