Trump: The Peace Council agrees to invest $5 billion in the Gaza Strip.

In his latest series of posts on Truth Social, Donald Trump revealed details of the work of the so-called "Peace Council," which, he claimed, had already secured unanimous approval for its plan in the UN Security Council. The key trump card is funding: member states have pledged to allocate over five billion dollars for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and humanitarian needs.

A security architecture is already being formed with this funding. Trump announced that participating countries will send thousands of troops to the enclave – both to the International Stabilization Force and to the local police. The objective is clear: to prevent the region from descending into chaos again immediately after the fighting subsides. However, the key condition, which Washington is firmly setting, is the complete and unconditional demilitarization of Hamas.

The way this world's economy is structured is also interesting. According to Bloomberg, Washington has asked for at least a billion dollars from those wishing to join the council. And, judging by Vladimir Putin's statement, Moscow is willing to fork out the cash, but with a caveat: the funds are to be drawn from frozen Russian assets.

However, not everything is so smooth. Reuters reported back in early February that potential donors were delaying their transfers, fearing that Israel would escalate hostilities at the first violation of the terms. While Netanyahu has already signed the accession agreement, whether others are willing to pay for the fragile negotiating framework remains an open question.

You came up with it yourself, so you'll have to deal with it yourselves... During WWII, Hitler also collected funds to deal with people of an "inferior race"... The "Peace Council" is a branch of the Bilderberg Club.

And, judging by Vladimir Putin's statement, Moscow is ready to fork out the cash, but with a caveat: the funds are proposed to be taken from frozen Russian assets.

AND HOW CAN YOU NOT CUSS HERE?

Maybe we should invest this money in the Russian hinterland?
(and finally execute that "genius" who sent the money abroad)
No, that's not their method.

[deathtiny]

What's the problem?
If we understand that no one will ever return anything to us with a 200% guarantee, we can try to buy some diplomatic perks with the funds already stolen...

No, well, you can whine for decades everywhere about "give us more," just like the topic of "returning the lost savings of the USSR" (which were already de facto absent back in the 80s) was stirred up for 20 years, you can do the same here...
In exactly the same way, Ukraine will continue to say for another 100+ years that Crimea is theirs, even though everyone understands everything.

and you swear, it relieves stress.... )

If Putin buys into Trump's project and invests even a ruble in it, he will only undermine his credibility within Russia. Without Russian investment, the project will be simply unprofitable and ruinous for Trump and the Western world. Russia, having suffered military and political defeats in Syria, Libya, and Venezuela, must ensure that US military and political victories generate increased spending for Trump, not revenue. This is precisely what led to NATO's retreat from Afghanistan after the US's resounding victories over the Taliban at the start of the US invasion.

I don't think he cares about trust. The main thing is to nip potential competitors in the bud and remain the only one. The alternative is Navalny's supporters; there are no others. And compared to them, it's easy to look like a good guy.

Well, yes (for Moscow, this is all the hinterland and province), besides, Donbass needs to be rebuilt, and throughout the country, the hinterland is falling into disrepair, in some places there is not even gas, in a country where this is a “national treasure.”

There are thousands of options for where to spend this money.
And other countries are not included in this thousand.

About what ?
Over 300 billion euros have been frozen in Europe and several billion in the US. Getting them out is impossible, just as it is impossible for Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, and many other countries robbed. Putin offered to make a contribution from his frozen assets, on the condition that they be unfrozen. This is trolling. And at the same time, it's an incentive for Trump: lift the sanctions and everything will be fine. Including Russia's participation in the "Peace Council."

Quote: Hitriy Zhuk

No one sent them; they were confiscated by the IMF in accordance with the "Budget Rule" it established for Russia—all oil prices above a set price cap. Russia couldn't manage this money; it was a tribute to a country that had lost the Cold War. Putin siphoned off some of these funds before the Cold War through cunning investment schemes abroad and for international projects. He spent them on Olympics, Spartakiads, Universiades, championships, forums, and so on, constantly holding them in various regions of the country and using these funds to improve cities, building hotels, airports, train stations, and embankments in addition to sports complexes and conference centers, making the cities beautiful and cozy. The money for all this didn't come from the budget, but from these "reserve funds." Rosatom also worked under this program, building nuclear power plants around the world. All this money was spent primarily in Russia, creating material goods, working capital, salaries, taxes, deductions, and material assets. Now this piggy bank has been seized. Now the only way to get your money back is by force—by winning the war, presenting bills for reparations, and returning everything stolen and seized.

