US Taxpayers To Fund Ukraine Bailout With Bond Guarantee
Last week we reported that as part of the latest "check kiting" bailout scheme, Greek pensioners (and now utility companies) are being raided by the Greek government so that it can repay its debts to the IMF, which in turn would go ahead and fund a part of the recently approved $17.5 billion bailout of Ukraine, which then would have the money to pay its debts to Russia... and the IMF. And, as we also noted, "The only question is how long will it take the current puppet government to syphon off enough funds into various illegal ventures and offshore accounts before the IMF has to step back in a la Greece with bailout #2."
Turns out the answer is about a week, because as Reuters reported earlier today, CCC-rated Ukraine is preparing to issue more debt, debt with a Aa+/AAA rating because it will come with the explicit guarantee of the United States of America.
From Reuters:
The Republic of Ukraine has sent out a request for proposals (RFP) to banks for a new US government-guaranteed bond, according to three sources.
This is the second time the US government has thrown its financial backing behind a Ukrainian international bond issue.
In May 2014, the US guaranteed a US$1bn Ukrainian bond maturing in 2019 through the US Agency for International development.
That bond was given a credit rating in line with the US sovereign at Aaa by Moody's, AA+ by Standard & Poor's and AAA by Fitch. This is a far cry from Ukraine's credit rating, which stands at Caa3, CCC and CC with the same three agencies.
The RFP comes just over a week after Ukraine agreed a new four-year US$17.5bn bailout facility with the International Monetary Fund.
As part of the IMF agreement several institutions - including the European Union, World Bank and US - have agreed to provide around US$7.5bn between them, according to analyst estimates, to the war torn country.
It is not clear whether the US-backed bond forms part of the US contribution.
One other place that also issued bonds with a US guarantee was Egypt. And everyone knows just how the US-inspired coup to put the Muslim Brotherhood in power turned out.
In other words, after raiding Greek pensions with the IMF's blessing, the Kiev puppet government is now going after the "full faith and credit" of the US... backed by its taxpayers.
In yet other words, the latest Ukraine "bailout" is courtesy of you, dear US taxpaying reader.

