American Abbatoir:- US Regime knows Ukraine offensive is Suicidal – fuels it anyway for Obscene Profits

Amid ‘staggering’ Ukrainian toll and souring US polls, Biden seeks $ 24,000,000,000 more for war profits

The Zelensky government appears to be a willing partner in McConnell’s sacrifice ritual.

Ukrainian defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov is said to have told US officials that flooding Ukraine with weapons allows NATO allies to “actually see if their weapons work, how efficiently they work and if they need to be upgraded. For the military industry of the world, you can’t invent a better testing ground.”

As Ukraine faces “staggering” losses and US public mood shifts, the Biden administration seeks billions more to prolong the war.

The Biden administration is asking Congress for an additional $24 billion for the Ukraine proxy war, more than half of it in military aid. The request comes one week after a CNN poll showed, for the first time, that a majority of Americans oppose additional funding to Kiev.

For a White House committed to ensuring a Russian “quagmire” in Ukraine, public opinion is of secondary importance. Two months into a widely hyped yet now faltering Ukrainian counteroffensive, a fresh influx of NATO weaponry appears necessary to prolong the war.

Ukraine’s “primary challenge” is breaking through Russia’s heavily fortified defensive lines, where “Ukrainian forces have incurred staggering losses.” According to Democratic Rep. Mike Quigley, US military assessments of the war are “sobering,” with Ukraine now facing “the most difficult time of the war.”

Exposing the Bank of England scam that sees millions of people face possible financial ruin

Many mortgage payers – whether middle or working class – are facing financial ruin and/or loss of their home, thanks to Bank of England (BoE) punitive interest hikes.

The hikes are supposed to help bring down inflation. But some economists argue that these hikes are politically motivated and that inflation can be better curbed by very different means.

Another way

Howard Beckett of Unite the Union tweeted that the best way to curb inflation is by taxing the wealthy and by nationalising the energy companies:

Meanwhile, economist Carsten Jung pointed out how inflation in Spain is only 2%, which is considerably less that that of the UK. He explains why:
