In finance, a bond is a type of security under which the issuer owes the holder a debt, and is obliged – depending on the terms – to provide cash flow to the creditor. [Georgi Gotev]
Euractiv/Reuters: Reparation bonds could unlock $300 billion for Ukraine
As the US and the EU are struggling to keep writing cheques to Ukraine, a fallback plan is making its way: Kyiv could raise money by selling bonds backed by future claims for war damages against Moscow.
It would be better if Ukraine’s backers just gave it more cash, as the United Kingdom did last week. But elsewhere fatigue is setting in. US President Joe Biden has so far failed to persuade Congress to approve a new $61 billion package for Kyiv. Meanwhile, Hungary blocked the EU’s planned €50 billion in aid last month, although other member states are determined to find a way round the problem.
Efforts to seize Russia’s frozen assets are also making slow progress. Not only are lawyers arguing whether confiscation would be legal. Politicians wonder whether it would be wise, though they are actively exploring doing so, according to the Financial Times.

WNU Editor: I have heard of a lot of crazy financial deals and proposals in my life, but this one is by far one of the craziest.
The U.S. and Ukrainian proposal basically says it is permissible to use as collateral another country's assets (without their permission) to fund your own bonds and securities. But it gets even more crazier than that. Since no private lender is going to buy such "reparations bonds" whose assets have been stolen from another party, the solution is to then force Western central banks to buy them.
Here is an easy prediction. If implemented this will put the final nail in the coffin in the US dollar being used as the world's reserve currency.
One could say the same about the Russian seizures of Western businesses in Russia as well as the fact Russia has done and still does exactly this.
ReplyDeleteExactly
DeleteYou really got to hand it to the blob / TPTB/ elites. The creativity of using a concept such as a "rules based order", which translates into "make rules as you want them" is sheer genius.
ReplyDeleteBottom line, it shows how dangerous these elites are. They do anything they want and readily justify it.
Nothing is sacred to these people. Not private or personal property,, not past agreements or the fundamentals such as respect for the law. Not freedom, individual rights or the sanctity of life.
Once again, if they can do this to a Major power, in te future, what are they capable of doing to you and I?
What have the Russians seized? They did not have to. The industries that were left behind due to western sanctions were abandoned by the companies that owned them, or like McDonald's, sold for pennies on the dollar.
ReplyDeleteFor the west. Sanctions = take out gun, shoot self in foot
fuck russia. they are the enemy of the west and an ally of China, N. Korea, and Iran.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to see Russia agree to any long term peace plan with the West, unless the assets are returned
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to the West's relations with Russia, 2024 has begun with great uncertainty . Last December, the European Union adopted its 12th sanctions package,[1] and the U.S. imposed several new ones
ReplyDeleteThe Side Effects Of The Sanctions On Russia
The large Russian corporations are the oligarchs and the oligarchs are the large Russian corporation.
ReplyDeleteThe oligarchs are behind Putin.
Russia has been playing rough for a long time.
The Guardian: BP in Russia: a timeline
FUCK RUSSIA
Right at the 2008/2009 mark you know things are going south. Putin has just wrapped up grinding Chechnya under his boot and he was looking for new conquests.
ReplyDeleteChechnyan War
Major combat phase: 7 August 1999 – 30 April 2000
Insurgency phase: 1 May 2000 – 16 April 2009
You are all barking up the wrong tree, if you go with the "F Russia" approach.
ReplyDeleteAll you and the US are doing are screwing yourself. The editor and others on this blog are right ...All the West is doing is destroying the confidence in the current international financial system.
2008 was the beginning of the western financial crisis. It was also the beginning of west screwing over the Russians. Putting missiles in Romania, color revolutions in eastern Europe and adding more nations to NATO.
starting 2010 It got alot worse under obama, but he and bush were buddy buddy so why should we be surprised.
NAZI rulers live worldwide u fools same mind same heart same soul 666
ReplyDeleteu fools
ReplyDeleteThe missiles in Romania were to protect against Iran. If Russia did not want the missiles there. Putin could have called up his bae, Khameini and had him tone it down.
ReplyDeleteA ballistic missile shield against nukes by a rogue nation like Iran is not a reason for Putin to piss down his leg.
Poland was always going to join NATO. Period.
Russia FUCKING OVER Poland
- 1st partition (1772)
- 2nd partition
- 3rd Partition
- Occupying Poland from the 3rd partition until WW1.
- Invasion of Poland in 1918/1920
- Partition of Poland with the NAZIs
- Katyn Massacre
- Russian backstabbing during the Battle for Warsaw.
- Russian occupation from 1945 to 1989
307 years of Fucking Poland over
Yes, the motherfracker Lenin ordered an invasion Poland back in November 1918.
1839 would provide more value to his section chief as a fluffer than as a troll.
