Soros Pushes US Bailouts and Weapons for Ukraine
If you look at the track record of the interventionists you might think they
would pause before taking on more projects. Each of their past projects has
ended in disaster yet still they press on. Last week the website Zero Hedge
posted a report about hacked emails between billionaire George Soros and Ukrainian
President Poroshenko.
Soros is very close to the Ukrainian president, who was put in power after a
US-backed coup deposed the elected leader of Ukraine last year. In the email
correspondence, Soros tells the Ukrainian leadership that the US should provide
Ukraine “with same level of sophistication in defense weapons to match
the level of opposing force.” In other words, despite the February ceasefire,
Soros is pushing behind the scenes to make sure Ukraine receives top-of-the-line
lethal weapons from the United States. Of course it will be up to us to pay
the bill because Ukraine is broke.
But Soros seems to have the money part covered as well. In an email to Ukrainian
leaders, he wrote that Ukraine’s “first priority must be to regain
control of financial markets.” Soros told Poroshenko that the IMF would
need to come through with a $15 billion package, which was confident would lead
the Fed to also come through with more money. He wrote: “the Federal Reserve
could be asked to extend a $15 billion three months swap arrangement with the
National Bank of Ukraine. That would reassure the markets and avoid a panic.”
