Yea I get that, I don't think the request was just from us but could be wrong. What is a fair amount to ask? Or just nothing, leave em be?
 
It really doesn't matter anymore. I think the plan is just to eventually cancel all of the debt and reset everything. Of course this in no way will benefit any regular people...only the elites. But that's probably what's going to happen, after they take the current financial system as far as it can go. Just give them all the money they want.

The stupid thing is, you have so many people living in the streets and dumpster diving, living in the US. A few billion, that we can apparently give willy nilly to foreign countries to fight wars, could help our people out a lot. But that's a bridge too far for our government, I guess.

I'm not a proponent of any of this money printing, but we're going to do it anyway. And since that is the case, we ought to help our people first. But we won't, because the corrupt always got to get theirs.

Do enough to finish this, not a slow leak that drains our resources and forces us into more economic turmoil. We can't be an endless money tree for the world that's all I'm saying

Derailed Ukraine here but whatever. If all debts were canceled wouldn't that screw over the elites who would likely have people who owe them money? Maybe I'm missing your definition of elites.

Yes, what is that though? Specifically with Ukraine. I'd love it to just stop too. What is happening there is so unnecessary.

You can rest assured that however it's done, they will be just fine, as always.

This is all on Russia, they are the ones that started this, they can pay for the rebuild.

They won’t willingly pay but maybe the international community can seize and sell Russian assets to provide the money to Ukraine. I’m sure that is much harder than it sounds to actually execute.

Ukraine wants allies to seize Russian assets to aid reconstruction

Hundreds of billions of dollars in Russian assets are frozen by Western sanctions. Can they help rebuild Ukraine?

. Russia(Putin) could always claim rescuing(?) these Ukrainian people as a win if they are not able to hold territory. I would guess his back up plan. He has to have Russian wins to the public or else….
