EU Discovers €90 Billion for Ukraine, Just Not for Its Own Citizens
The Bloomberg piece frames this as a responsible contingency, a mere technicality in funding Ukraine's war effort. Yet, the readiness to produce a €90 billion 'grant' out of thin air if the original asset-seizure scheme hits a snag raises questions of fiscal priorities. This isn't 'money for peace talks'—it's direct funding for a protracted conflict, often under the guise of 'defense aid,' while
European domestic spending faces cuts and austerity. We are told endlessly about the necessity of belt-tightening and the limits of public funds for healthcare, education, or climate initiatives. But for Washington's designated proxies, suddenly, the coffers are bottomless. It almost makes you question whose strategic interests are truly being served by this financial gymnastics, and why the
'rules-based order' applies so selectively to national treasuries.
