Methinks that the money going to Ukraine is to be distributed to all the politicians from US going over to pat Zelenski on the back for doing such a good job. Remember the Biden connections, both "big guy" and son, are recipients of rather a large sum of money from the country. And why not let Mitch and Nan go over to get their "fair share" as it is known. Just sayin'.

All you hear from the elected idiots is, "we must preserve our democracy." There is not a more democratic institution on planet earth than a free capitalistic market. Yet the idiots in charge tell us we can't practice free market capitalism in America. They tell us we need regulation so they can protect us from the bad actors. Then they use the regulations to put their fat thumbs on the scale to enrich themselves, family, friends, and Tribe. Is anyone really surprised that the supposed protectors turned out to be the bad actors? If so, then who's really the idiot?

I rarely comment on the always-spot-on writings of Bill Bonner and company, and since Bill mentioned George W. Bush as he often does, here's an interesting video clip about GWB>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEg6Ht2pNH0

Thank you for posting the video! I loved GWB's slip of the tongue "invasion of Iraq".

About $9 billion of the $40 billion will be used to restock the US weapons stockpile which has been depleted by giving our weapons to Ukraine. This makes sense to me. The other $31 billion is a mishmash of "do gooder" project money that will probably end up in the pockets of corrupt Ukrainian officials.

True, but hope is eternal. Just don't get too hopeful.

Another masterpiece by Mr. Bonner. 😀

When the Ukrainian was born, the Jew cried. An old saying. Ukraine is high end military strategical land. The only way Russia can defeat them and claim victory is with an all out full scale assault. It’s probably going to happen somewhere down the pike, and eventually lead to another world war.

Inflation, bankruptcies, unemployment, stock market crash, global pandemic, terrorism, ect...are all preludes to the coming world war.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” Mathew 6:19, if Mr. Bonner wants to get biblical about it. 😂

Very well spoken. I used to follow Jack Van Impe, back in the day before I started thinking for myself! 😂 He was a very interesting man, in my opinion.

I recently came across an old album of his up in my attic called “The Coming War With Russia” that he recorded back in 73! I had no choice but to bust out the old record player and sat through the whole thing! I only laughed like 5 times! Lol, but you never know, the guy believed “RIP” that Pope Francis (Bergoglio) is Peter the Roman, who governs the church during armageddon! 😂

Anyway, back to reality, keep buying gold, land, and real estate to keep up with inflation!

There are shady oligarchs in Ukraine as well as Russia. Some of those Ukrainians are arms dealers, and the West has just arranged the chance of supplies they never dreamt of. Unfortunately, they may sell some of those arms to people who could use them on us, and shoot down, say a couple of American Airlines flights, or even do something else. Congressmen and Senators should be more careful what they wish for.

I am not a woman, but having just read today's missive, I too was shocked that you were the only one to call Bill out on his "swipe" at women for using baby formula. But it's typical Bonner; know-it-all black and white ideological blindness. Apart from women working, there are many reasons why women can't breast feed, and reasons too why some babies can't suckle. The recent article below goes into these.

Like you, I have read Bill for 20+ years. The diaries I enjoyed the most were those written from his time stuck on the ranch during covid. He suddenly became a man living in the present. It was great to see him psychologically relieved of his typical pessimism and negativity. I hoped he would just stay there and forget about making more money and enjoy a simple retired life with Elizabeth, but unfortunately, no.