Oh gee, like we didn't see THIS coming at all, no sir. End this sham already, please, just get the war started so the survivors can have a chance at a real life again.
nothing new, USA pay for Nazi
NFBD
The ponzification of the dollar and global credit will continue until the moment it does not.
Until then, party like it’s 2007.
Great! Hunter is getting a bonus. Hip, hip, fuck it.
Fine by me, as long as they send over a few thousand hot blondes as collateral. It would certainly be a better deal than I am getting lending to the US government.
obama writes the checks, no balances.
Instead of CCC-rated Ukraine it will soon be CCCP-rated Ukraine. At least the Crimea.
No big deal, the USSA is merely guaranteeing the issuance of bonds to repay interest due on previous bonds and bail out insiders like Biden's baby cokehead puke. Also, the USSA has to keep the local criminal oligarchs happy, lest they switch sides and cut a deal with Putin.
The average Ukie will continue to get fucked, good and hard, until they remove the USSA leaches/oligarchs from their body politic.
Their goal is to subjugate Russia to protect the US dollar and maintain world dominance. Propping up their puppets in Ukraine is part of the process. The last thing the US wants is the Minsk2 agreement to work. Better to get the war going again, get Russia to intervene and then save the world by attacking Russia. It's sick but the US is getting just too predictable.
It's only natural. You know the rule: you break it, you own it ! Well, US fubared Ukraine so... Now, if the Ukraineans are dumb enough to fight and die for the interests of US combined with those of the local oligarchs, it's their problem. They won't win shit; they'll only end up dead instead, and in numbers. However, I haven't seen such an overwhelming enthusiasm from their part during the last recruiting episode. So, if the masters decide to throw a war, and nobody wants to fight it, then what ?!
The day before the revolution in the Ukraine:
http://www.voltairenet.org/article186687.html
Now fund the war.
Backed by the government means backed by the military, as force and destruction is the only influence US has left.
"then save the world by attacking Russia"
And that's when the weather report will be a sunny 200 million degree day in all American and Russian cities. The fallout from 20,000 nuclear warheads will make life difficult for all but cockroaches and aliens.
Better buy some good sunscreen!!
You are too negative Mike Masr. I'll bet the termperature will never go above 10,000 degrees, and we will have plenty of protein from eating cockroaches.
The average Ukie is too dumb to understand that credit enhancement costs money for the borrower, it is never free. So what is the Ukrainian government (borrower) "paying" to Uncle Sam for the credit enhancement?
If they actually understood the answer to that question, Porky Pig would be rotating on a spit, instead of spitting on the masses.
Damn!
It's come to this, and OVERTLY, and still the nerve to blame Russia?
They don't have a choice, they need to blame someone. It's a core of USA policy - they can't blame USA.
It's pretty funny how we don't give money to Detroit, a city right here in our own country that could easily be mistaken for someplace in eastern Ukraine that's been shelled into ruin.
Where's Kanye to tell us how Obama hates black people?
Adds new meaning to American Beauty and the Nazi neighbor.
nothing new , USA pay for ashkeNAZI, FIFY
Ukraine just got a world reserve currency. they can print whatever they need, just like U, S and A
Just warms my American heart to see our Manchurian Candidate president handing money out to NAZIS.
I haven't felt this good about the USA since we were napalming villages in Vietnam.
You started this war. You can fucking well pay for it.
YAY TEAM!!!
Who in the U S government has the authority to do this?
Exactly.
The United States Congress? Oh wait, they've been executive-ordered and administrative-lawed into irrelevance.
The Congress is owned by the dual citizen lobby....lock, stock, & barrel. Neo-cons are firmly in control of both parties.
the congress gave their balls and integrity away to the fed in 1915.
and 100 years on we are utterly bankrupt on every level.
U.S.S.A. humanitarian exceptionalism hard at work! Cue the rape & pillage music!
I'm working for the Khazars.
Fun Facts, See my post below!
So... tired... of... it.
"Yesterday, Igor Kolomoisky, appointed by Kiev junta governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region, the billionaire, an Israeli citizen and owner of a large number of fascist battalions, captured head office of state enterprise "Ukrtransnafta". This strategic state company controls all oil pipelines in the territory of Ukraine. Capture was carried out by using 40 militants armed with batons and rifles, along with the invaders to the office came Gennady Korban, business partner of Igor Kolomoisky, Gennady Korban many years carries out military takeovers in Ukraine for business empire of Igor Kolomoiskiy"
American taxpayers now will be forced to fund this sort of thing. Read the above! These facts never make it to CNN. I wonder WHY?
Excellent points Jack, just more proof that the CNN is the first among media whores for the State Department. The Good News is that the USSA pressitudes continue to lose the information war, hence their endless screaming to block RT and suck up for more funding.
Give it another year, and most thinking Europeans will be sick of the Ukie puppets and their USSA Gepetos .The USSA is a slowly sinking ship, with the rats starting to abandon in in favor of China and Asia. Russia is perfectly positioned to grow with China, thus the reason why the USSA needs the Ukies as shock troops to take out Putin and conquer. The Empire of Chaos will fail but, alas, will cause a great deal of trouble in the meantime.
"Give it another year, and most thinking Europeans will be sick of the Ukie puppets and their USSA Gepetos ."
few days of shooting on maidan were enough to understand...
But, but, but ... Russian saboteurs(*) were going to take over the building and he prevented that!
When asked what the occupiers were going to do, reporters were told they were going to be burning financial documents. Hmmm, interesting.

* - these would be the special invisible Russians forming part of the invisible Russian forces that have invaded Ukraine about 20 times.
The Russians do not need to invade the shitty Ukraine. The Ukies are doing a great job of destroying themselves.
Kolomoisky meets Nudelman June 2014 in a meeting at Odessa to discuss how to protect US interests in Ukraine.

Are west regions Ukraines still jumping?
Russians have this saying:
"hop before jump"
.
To imagine more funny than news from Lvov is not possible. Deputy in Verkhovna Rada now is demands more rights, special priveleges to western regions Ukraine.

