The West has funneled more money into Ukraine than the entire nation’s GDP. The nation was considered a corrupt pariah by the West who would not allow Ukraine into any bloc formed from NATO to the European Union. Now, the European Union is virtue signaling by claiming it has covered Ukraine’s budget deficit next fiscal year.
None of these nations can overcome their deficits. Of course, the funding did not come from these governments but rather from the stolen Russian funds confiscated at the beginning of the war. The next €30 billion of transferred stolen assets will allegedly pay off Ukraine’s full deficit.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, praised the West for robbing Russia to pay Ukraine. “We know that 2025 is going to be a decisive year… we have to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Looking back, Europe has so far provided Ukraine with almost €130 billion. We have secured economic and financial stability until the end of 2025. That is good news. And with the Ukraine Facility and our G7 loan, we are even covering most of Ukraine’s financing gap for 2025. This is a major achievement,” she said.
The elites claim these funds amount to money that the Russian oligarchs stole from the Russian people, but that is simply not the case. The West has confiscated assets from a foreign nation during a time of peace as Ukraine is not in the NATO alliance. Now, the West is using those illegally confiscated assets to attack its adversary. This is complete and total economic warfare. China and others are taking note.
They stipulate this by saying they will only loan Ukraine money made on the profits of holding these assets. The risk will be shared among the G7 nations, and this risk is substantial, for Ukraine will no longer exist as a nation when this is over based on our computer models. Zelensky is too busy stuffing his pockets to care about his people or the future. He is banking on NATO invading Russia and extinguishing it as a country so he can then seize all the assets of Russia for Ukraine.
These nations are teetering on the edge by using these assets as collateral. Putin could confiscate ALL assets held by Western countries and private/public corporations under these new economic warfare tactics that completely violate international law. Zelensky has been demanding the full $300 billion in confiscated Russian assets as no sum will ever be enough for his bottomless pockets.
The G7 did not pull off an act of goodwill; rather, they opened the door for a new form of dirty economic warfare. This certainly does not mean Ukraine will stop begging for military and economic aid. Their deficit is currently being ignored. Ukraine is now in debt to the West for the trillions in loan payments. The true numbers are never calculated, but rest assured, Ukraine will be on the hook to all of its NEW debtors when the time comes. “Remember when Ukraine was a country?” will sadly be a question in the future.

I have information from very solid sourcing that Saudi Arabia previously requested the return of Saudi Arabian refugee Taleb Al Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian psychiatrist who migrated to Germany in 2006.
Saudi Arabia warned Germany of Abdulmohsen’s extremist views. However, in 2016 Germany granted Abdulmohsen asylum and protection from deportation. [Similar to USA rejecting Russia warnings of Tamerlan Tsarnaev before Boston marathon bombing.]
Taleb Al Abdulmohsen drove his vehicle into a German Christmas market, targeting Christian families celebrating the holiday season. At least five people were killed, including a child, according to the premier of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, of the CDU. Some 200 other victims were injured in the attack.
From the perspective of the German government, this terrorist attack could not have come at a worse time. The German Parliament collapsed last week with a no confidence vote, which means an election in early February is required. The economy and immigration are the two biggest issues amid the German citizenry.
The terrorist attack by Saudi immigrant Abdulmohsen makes the rise of AfD, the nationalist party and the strongest opposition group on the issues of highest priority, more likely. The current German government are freaking out.
As a result of the political consequences, and in an absurd reaction therein, the German officials are claiming that Saudi immigrant Taleb al-Abdulmohsen was an “Islamophobic” follower of Islam, who was a supporter of the nationalist AfD (anti-Islam) party. None of that makes any sense.
When contrast against the strong likelihood that Saudi Arabia warned German of the unstable mindset of Abdulmohsen, and when you consider the outrage amid the German people, well, the current German government appears to be panicked and grasping for any straw that might deflect the already embattled ruling party from the consequences of their liberal immigration policy.
Things in Germany are totally ridiculous right now.
(Via Politico EU) – […] Chancellor Olaf Scholz, whose center-left party looks set to lose power in February, described the attack as a “terrible, insane act” and said “those who want to sow hatred” wouldn’t win.
But Scholz faces important questions over the next few days about what was known of the suspect, his identity was confirmed by prosecutors as Taleb Al Abdulmohsen. While prosecutors gave almost no details about the suspect, German media said Abdulmohsen is a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian psychiatrist who moved to Germany in 2006.
The Magdeburg chief prosecutor, Horst Walter Nopens, did indicate a Saudi connection.
“It looks like the background to the crime could have been … dissatisfaction with the treatment of Saudi Arabian refugees in Germany,” Nopens told a press conference on Saturday. “But what is deeper behind this is the subject of the investigation,” he said.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the authorities can “say with certainty that the perpetrator was obviously Islamophobic.”
The chief prosecutor said the suspect is in police custody and has made a statement about the motive for the crime, but he declined to give any details about that statement. The investigators “do not yet know whether it was a terrorist attack,” Nopens said.
[…] German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck described the attack as “terrible news” in a place “where people wanted to spend the Advent season in peace and community.” Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock expressed shock at the incident, and sent condolences to the victims and their families.

Think about the ridiculous logic pushed in the governing narrative:
The terrorist was “Islamophobic” but chose to target Christians at a Christmas Market, to protest the Islamization of Germany?
Good grief, even the FBI would be blushing at this level of twisted narrative engineering.
“German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on Saturday visited Magdeburg, where at least five people were killed and dozens were injured after a car plowed into a busy Christmas market, in what officials have called a deliberate attack.” Video Below:
