quote:the US could easily give away far more than the Russians and not even as a loan or loan guarantee. I think $1 billion is just easy to get through congress if it even needs to. 'Could' meaning 'has the resources' or could meaning 'physically possible?' Because its a midterm election year in the U.S. and Congress is up, and the Republicans (which control the House, which controls the purse strings) aren't going to give anyone jack poo poo if they can possibly avoid it (except of course the military whether they want it or not) so they can come across as 'fiscally responsible/conservative/loving Obama' to the voters back home. They just killed a bill to expand financial help to veterans and their dependents by attaching Iranian sanctions to it because gently caress peace/Obama/muslims. Ukraine will be lucky to get anything this year, especially with the Republicans in the house extolling the virtues of a 'strong' Putin and wondering why Obama can't be a fascist.
