@MyLordBebo People who flee the police are a danger to the public due to reckless driving while operating a deadly weapon. Police should have every right to stop that threat immediately.
@ZelenskyyUa You had a peace agreement on the table in 2022 already and that wasn't costly, but you chose to go on with that insanity. All that is left for you now is to shut up and pay the prize!
In 2014, Ukraine needed a loan.
Two offers were on the table:
๐ด The IMF dangled $15 billion,but with strings attached:
-Scrap the ban on private land ownership
-Slash pensions and fuel subsidies,classic austerity.
๐ด Russia also offered $15 billion,no strings, no neoliberal gutting of the economy.
President Yanukovych picked the Russian deal
So what happened?
Washington backed a coup, ousted him, and installed a new puppet regime.
The new government bent the knee to the IMF, signed off on austerity program and opened the door to privatization.
Now, massive chunks of Ukrainian land,about a third,are in the hands of foreign giants like BlackRock.
And just for the record, BlackRock is the former employer of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.....
@ricwe123 They occupied us with "thousand upon thousand of american troops" and still have the audacity to talk about friendship and shared values. ๐ค
@HristoHSSt61788@MyLordBebo Yes unfortunately it was very dirty (they make no. 1 & 2 everywhere and you can smell that), full of garbage and awfully crowded and loud, but I couldn't complain about the food, except for when they tried to go western style. That one pizza I tried was disgusting and overprized.
