The World Economic Forum annual meeting opened in Davos, Switzerland on Monday morning, with as grim a message as the elite gathering has heard in many years. In the three-day summit’s opening address, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky, dressed in his trademark wartime olive-green T-shirt, and projected on monitors from Kyiv, told about 1,000 CEOs and government officials that Ukraine needs $5 billion a month, beginning immediately, in order to stave off full-blown economic collapse—a collapse that would have deep global ramifications. “The amount of work is enormous,” he said.(Snip)Yet rather than describing the dire situation as a crisis,

Zelensky has overplayed his hand. The poor Ukrainian routine has gotten old.

Question for Zelensky: Is Hunter still on the accounts payable ledger?
You have to hand it to the corrupt Ukrainian leadership for supporting the Biden family crime syndicate. It sure paid off for them.

Switched from subsidizing the defense of Ukraine to subsidizing crooked politicians.

Gettin' sick of this guy. All image. Wasn't he is show business? Dancing with the Stars or something. Is he still wearing the grey t-shirt? Like Zuckerbucks with his. (Questioned once if he even owned a suit.) We are not responsible for the war in Ukraine. Our great country is becoming more and more impoverished, and the powers-that-be-(with their self-interest motives) want us to become more so.
Ukraine has lost so much with this war, and there are too many people who want them to lose more. The people of Ukraine are so good, and there should be someone in the whole world who can save them by ending this war. Everyone knows that Ukraine has the resources to rebuild its own country so the people can start to begin to rebuild their own lives.

And the money laundering operation continues. Zelensky has the goods on all of them and is milking it to the max.

That didn’t take long. Russia invaded in February, here we are at the end of May and Zelensky is already cadging for money. No wonder our Congress critters went to Ukraine. They want to get part of the spoils. A pox on the whole bunch of them.

Before the $5B a month, why don't you get rid of the Nazi's first. Why did you allow them to make a stronghold there? Why did you allow those BioLabs to operate in your country? There is vast quantities of money laundering going on. Has that been completely stopped? And why did you put Hunter, Nancys son, Romneys son and Kerry's son on your payroll.
How much baby formula would $5B buy? Clean up your act and I would think about it. (and then say NO)

Tell me again about the “poor” Ukrainians. Tell me again that those of us who had this whole operation pegged from the start we’re merely carrying water for the Russians or were Putin fans. How anyone who lived through 2 years of government/media lies about Covid could have swallowed this Ukrainian victim narrative is beyond my comprehension.

Why did so many Republican Senators agree to the 40 billion for Ukraine's defense? Like all DC types they know when to jump on the gravy train. It was supposed to be for Ukraine's defense, but really it is a slush fund with kick backs to "The Coalition of the Willing". Now 5 billion a month with promises of great deals to come? A slush fund in perpetuity. Biden is for it, Romney is for it, and Pelosi is for it. Why? It will halt the investigation into their grifting sons - all have been involved in the grift with Ukraine for almost a decade. Transparency is needed badly here. Watch the cockroaches scatter when the light is switched on.

Putin's military buildup on the Ukraine border was overt and prolonged. Why didn't the WEF do something to dissuade him? Because conflict in their global control interest.
They are the < 0.000001% elite who endanger the planet.

Has anyone here or at Davos pitched an idea on how Ukraine can repay $50 billion to US taxpayers?

Well, at least he has cut prices.
A few weeks ago he was demanding 6 - SIX billion $ a month from American Taxpayers.. And not even offering us 'business opportunities'.
Or maybe he wants this five billion on top of the 6 billion from us.

"For a mere $5 billion a month, you can keep this comedian in a T-shirt from flying economy. Just look how much money the grifter sons of your pResident, Jon Carry, Pierre Delecto, and Botox Nan have hauled in from us, plus a respectable cut for their crooked parents. Wouldn't you like a cut of this action? Give 'til it hurts, comrades."
