Wrong! Of course, if BADeckerville happened to be a legal lending institution like a bank in the US, then you are right right. I mean, checks are treated as money. All those little pieces of paper on the floor of the stock exchanges are treated as money at some time in their life. The banks have been given legal permission to treat promissory notes as money... in fact, as newly created money. The problem is that they are harming the borrowers when they require them to pay the loan off twice. But since the borrower doesn't realize what is going on, there isn't a whole lot he can say. Search on "Tom Schauf, bank freedom." In addition, the second payoff money is what the US and the wealthy use to direct US funds and armament to Ukraine. So, the common people are supporting the war without even realizing it, or realizing how. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) You seem seriously confused about what the fractional system is. You mean you get "fake" money and pay with "real money" or something like that? I would say you need to open a thread in the Economy section. Other than that, opt-out. It is easier than ever to get out of the fractional system and into a real-no-multiplier money with bitcoin and others. Now, believe that if you are actually borrowing rather than lending, is much much worse. I understand how you can be so easily duped by the banking system. Not all banking systems are the same. Just like the US is fighting Russia through the Ukraine. But here is the point that answers it about US and Euro bank loans. When the banker gets the signed loan paperwork from the borrower, he deposits this paperwork in an account, just like it was a check or money order. In the same way that a check or money order is money, the loan paperwork is money as well. Then the banker withdraws the money and gives it to the borrower in the form of cash or a bank check. An even trade. Borrower money to the banker in trade for banker money to the borrower. How do we know this to be true? The bank ledger shows the entries. Loan paperwork money in, and cash or bank check out. The bank and the borrower created new money together. Most borrowers don't know this. That's why they pay the loan off the second time over the next 10 to 30 years. If you don't want to believe it, just say so. But if you are seriously interest, study up on what Tom Schauf has to say, and why he is qualified to say it. The fractional system is simply another system that banks are allowed to use by government to make more money. The families that own the banking system use both methods to get money to help pay for wars that they use to get even more money... like this Ukraine one. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) This requires another thread, anyway. What you call paperwork is the recognition of a debt, with is accounted as an asset for the bank - because it is. Not exactly like a money order and is not registered in the same accounting concept but I get your point as both are the recognition of someone owing money to the bank. The recognition of a debt is not and cannot be treated a "money" and is not. You can potentially sell it for "money" (cash) or get a credit using it as collateral, but that is it. You cannot create cash with the "paperwork" just like that, only with cash reserves deposited in the Federal Reserve or, in other jurisdictions, in Central Banks AFAIK. On the fractional system, yes, it is a way of creating money, it is well known and a tool for monetary policy (and a grip that the Government has on banks in many jurisdictions). I think this is only vaguely related to Ukraine.

The loan is prepaid by the borrower, and shouldn't have to be repaid a second time over the years. As far as needing a new thread, certainly we can stop talking about it in this thread. But think of how much money the banks have raked in over the years by collecting on the loan twice. And when interest is included, and when property is foreclosed on, and when the promissory notes are sold on the market, just think of the money going to the families who own the FED, to control the supporting of the Ukraine to fight with Russia... and all kinds of other things around the world. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) EDIT: Besides, there already is a thread about this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5414658.msg60995801#msg60995801.

NATO (including Finland and Sweden) just reaffirmed their intent to welcome Georgia and Ukraine into the alliance. https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/official_texts_209531.htm![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2F7e010101d8357ddb605af8b32aa6e0d9.png&t=665&c=yrfNMr8Hdqpb_A)

Don't expect a good faith argument from him...he seems especially stubborn and clueless about how the global economy works. Essentially, US money is really only good in the US. Oh, sure, some countries play around with the USDollar. But most of it goes to buying something from the US.
US money is good everywhere. Nearly every country will take it either directly or exchange it to local currency. No other currency in the world comes close to the versatility of the US dollar. It doesn't matter where they buy something from... they all want US dollars as evidenced by the rising exchange rates. You should really travel abroad, maybe to Russia which you're so fond of. Even Russians love US dollar, especially the benjamin variety. All you are doing is confirming the point I made.

