G7’s Plan to Make PUTIN Fund Ukraine’s War Effort!
the G7 has come up with a plan to force Putin to fund the war against himself granting Ukraine potentially $50 billion in additional funding I’m Paul US Army Combat veteran let’s talk about what’s going on here okay so this is a really interesting story and a classic example of very wealthy uh countries uh using their weird wealth generation schemes for good instead of to enrich their own pocketbooks right the G7 has agreed to loan $50 billion from to Ukraine from froz Frozen Russian Assets Now to understand what exactly seems to have gone on you’ve got to understand first off that Russian oligarchs and businesses don’t like to keep their money in Russia for two main reasons the first is that the Russian Ruble is a pretty unstable currency meaning that these business’s ability to buy and sell Goods over a period of of years or months can be wildly impacted by fluctuations in the ruble right imagine if you’re trying to order uh import iPhones and in January uh a million dollars gets you uh a th iPhones but by March a million dollar gets you 750 you’d basically be unable to meaningfully plan your business going forward so a lot of these countries like to keep their cash overseas the second reason is because in autocracies no one and nothing is more powerful than the leader but in democracies individuals and individual entities have rights and due process meaning that in somewhere like um Russia or Saudi Arabia uh if you’re wealthy your assets can be seized by the government for any reason at any time right no one is more powerful than the man in charge but in pluralist uh uh uh representative countries uh in individuals have rights in due process meaning that your assets held overseas in those countries aren’t going to be seized willy-nilly there’s going to be at least a a court process you’re going to have a chance to defend yourself there’s going to be some kind of Arbiter and the law is going to supered the desires and whims of that country most of the time so those two reasons make it really really lucrative for Russian oligarchs and businesses to keep their assets in Western banking institutions as a result though well when Putin started his War they ran into a problem namely that these countries froze Russian Assets Now notice the word freeze is important in this story right because freezing assets doesn’t mean the Western Government seized them right instead it means they simply said listen Russia we’re not going to take them but you can’t access them either because we know you’re going to use them to fund a war so these these assets have been sitting for two years over two and a half years in various accounts these assets include cash money but also Securities like stocks gold and bonds now you guys if you pay attention to finances you know that in the last 2 and a half years the Returns on interest of money held in a bank account uh many Securities um gold and even Bond payments have all gone way up that means that these assets over 300 billion in total are generating actually a lot of return um now this says that they’re generating about 1% per year um but in a lot of cases they are probably generating quite a bit more so the G7 had a debate and they said listen there’s two ways we can do this we can one side said listen take this $3 billion a year and give it to Ukraine and we actually can infer how much money Ukraine needs to run its War because as you might recall when we uh the United States was struggling to pass the aid agreement $60 billion of Aid Lloyd Austin said it expects that Aid package to allow Ukraine to continue to fight for about 18 months which means that we can infer a $3 billion a month burn rate for Ukraine to sustain the war effort that’s interesting because 3 billion right this 3 billion a year would basically repres % about would cover the expenses of the war for about one month out of the year that’s pretty good but after the war ends this money is going to have to well it’s going to continue to go to Ukraine and that’s one of the problems the US said they said listen this $3 billion a year it’s going to be paid for 10 years 20 years right this these money isn’t going anywhere just like money in your bank account it’ll acrew interest if you keep it in there for decades but the Ukraine war isn’t going last decades and Ukraine doesn’t need $3 billion in 2034 it needs money now to fight the war today so the US said how about we do this why don’t we loan the Ukraine the money but the collateral and the payback is going to be with frozen Russian assets right so what you know how big a mortgage could you get if you could pay $3 billion a year in payments quite a bit right so so the answer is of course that you can get about 50 Billy uh loan to you if you can make $3 billion a year in payments which again at 1% is on the low end of these Russian assets held overseas and so that’s what the G7 have done they’ve said listen we are going to write or we’re going to have our either central banks or major financial institutions write a $50 $50 billion loan can that cash to Ukraine and the payment terms will be made by Putin’s own assets right and 50 billion is a lot of money guys it’ll either sustain the current war effort for uh about another 15 months right uh see if we can get this right yeah for about another 15 months or it’ll allow Ukraine to double its effort not just fighting this defensive fight but actually potentially pushing back against Russian forces so this is a tremendous tremendous asset to Ukraine now if you’re looking for your own tremendous advantage over whatever you’re dealing with you don’t need to seize your enemy’s bank accounts and push them uh you just need some strike gum right strike gum’s got 90 milligrams of caffeine in every piece zero sugar uh it’s better than an energy drink in every single way right you can fit uh you know this is the equivalent of five energy drinks this little pack here right so