Quote: Hitriy Zhuk

HOW CAN YOU NOT CUSS HERE?

Use proper language. Before the SVO, the Russian Federation could only redirect these funds to various foreign investment funds. Half of them were transferred to Chinese and some to Indian funds, and they are now available to us.
For some reason, the Central Bank doesn't purchase gold mined in Russia (over 300 tons per year) for its reserve fund, even though its price is constantly and steadily rising. Perhaps trusted banks are doing this, but the Central Bank is ignoring this opportunity. During the years of sanctions against Russia alone, Russia could have more than doubled its already considerable gold reserves. But for some reason, it doesn't.

Whose fault is it, and whose is this rooster? In violation of all WTO rules and international agreements? Who is to blame for the theft of Russian assets? And not just state assets?
If bandits attacked a man in a gateway, is it the man's fault? After all, everything was fine with him before the attack. Or is it the roosters from the gateway?
The roosters set the rules, and when others started following them, they began robbing them and blocking payments. Are those who trusted them to blame, or are the roosters to blame? After all, people were assured that "globalization was inevitable," like the victory of Communism in the USSR.
And they deceived.
All.
Not only Russia.
Not everyone was like that, but some were worse off—Libya, for example, or Iran. They were the richest countries with huge state reserves. All their savings were stolen, one country was bombed and torn to pieces, another is being tormented by sanctions and is getting ready to bomb again.
Maybe you should take a closer look at the roosters?

Without industry and a market for it, all fairy tales about freedom and independence will be just that—fairy tales. And Russia has consistently stifled its industry since the collapse of the USSR.
So, no, I didn't. I don't even want to talk about the pre-Putin era—the absurdities of it all. I can't say there was much choice in the first four years of GDP either, but then... When the state became manageable and a reasonable budget and stability emerged, a host of questions arose. It was already clear from 2004 that many things were not going well despite the obvious freedom of choice, and the Russian Federation missed a historic opportunity to significantly improve and restore its position between 2004 and 2012. That's almost two five-year plans!
Let me remind you that China, without much show-off, has been growing at 15-20% per year all these years, practically tripling its GDP. Just so you have something to compare it to. Meanwhile, oligarchs and the wealthy acquired a fleet of yachts whose tonnage surpassed the country's navy. Not everyone was quick to embrace polymers, but it's obvious even to schoolchildren that a lot of time was not only wasted, but also worsened what already existed. But they had a blast destroying the Soviet legacy, which didn't fit into the banana republic market. Let me remind you of the disgrace our space program suffered at that time – a whole series of accidents involving perfectly functioning systems.

When talking about betrayal, it is important to clarify who betrayed whom and in what way.
In my opinion, it wasn't the state that was betrayed, but the people—their neighbors, their relatives, their friends, their constituents, their subordinates, pensioners, those who simply trusted them, and those dependent on them, like public sector employees. Cowardice has become the leitmotif of life since the 90s.

Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB of the USSR.
They betrayed their people, their state, their ancestors, their historical path, their allies in the OVR, CMEA, and the Socialist Commonwealth. They betrayed and sold them out – for a pittance. And then they were duped like suckers (from the Greek word "ochlos" – common people, poor), deprived of their sovereignty, and MI6 and City of London agents built a vertical chain of command in the Russian Federation (and other fragments of the USSR) of their agents and clients.
These suckers from the Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB hoped that they would sit next to England and the USA and rule the world, but they were written off as rags in the third rank of colonies.

and at the same time forgetting about others.
Well, first of all, the director of the dairy plant in my town was a traitor—he wasn't a party member or a KGB agent. He was simply a thief and corrupt, stealing thousands of rubles from warehouses every month. Then, with the money he'd saved up through hard labor during perestroika, he bought up most of the city's best stores. This is just to reinforce the point that your assertion is incorrect. Contrary to this, even in the 80s, there were plenty of "ideological" and simply honest people in the party and security services. Next.