The point about Nato countries welcoming other countries into Nato is, if the US wants to be honest, and uphold their agreement with Russia to not advance Nato, they have to veto other countries coming into Nato. But it seems so far that the US is constantly breaking their contracts with other nations. So, they probably won't veto this action... that is if it isn't just all talk in the first place. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Now, that is not such an easy task when you have a barbaric neighbour throwing trash in your garden. The defensive systems needed go well beyond the rapid intervention force.

-cut- The point about Nato countries welcoming other countries into Nato is, if the US wants to be honest, and uphold their agreement with Russia to not advance Nato, -cut-
You gotta be kidding, there are no deals with russia worth making now. You know, against the country who invades, destroys and rapes. The whole point of Russia's governrment at the moment is having war against everyone, not just by military but with spreading misinformation and literal FUD. They don't have basic human rights or democracy so they want to believe no one else has those ideals either so they believe it's all a scam against them, so they continue to sabotage everything that even remotely seems humanitarian ideology. That country seems to be beyond recovery and sadly even new leadership probably wouldn't remove the corruption inside it for decades because that's so deeply rooted.

That country seems to be beyond recovery and sadly even new leadership probably wouldn't remove the corruption inside it for decades because that's so deeply rooted. So you don't remember. Were you even born back then? More than thirty years have gone by since U.S. Secretary of State James Baker assured Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in February 1990 that if Germany remained part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization after reunification and if the United States “maintained a presence” in that country, “there would be no extension” of NATO’s jurisdiction “one inch to the east.”1 NATO, of course, later was expanded to include not just the USSR’s former allies in Eastern Europe but even some former Soviet republics as well, and many Russians have claimed that, in taking in those new members, the NATO powers were reneging on promises that Baker and other high western officials had made as the Cold War was ending.2 The Americans, as Gorbachev himself put the point in 2008, had “promised that NATO wouldn't move beyond the boundaries of Germany after the Cold War but now half of central and Eastern Europe are members, so what happened to their promises? It shows they cannot be trusted.”
... This is the reason why Russia broke the Soviet Union up... an agreement that Nato wouldn't push further into former Soviet countries. Since then Russia has been focusing on fair and free trade with other nations. But the US has broken the agreement by extending Nato. If you think that Russia doesn't have basic human rights, all you need to do is search Youtube for all the Russian videos that show the freedom they have. They even have democracy among their leaders. They elect a person to be in power, and so far Putin has been successful in being what the majority wants. All governments are at least slightly different in their election methods. If you don't like their methods, be glad you aren't in Russia. You are intentionally forgetting about the US/CIA coups done in Ukraine since 2014, that pushed US puppets into government control to make war on Russia. Russia's response was the invasion, to protect both Russian and Ukrainian people who were being mistreated by the Ukrainian puppet government. Do you realize that the US and Nato countries have pumped nearly $100 billion into Ukraine for the war?... some in cash, and some in military machinery. It's being misused by Zelensky and the Ukrainian military... some of it being tucked away around the world for their future use if they don't conquer Russia (which they pretty well know by this time that they won't be able to do), and much of it being laundered back into the pockets of US government people. Seems to me that you are missing a whole lot of what is really going on. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

However Putin is quite old, he has started this war because he is got maybe 5 to 10 years of good health and "good thinking" left and has decided that he wants a page on the history books. Yes, he will probably defecate on himself in a few years, after having defecated virtually over the thousands of people. Sad history page it will be.

Ukrainians are very glad they're not in Russia and they would like that to be the case going forward. Unfortunately the totally democratically elected Putin is bringing the freedom of getting tortured and killed to Ukraine. Can you tell him - since you seem to have a direct line to Kremlin - that if he fucks off now and goes back to rigging elections and killing journalists in Russia then he might hold on to power until he croaks. Thanks.

