“Loan”… business is business, war is just business

>The funding mechanism stops short of seizing the frozen Russian assets outright. The EU has been worried that such a move would discourage other countries from keeping their assets in the bloc.
That is why U.S. is not getting involved. Besides, U.S. has very little of the Russian assets on its territories. EU is trying to help Ukraine continue to survive at a critical time before the election in the U.S. and the risk of a Trump presidency which may leave EU alone responsible for Ukraine.
When approved and delivered in some form, this will provide a cushion of sorts for Ukraine to carry on for a few months beyond November, a time of significant importance including meeting energy needs during the winter.

“This theme has been that Americans are admittedly rich, that Americans have considerable industrial power- but that Americans are soft and decadent, that they cannot and will not unite and work and fight. From Berlin, Rome, and Tokyo we have been described as a Nation of weaklings- “playboys”–who would hire British soldiers, or Russian soldiers, or Chinese soldiers to do our fighting for us. Let them repeat that now! Let them tell that to General MacArthur and his men. Let them tell that to the sailors who today are hitting hard in the far waters of the Pacific. Let them tell that to the boys in the Flying Fortresses. Let them tell that to the Marines!” – FDR
This is a European war. They should have been funding this all along and grateful for our assistance. Russia’s military can’t do shit to us besides throw nukes, which would lead us to retaliate in kind, killing us all.
