Apparently, when Zelenskyy attended the meeting at the White House, He promised Donnie that he would buy 100 Billion dollars worth of weapons and $50 Billion worth of drone components...
Yet less than a year ago, he was demanding billions of dollars of ammunition and weapons from the United States because his country could not afford weapons to make war defend against the Russians.
This time, his attitude was less demanding. less of that of a superior trying to give orders to an inferior. More of someone who wanted to make a deal with a more powerful country.
But a question:
Where is this (supposedly) poor country getting all the billions of dollars for the current offer? Where was all that money a year or so ago? Were they lying about their finances then or are they lying about their ability to pay now?
We know they have a fair bit of money, and apparently every third new resident permit holder in Switzerland is a Ukrainian holder of a large Swiss Bank account….
Some of the people in Ukraine have somehow (corruption?) become very rich…..I mean, they even bought a US Vice President and (apparently) a Clinton Secretary of State…
But seriously, where is a country that was supposedly too broke to get their own weapons less than a year ago and demanding money from the US now getting $150 Billion to spend? ?
They have a ton of natural resources.
They had those same resources a year ago also,
Where did the money come from this time if they couldn’t use it last time.
A hundred Billion is a lot o scratch.
From what I understand, the EU is going to somehow pony up that cash as part of ummm……… the peace guarantees to make them almost NATO— or sompin.