And winter is still coming. I wonder if those Ukrainian dating sites are selling their women, now. The women would probably just love to get out of there. Washington's Carthaginian Peace Collides With RealityThe national political and military leaders who committed America to wars of choice in Vietnam, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq, did so as a rule because they were convinced the fighting would be short and decisive. American presidents, presidential advisors, and senior military leaders never stopped to consider that national strategy, if it exists at all, consists of avoiding conflict unless the nation is attacked and compelled to fight.
The latest victim of this mentality is Ukraine. In the absence of a critical root-and-branch analysis of Russia's national power and strategic interests, American senior military leaders and their political bosses viewed Russia through a narrowly focused lens that magnified U.S. and Ukrainian strengths but ignored Russia's strategic advantages—geographic depth, almost limitless natural resources, high social cohesion, and the military-industrial capacity to rapidly scale up its military power.
Ukraine is now a war zone subject to the same treatment the U.S. armed forces inflicted on Germany and Japan during the Second World War, on Vietnam in the 1960s, and on Iraq over decades. Power grids, transportation networks, communications infrastructure, fuel production, and ammunition storage sites are being systematically destroyed. Millions of Ukrainians continue to flee the war zone in pursuit of safety, with ominous consequences for Europe's societies and economies.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration repeatedly commits the unpardonable sin in a democratic society of refusing to tell the American people the truth: contrary to the Western media's popular "Ukrainian victory" narrative, which blocks any information that contradicts it, Ukraine is not winning and will not win this war. Months of heavy Ukrainian casualties, resulting from an endless series of pointless attacks against Russian defenses in Southern Ukraine, have dangerously weakened Ukrainian forces.

... ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) The guy who wrote that article isn't like most of your wackjobs. He's an intelligent wackjob with a successful US military career. But now he's literally just spewing Russian propaganda. In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and was engaged in a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor appeared on Russian state-owned network RT where he called for the annexation of the Donbas and said residents of the region "are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians."[19][34] Less than 40% of Donbas residents are ethnically Russian.[35] After Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Macgregor appeared on three Fox News programs to speak in support of Russia's actions.

And winter is still coming. I wonder if those Ukrainian dating sites are selling their women, now. The women would probably just love to get out of there. Washington's Carthaginian Peace Collides With RealityThe national political and military leaders who committed America to wars of choice in Vietnam, the Balkans, Afghanistan, and Iraq, did so as a rule because they were convinced the fighting would be short and decisive. American presidents, presidential advisors, and senior military leaders never stopped to consider that national strategy, if it exists at all, consists of avoiding conflict unless the nation is attacked and compelled to fight.
The latest victim of this mentality is Ukraine. In the absence of a critical root-and-branch analysis of Russia's national power and strategic interests, American senior military leaders and their political bosses viewed Russia through a narrowly focused lens that magnified U.S. and Ukrainian strengths but ignored Russia's strategic advantages—geographic depth, almost limitless natural resources, high social cohesion, and the military-industrial capacity to rapidly scale up its military power.
Ukraine is now a war zone subject to the same treatment the U.S. armed forces inflicted on Germany and Japan during the Second World War, on Vietnam in the 1960s, and on Iraq over decades. Power grids, transportation networks, communications infrastructure, fuel production, and ammunition storage sites are being systematically destroyed. Millions of Ukrainians continue to flee the war zone in pursuit of safety, with ominous consequences for Europe's societies and economies.
Meanwhile, the Biden administration repeatedly commits the unpardonable sin in a democratic society of refusing to tell the American people the truth: contrary to the Western media's popular "Ukrainian victory" narrative, which blocks any information that contradicts it, Ukraine is not winning and will not win this war. Months of heavy Ukrainian casualties, resulting from an endless series of pointless attacks against Russian defenses in Southern Ukraine, have dangerously weakened Ukrainian forces.
... ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) The guy who wrote that article isn't like most of your wackjobs. He's an intelligent wackjob with a successful US military career. But now he's literally just spewing Russian propaganda. In 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and was engaged in a conflict with Ukraine over its eastern parts, Macgregor appeared on Russian state-owned network RT where he called for the annexation of the Donbas and said residents of the region "are in fact Russians, not Ukrainians, and at the same time, you have Ukrainians in the west and in the north, who are not Russians."[19][34] Less than 40% of Donbas residents are ethnically Russian.[35] After Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Macgregor appeared on three Fox News programs to speak in support of Russia's actions. Russian state television broadcast excerpts of Macgregor's appearances, which included a characterization of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a "puppet," that Russian forces had been "too gentle" in the early days of the invasion and that Russian president Vladimir Putin was being "demonized" by the United States and NATO.