Amazon but we can’t do the free shipping there so be sure to check it out and thanks to everyone that’s left us reviews on uh on Amazon that makes a huge difference so the one other thing I want to point out is that the G7 is a really interesting group first off Russia used to be a member until it annexed Crimea and they said listen we can’t have the G7 annexing uh countries so out you go right and then of course the G7 has a population about 10% of the world population but controls about 50% of global wealth so that is kind of the The Leverage that this group has and so when they want to do something uh they have the power to do it anyway guys that’s all I had thank you so much huge thank you to our Colonel tier members thank you to our Lieutenant tier members could not do this do this without you guys uh really thanks so much and I’ll see you guys in the next one cheers

Russia will COLLAPSE as Time is Not on PUTINs Side RUSSIAN GDP GROWING …. SMOKE & MIRRORS Russian GDP is Up as Putin is Spending the Money on Military Equipment which is Turned into Scrap Metal in Ukraine …There is No Profit or Return on this Money and Eventually Putin will Run Out of Cash Reserves . Only UNEDUCATED Russians think that this is Good for the Russian Economy REALITY . Russian ROUBLE has Collapsed and the Cost of Imports is Up Military Sales have Collapsed , Russia Failed to Sign a Single Contract in DUBAI in November 2023 GAZPROM announced that Production has Fallen to 1970 s / USSR Levels Interest Rate at 16 Percent and Inflation Skyrocketing along with Fuel Restrictions Russian Oil Exports Down as a result of OPEC Cuts and a Price Cap of $60. and India No Longer recieving Russian Oil Recent Ukrainian Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries have Affected 19 Percent of Russian Income and most likely will Not get Western Parts to restore Refineries " Everything According to Plan " The Entire World is Laughing at Putin as Russia Collapses ….Again
Nato is panic
This piece of an old Soviet-era relic animates itself as the Tsar, and never ending.
I don’t know if you are still doing gaming reaction videos, but Rubixraptor posted a video called “The Soviet tank nightmare” which is hilarious. And since you’ve been covering Russia a lot recently to, it might work in? Idk
Now I call that a good result 👌 🇬🇧
G7 is trying to divide up Russia’s money amongst themselves. They want Ukraine to use it for weapons from these G7 countries. If anything, Ukraine should use it to rebuild but this is illegal in my view.
I cant breathe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So they say Russia only makes 1% interest? Come on. With $300 billion in special accounts they will be making at least 8% which is 24 billion. That is the least amount the G7 should be taking. It makes it more painful for Russians and really embarrassing for this idiot Putin
Paul I’m guessing you didn’t read it Ukraine is funding its own war effort this is a loan from G7 from asserts
After pootin is gone, stop buying any thing in russia if the leader is an autocrate. This is the second time in my life, where russia has gone bankrupt due to bad leadership.
A Hundred rubbles is bout one dollar.
The West robbed Putin without a weapon or a mask, very nice indeed .
Donald Trump has promised to put an end to "endless" payments to Ukraine if he wins the US presidential election 2024 in November.
"Whenever he [Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky] comes to our country, he leaves it with $60 billion… And then he returns to his homeland and declares that he needs another $ 60 billion. And so on without end," the former US president said at a meeting with supporters in Detroit.
Bro I don't agree with what u say about Russia and Saudi is not just them what about when the west rob people and call it recession 😅😂 all government corrupt infact I don't know of Russia dropping nuclear bomb on another country only u.s have that tittle so I still can't see how Russia is more evil than them😅😅 someone is hiding something 🙄
As you might have noticed Paul has moved his Headquarters to the New Strike Gum Towers.
Paul, you not pay the power bill? Need a loan? 😉
Europe and the US are not at war with Russia, so the confiscation of Russian assets is a violation of international law. The West needs to declare war on Russia. Otherwise this is technically a default. We still believe in the rule of law, right?
the thing is – 300B of frozen russian sovereign assets in Europe is laughable amount to Russia, compared to the value of natural resources Russia took in Ukraine. They worth 12 TRLN.
Great content as always Paul , thanks for your hard work!