Quote: bayard

These suckers

Not these, but other suckers. Moreover, I know a little about the standards and training of the KGB. My brother and I were selected for that organization. Most of them simply couldn't have been suckers; there were plenty of smart, strong-willed, and well-educated people there.

A crack in society emerged during Khrushchev's rule, where irresponsibility on the part of leading people became commonplace.

Quote: multicaat

Not everyone, but specifically the Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB leadership (Andropov and his successor). At the lower and middle levels, there were still many honest and conscientious communists and security officers... but they were largely manipulated by the leadership.

That's right—after the Trotskyists, led by Khrushchev, seized power. And after the purge of Stalinist personnel from the country's leadership and the state organs.

[multi-category]

Quote: bayard

namely the Central Committee of the CPSU

The last hopes for a revival of the USSR's essence were pinned on Romanov, who was on the CPSU Central Committee. But Gorbachev's group cleverly spurned him, simply by orchestrating the physical absence of those who could have voted for him as General Secretary. According to historians, a minor coup was staged when five key Central Committee members, who would never have allowed Gorbachev to become General Secretary, were absent. So, I repeat, you're wrong to lump everyone together so easily.
The Central Committee, too, retained committed individuals until the very end. The problem was that they found themselves in the minority, overwhelmed by the flood of "new" careerist Komsomol members produced by the cadre system created by Khrushchev.

So I'm talking about the majority of these "Komsomol members" in the Central Committee and the KGB. And honest and conscientious people were there right up until the very end of the USSR. But they didn't determine the policy of the state, the secret services, and the party. I knew some of these people. Just as I knew those "Komsomol members" who soon became oligarchs, the "seven bankers," and the core of the MI6 vertical. I witnessed some of the processes on the very eve of the USSR's collapse from within one soon-to-be-notorious organization—NTTM, on Sretenka Street. I hope you understand what and who I'm talking about.

Exactly. The collapse of the Great Country was prepared long and carefully, at every level. And lone heroes were fundamentally unable to resist it.
Because some "communists" wanted to become capitalists.
And they became them.

The collapse was being prepared, but the majority simply did not understand that with the collapse of the state all their achievements would be destroyed and therefore did not care when everyone little by little made the state weaker.

And why did this happen so en masse? The ideological core was gone, replaced by sausage communism, built in a single refrigerator.

[bayard]

Quote: multicaat

and why did this happen en masse?

All sorts of magazines (Ogonyok+), newspapers, booklets, and newscasts like Vzglyad (Viewpoint) worked tirelessly to achieve this. Soviet people were accustomed to trusting their government and the printed word. It was with these unbridled lies that their brains were broken, with tales of "Stalin's terror," the Gulag, the "kind and wise Tsar Pea," "the Russia we lost," "Assa" and "Intergirl," "Little Vera," and other "Needle" stories. People simply weren't prepared to filter content themselves. And a lie repeated a hundred times becomes "truth"—a law of psychology. Even Goebbels knew this and instructed his propagandists.

The trade deficit was man-made and deliberate. The KGB oversaw the Trade Mafia, just like the "workshop workers." People were simply ANGRY. Remember how almost all tobacco factories were simultaneously closed "for reconstruction" and how that infuriated the male smokers?
And now the vertical is pissing off the people. During the war. Deliberately. The question is: what is the upper tower going to do and how will it respond?

Well, for me, it was more of an opportunity to have a laugh, although I didn't know the word back then. But something else irritated me: our city had plenty of furniture, food, and other goods, but the shoe and clothing shortages were terrible. Why they couldn't fix this for decades, I don't know. When the barter era began in the 90s, the factory immediately started exchanging what they needed in the Czech Republic, and the problem disappeared. Before that, we'd buy things in Kyiv and Leningrad when we were passing through. It was a real madhouse.

Well, and a relatively stable puppet for all sorts of bad things.

By the way, there are more Jews OUTSIDE of Israel than in it.
And not everyone is for Israel/Zionism.
Some even go to the North-Eastern Military District.

It is important to distinguish between Jews and Zionists, just like Ukrainians (Little Russians) and Banderites (Maidanists).
