They’re really trying to expand this war.

So with all the aid money the US gives to countries it’s backing in wars, I have to ask:

Aren’t they worried that too much of their money is in the hands of too many people? Like with all the billions that they keep giving to the likes of Ukraine, Taiwan, Israel, etc. Doesn’t the dollar inflate and become less valuable in the world? They’re just printing dollars atp, if I were a Ukrainian politician with a few hundred million in US $ I’d start using that to win favors in other countries that need US dollars to pay their debts.

Start my own lending service with all the money I have.

As long as the dollar is the reserve currency of the world, and as long as oil is sold in dollars, they never have to worry about inflation. That is why the US is so furiously stepping on anybody who tries to change those two facts.

What lorty says is true, and is infact the key reason why the American elite is so scared of dedollarisation. Dollar hegemony is the linchpin of the American empire.

The inflation caused by having more dollars around is spread all over the world, it’s not like local currencies where printing more causes inflation only on the country in question.

That would be Ukraine 3.0 or Georgia 2.0, both those countries are regularily being meddled in.

By the way, the 20% threshold of the Georgian Law is far more forgiving than the Foreign Agents Registration Act that applies in the US, which is way more broad and also more vague in its restrictions.

Also, it’s like libs and Eurolickers have forgotten that we’ve just finished spending 5 years of US media and government agencies crying about the possibility that Russia “might have meddled” in their elections. Why are they decrying a country that is trying to prevent that from happening.

On a side note, a few days ago, the Georgian president came on stage during a military ceremony and addressed the troops, basically asking them to help her overthrow the prime minister. The prime minister came up on stage after her and outright called her a traitor.

What’s more is that the western media is calling it a “Russian law”

Why tf do these Georgians think they would be a part of the EU? No one considers Georgia to be European unlike Ukraine.

They have the world’s highest concentration of “NGO’s”. One for every 148 citizens. There’s a lot of money floating around that’s untraced. The likes of Frau Genocide, Von Der Leyen, are making all kinds of promises to them, same as they did to the Ukrainians.

How is an ngo distinct from a normal business, or are they the same?

Often they dont need to declare profits or anything financial.

It’s more like a private association than a private business.

Non governmental organisation. They’re usually privately funded, not businesses at all.