So jump they do in demonstrations around this obscene monument of Stepan Bandera:

Even while playing this their jumping anthem:

Banderatards mental derangement syndrome.
Small problem, the 'Russian Saboteurs' were actually a team appointed by the President Poroschenko.
Pure co-incidence that Poro happens to be a competing oligarch.
This is the start of the oligarch wars in Ukraine, they all have their own militias so it will get messy.
Nice! It's a damn shame what is going on over there. Likely a look into the future of all Nations
Jack, You're not talking about this:

Good find, thanks for your posts here!
This guy looks tired of working for a a**hole with 3 passports.
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2014/11/confessions-of-ukrainian-commander-of.html
at least buy me a drink first
whatever ... just throw it on top of the other $100 Trillion in USSA debt that will never be paid off.
Serfdom, it's a cast iron guarantee.
Yet you still have the ultimate 'get out' card - stop reproducing!
Yeah, pay you stupid American taxpayer. Russky is laughing his ass off.
Russia 13% flat tax
Russia's Flat Tax Miracle The Heritage Foundation:
http://www.heritage.org/research/commentary/2003/03/russias-flat-tax-miracle
Maybe Russia should charge 500% interest and start asking for gold as payment, Let's see the US sqirm when it has to pay real money instead of fiat.
Give them some fracked oil instead. One commodity is the same as another.
The prelude to nuclear engagement!
And why shouldn't I be forced to pay for something I want nothing to do with, the overthrow and subsequent flushing of Ukraine, when I root for Putin to kick the JewSA's ass every day?
Step 1 for war...fund it.
In other news...Gazprom pulls a profit after Ukraine suddenly pays up with IMF and US funds.
Yep, Gazprom bonds and shares are up again, thank you USSA :-)

Yes you do! the power to vote into your diebold machine. But you'll have to wait two years more. Good luck with that one
When both the Neocon Republicans and the 'Responsibility to protect' Democrats (fascists who watch Oprah) are on the same side, no one will stop this unless the rest of the world, and the Europeans in particular, tell the USSA to get lost and focus on fixing domestic problems.
who has the power of definition.
You terrrist!!
Go write 100 times: I SHALL NEVER QUESTION THE AUTHORITY OF THE US GOVERNMENT AGAIN
Poroshenko has been given the task of herding cats and no amount of money will suffice to plug the holes in his head. The fact that the USA thinks this will buy them anything even time just shows how critically deficient they are at knowing anything or doing anything with the slightest degree of effectiveness. They're going to fuck this chicken until they've got nothing left but blood and feathers.
"The fact that the USA thinks this will buy them anything even time just shows how critically deficient they are at knowing anything or doing anything with the slightest degree of effectiveness."
I don't think they are critically deficient at anything except moral behavior. TPTB know exactly what they are doing, namely manufacturing global consent for a takedown and subjegation of the ghost that remains of this republic.
I don't unerstand this. Can this be reaphrased in terms of what it's worse than since Lehman?
Mind your tongue. NoDebt is on a trademark prowl.

Ever get the feeling there is a secret agenda and the citizens of the (former) U.S. aint a part of it?
Mic's r us
Looks like the newly installed corrupt AMERICAN Natalie Jaresko as Ukraine's Finance Minister who ran a U.S. taxpayer-financed investment funds for Ukraine that was drained of money as she engaged in lucrative insider deals & fought to keep secret has been busy little girl! And drug addict Hunter Biden takes over all Ukrainian energy interests! Poor & ignorant Ukraine will never know what has hit 'em!
link about that?
as far as I know he was gifted board member position
of corp controlled by Kolomoisky, worst of visible Oligarchs
Let's sell the debt to the ECB.... they'll buy anything
Probably to buy US weaponry.
Bingo . Give that man a cupie doll! A couple hundred thousand deaths to follow! 'Spreading Amerikan Exceptionalism around the globe!'
When you know that 300+ million lights are on... windows and doors are open... in every home in that greatest of lands called America...
But no one is home!
Stop bothering me with things that we know we can't fix! After all that is why we vote and send cretans like "Secret Chimp" in the Oval Office and his side kick the Winter Soldier "Long Face" Kerry to Washington so that they can drain our wallets!
I've got college basketball to watch!!!
After all It's "March Madness" we're talking about!!!!
George Soros must have done lots of "hard work" behind the scene. Here is your 52nd state like it or not.
17.5 billion to protect a failed 5 billion previous investment. What's that old saying about throwing good money after bad.
The lovely tribal zionist neocon & Asst of State Victoria Jane (FU-EU) 'Toria' Nuland (nee: Nudleman) Kagan will be wringing out her panties on this news!
I kinda wish they would invade the Crimea and get it over. It would be fun to watch the neocons converted to atomic ash, and finally be rid of them forever.
They sure wouldn't be missed!
I didn't ok that! Fuck the IMF! What the fuck do they do again? Useless IMF eaters need to walk in to the soilent green machine to save the earth along with all governments. That piece of shit just gave some other scumbag part of New Jersey when forced to renig on acount of his distruction of this fucked up country. The chippers waiting hungrily for these losers.
This has been the worst news out of that region since Lehman!
In November 2013, Putin gave Yanukovich a Russian guarantee for a $3 Billion-dollar bond issue. Back then, Ukraine's government was a client of the Russian government.
Now Ukraine is a client of America. Whereas Russia had to back up its guarantee with real money, America will just buy up all the bonds through the Federal Reserve. The cost to US taxpayers is only theoretical. It is so small, relative to the trillions that have been absorbed this way, that I don't think this news is worth more than a blink of an eye.
Now if only former students, confronting the grim reality that they cannot ever pay off their student loans - or that it would take 25 or more years to do so, could get the privilege of discharging those debts through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a burden that takes only 7 years to work through. These Ukrainian bonds will have matured before then.
Another dumb country gives their country away to evil psychopathic zionist interests for less than nothing. Too sad for words!
Russia says Thank You.
Ah, no! Simply a prelude of intensified USSA instigated aggression between Russia & Ukraine with ultimate nuclear implications. Insane unaccountable neocon global ambition that will destroy millions of lives. Thats all.
Russia says Thank You as it's from a broke ass country. Best of all, it's guaranteed. Sarc
may I fix:
NWO says thx.

Most powerless people on earth: Palestinians
Most powerless people on earth: U.S. Taxpayer
The above post is a POLL. My choice is that the US Taxpayer is the least powerful group in the choices given. Here is my reasoning.
At least the Palestinians will throw rocks at their oppressors
The taxpayers of the USA have their collective head up Kim Kardashian's ass or dream, vicariously, that they were DWTS...(Dancing with the Stars is programming for Dimwits....the acronym has its intended meaning after all.)
The most powerless people are those who refuse to take the responsibility and act in their own best interests...
Hell every Cell Phone is a potential bomb. Obama gives them away to the poor on your dime. Now that is much better than any rock. There are no excuses.
Fuck You Obama! Since when do we do business with illegitimate governments? Oh yeah, the one's We put in power! Right. You're such a phoney Fuck it's pathetic....
Nope! The Kenyan is working on his short game while the sociopathic neocons rule imperialist Amerikan foreign policy. He is their most useful idiot ever! The tribe wud get him elected again if it was possible!
Fucking great. I am an American of Kuban Cossack ancestry. My tax dollars going to fucking Kiev to pay for a bunch of neo nazi banderist thugs and their illegal junta govt. Thanks Barry, the worst president in US history.
Pretty much. But you left out the W.W. III outcome!

Sorry Detroit.
Typical. No money for Greek debt relief. Plenty of money for the Ukrainian war.
Looks good on yah EXCEPTIONAL Americans and their moronic Government....Pouring more money down a black hole to allow a bunch of psychopathic oligarch rape, pilliage, and murder their own countryman courtesy of the US tax player......
Meanwhile the rest of the world will be screaming for the existing to isolate the US from all economic trade and civil discourse....good work...Only question is who is more evil US neocons or Ukrainian Nazis thugs?????? Or maybe they are just both the same.....