You are an idiot.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead and keep supporting Uncle Joe and the neocons. The only one to suffer will be you and the average American.
If the economy goes belly up because the world looses faith in the dollar do you think anyone in the capital district will suffer?
No, but you go ahead and be a loyal puppet to an elite that does not care about you.
At least a lot of the kids realize what is going on. That is why your military volunteer numbers suck.
Why go and die for an endless cycle of wars and those who hate me.
You are a fool. Or as the commies use to say>... A useful idiot.
Remember Alexander Rybin
ReplyDeleteAlexander Rybin was a journalist that worked for pro-Russian media outlets and previously fought for pro-Russian forces in Luhansk.
He started covering corruption in building contracts, so the oligarchs murdered him.
Alexander Rybin is more Russian and more honorable than the 7:53 who professes to love Russia.
What a POS 1953 is
Corrupt Joe must be voted out of office.
ReplyDeleteWhere was his son, Hunter Biden, when the Russian invaded Crimea? Hunter was in Moscow.
Hunter got a nice paycheck from the ex-wife of the Mayor of Moscow.
853 you really do not understand?
ReplyDelete1953
Has a lot more common sense than you do
Says one russian about another
ReplyDeleteSkods.
ReplyDeleteNice posts . But you forgot to call those guys vatniks and trolls.
You are starting to lose it buddy.
Hey did you get that GS raise this year?
Ukraine will be defeated.
The US doing this will backfire.
ReplyDeleteJust like the sanctions against Russia backfired.
The American leadership is a non thinking entity.
I like the person above that said
ReplyDeletePoland was always going to join NATO.
Really, They were going to join in 1958?
How about 1983
Or maybe 2001?
That is the most ridiculous line of reasoning.
As for Poland's geopolitical problems, that is it's sad fate of being a geographical pass through nation.
which side are you on?
ReplyDeleteRussia: China, North Korea, Iran
US: NATO, Japan, Israel.
Bashkortostan
ReplyDeleteKeyboard vatniks or Turks
My money is on the Turks
The side of the truth. No matter how ugly or whether or not I or anyone else likes it.
ReplyDeleteWithout truth how can you distinguish between right or wrong?
How can you tell good from evil?
Are you willing to sell your soul, to lie?
Does might make right?
Is winning really the only thing?
Does power only come from the barrel of a gun.
Is the constitution just a piece of paper?
If there is no God in heaven?
Is man truly the measure of all things?
Do we see thru the glass only darkly?
Is there more to this world than just can be seen?
If there is no God, what is right and what is wrong?
Some things are sacred and not to be trifled with. The truth is one of them.
"As for Poland's geopolitical problems, that is it's sad fate of being a geographical pass through nation."
ReplyDeleteI like that vatnik. Please due not scrub your comment, because I am going to pass it around.
First to the Poles.
If Poles get integrated into a new Soviet bloc, then Germany becomes the new pass through nations. so I will distribute it there too.
So on and so far
Got a screen print.
BTW. How many A-50s are FMC? Last count was 3. Then 1 was shot down
Why did an A-50 need a Il-22M? Now there is a story.
What is so funny is the A-50 and II-22M were taken out by S-300s.
ReplyDeleteConsider it.
The Orks use 300s as Hitler wonder weapons in ballistic mode to hit civilians by destroying apartment blocks.
The Ukrainians use theirs in a sophisticated way and network it with any and all tech extending its useful life as a SAMs.
This SMO is not so much about land as brains. The Orks are barely sentient enough to know they need an infusion of brains.

you are dreaming again.
ReplyDeleteYou have been asked the question many times in the last 2 years. Due to your embarrassment or cowardice, or maybe a combination of both, each time it was offered to you , you failed to answer, so once again.........
So answer the question Einstein,
If the Russians are so incompetent and inept, why do they beat the glorious Ukrainians and continue to defeat the Ukrainians?
Does that mean the Ukrainians are even more incompetent and inept than you make out the Russians to be?
Where in the world is Lt General Oleg Vladimirovich Pchela?
ReplyDeleteIs he with Carmen?
Does Pchela's wife know?
We need to purge the west of these ukiebots if we're ever going to get things back on track.
ReplyDeleteYou should stop stinking up the internet and join a Russian military academy. Promotion is fast.
ReplyDeleteSkods.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot faster in the ukies army.
You could have been a general by now,
You have no proof psycho
ReplyDeleteI do
Lt General Pchela
why are you so slow on your replies? Still jacking off to the nude pics the Kremlin is circulating of Mrs Teplinski?
You are wrong skoddy ole buddy.
ReplyDeleteThe grave yards are overflowing and promotions in ukies land are like grains of sand on the beach.
Go now and you could be a Company commander in a month.
So Skods (7:05) is still jacking off
