**STOP CALLING FOR IT AND JUST DO IT!!!** Words mean nothing. You can’t build a bridge words. No hospital was built with empty promises.
DO IT.
Stop talking about reconstruction and start helping them win. Reconstruction is a peace problem. Get them there and then talk about it.
Spend 100b of that on some serious weaponry so that the destruction that is Russia can first be stopped.
Do it already!
To finance the defence right now would be better.
First we need to win war.
Surely winning back all their territory in the first place should be the focus? How about $350bn in weapons for Ukraine?
I’m in a bind financially atm with a lot of important outgoings but when I can donate to Ukraine, I donate to the army. Nothing else will matter if Russia wins.
Have been commenting on and pushing this for years. Schweitzer banks froze only $10B or so but are keeping much larger amounts sequestered. Altho cyprus and other banking sites are not impairing Russki lines of credit and are still paying interest……
Those “other bank” sites very much and likewise need to be restrained…..