who is more evil, US neocons or Ukrainian Nazi thugs??????
US neocons, by a factor of infinity (the US neocons are global NAZIS)
it's their show, the Ukrainian Nazi thugs just follow their orders
So now our tax dollars go to both the so-called moderate rebels in Syria that send the funds to their pals in ISIS so they can behead more Christians and Jews, as well as sending tax dollars directly into the Kiev Nazi war machine bond fund. So these nazi assholes can buy more white phosporus and cluster bombs to kill and maim even more women, children and elderly in Donbas.
IT's a good thing the world is going to drop the US petro dollar anyway. This won't amont to anything.
First the US took their gold now they taking their bonds interests. Agriculture already being taken by big agro and biotech business. It is pillaging really.
I am furious about this! I would write a strongly worded e-mail to my elected representatives but it won't matter at all!! I've written them and I don't ever hear back....
I despise this place....

Bail-Outs are Corruption -

All bailouts benefit the corporations that were bad Capitalists.
Kapitalismus Totet oder Toten.
Capitalism where Corporations and Banks are Protected is probably an old Europe thing that just came to the USA in 2009. But it is not Capitalism.
It is Fascism, Inverted Totalitarianism, or Corporate Socialism.
Bailouts are for the Elites. Start a business you are a target of the Banks and Wall Street. You don't get a Bailout.

You know, it's been kind of quiet on the ZH Ostfront for some time. Then suddenly, BANG, a whole slew of Russian articles show up-- including one written by Pravda.
As a good intelligence operative here at the NSA (did I mention we get free Mountain Dew on all shifts now?), I naturally assumed this indicated some sort of pre-emptive propaganda campaign designed to drown out soon-to-be-announced news unfavorable to Grandmother Putin.
So, as I'm wandering around the internet today, what do I find lurking around in the links? I find this...
http://www.janes.com/article/50075/dutch-investigation-concludes-mh17-downed-by-buk-missile-from-russian-battery
Of course, Jane's is not a prestigious impartial source like Pravda but it is still an interesting tidbit of news.
What can we look for as a result of this report slowly bubbling to the surface?
Multiple distraction events. Frantic denials. Bizarre alternate theories. Furious personal attacks.
You guys get busy now, you hear.
facts:
that is old news
janes is owned
the investigation is owned
it don't matter who you are or not
When the Dutch release the Black Box recordings and the tapes from the Ukie Air Traffic Controllers, then I will pay attention. Otherwise, it is just more BS. Someone finds a small piece of metal 4 months after the incident and claims this is conclusive?
By shear co-incidence next week the Dutch team is back at the crash site.
With metal detectors no doubt.
Time to send in the Goldman squids so they can finnish off the Ukraine with their derivate schemes.
You still think this is a Republic?
has not been since war of aggression against South.
fast forward: no success in provoke attack on ukraine version fort sumpter
The things they teach people in school nowadays. My, my, my.
Regardless of whether secession was legal or not, the states that seceded could only take with them the territory of which they were comprised.
When they started invading a foreign country-- the United States of America, in the form of its wholly-owned territory of Fort Sumter-- they provoked a war that burned their dreams to ashes. Fort Sumter was not part of South Carolina, but a territory of the United States such as Puerto Rico or Guam today.
Try applying state law to a US Post Office, Federal Courthouse, or US military base today and you'll have some idea of what this is all about. None of these territories belong to the states in which they are (by courtesy) said to be located in.
Incidentally, the actual first shots of the war were a Confederate attempt to seize Fort Pickens outside of Pensacola, Florida.
So far the people of Western Ukraine have been silent . As the country undergoes economic upheval, quest to take back Eastern territories, increasing military casualties and austerity, civil reaction is sure to follow. Religious leaders may also play a role causing the Orthodox and Catholic church to become active against foriegn influence and disportionate representation in government decisionmaking and values. Ukraine is still a tinder box not completely understood by Wash. Neocons. Another Syria is possible which would test Putin's and Germany's patience in US meddling.
Throwin' gasoline on the fire in hopes the liquid will extinguish it.
No! I refuse to participate
You have not options...your soul belong to the State.
This is the best time for "We The People" get together and take Washington D.C. down and form a government run by truth American patriots and ban all dual-citizens for taking part in American politic arena.