-cut- If you think that Russia doesn't have basic human rights, all you need to do is search Youtube for all the Russian videos that show the freedom they have.
They even have democracy among their leaders. They elect a person to be in power, and so far Putin has been successful in being what the majority wants. All governments are at least slightly different in their election methods. If you don't like their methods, be glad you aren't in Russia. -cut-
Ok i have to admit this was so funny i cracked up. Yeah, i am glad that i am not in Russia and have to deal with their fixed "elections", which would change soon if Russia got what they wanted (to invade Finland as well). And in youtube, yes, i can see numerous videos Russian politsiya (or let's just call them militia as they so much want to go back to that era again) beating up their citizens, how opposition falls out of windows or gets poisoned (which we only know about failed attempts that are just tip of an iceberg). Must be fun to defend totalitarian dictatorship, rapists and war criminals. My russian friends have been fleeing from there because some of their friends are in jail for protesting, some have been disappeared and some are fearing for their life because of their sexuality. -cut- Do you realize that the US and Nato countries have pumped nearly $100 billion into Ukraine for the war?... some in cash, and some in military machinery. It's being misused by Zelensky and the Ukrainian military... some of it being tucked away around the world for their future use if they don't conquer Russia (which they pretty well know by this time that they won't be able to do), and much of it being laundered back into the pockets of US government people. -cut-
I have funded Ukraine as well, because their an army worth funding. They are literally defending the whole Europe now as Russia won't be stopping if they ever would take over Ukraine. -cut- I see that you are referencing Wikipedia, one of the worst liars. People who lie are often doing so by mistake. Wikipedia does it by knowingly telling the truth much of the time, so that you trust their lies when they spout them.

Says a person that have never seen given any reliable source links (yes, i searched your post history) and is a text book example of a troll factory in action.

My russian friends have been fleeing from there because some of their friends are in jail for protesting, some have been disappeared and some are fearing for their life because of their sexuality. It isn't the people of the West and Europe who are pushing for this war. It's their leaders doing it. It's a push to cut Russia off from free trade, to take over free trade throughout the world. And the people of the West (including the so-called free nations of Europe) are suffering for it. No fuel for winter heat, for example. Hyper-inflation for example. -cut- Do you realize that the US and Nato countries have pumped nearly $100 billion into Ukraine for the war?... some in cash, and some in military machinery.

It wasn't Russia who started killing Ukrainian people in 2014. It was the Ukrainian puppet government, set in place by the US CIA. Russia's police action was intended to stop the Ukrainian/US killers, but the US won't let itself be stopped. At least not easily. -cut- I see that you are referencing Wikipedia, one of the worst liars. People who lie are often doing so by mistake.

Ukrainians are very glad they're not in Russia and they would like that to be the case going forward. Unfortunately the totally democratically elected Putin is bringing the freedom of getting tortured and killed to Ukraine. Can you tell him - since you seem to have a direct line to Kremlin - that if he fucks off now and goes back to rigging elections and killing journalists in Russia then he might hold on to power until he croaks. Thanks. It is probably the best advice. Withdrawn the slave troops before they just run away in chaos, claim a total victory and decide that Ukraine has been "denazified enough" and that this will teach them what the Eastern culture is. Make a parade by the newly inaugurated "Moscow Sun" and call it a day. Die in peace one day, knowing that you crapped, but not enough to be killed.

And meanwhile sit around in darkness from your electricity power plants being bombed out of existence. Now, now. Don't cry. Why not simply give Ukraine back to Russia so the pain stops... before winter sets in and it gets really bad? After all, Zelensky and his henchmen have already raped the funds the US sent. They have their millions, and would like to get to the warm islands to live their money off. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Weird how Zelensky's message to Putin answers your question. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gyazo.com%2Fc1b399c342eb55f1be06e701d8ed9b2c.png&t=665&c=GYoy67y98vr1cw) Do you still think that we are 'one nation?' Do you still think that you can scare us, break us, make us make concessions? Read my lips: Without gas or without you? Without you. Without light or without you? Without you. Without water or without you? Without you. Without food or without you? Without you, Cold, hunger, darkness and thirst are not as scary and deadly for us as your "friendship and brotherhood". But history will put everything in its place. And we will be with gas, light, water and food ... and WITHOUT you! That guy is gonna have his face on some money one day.

But that is not necessarily in the benefit of Ukraine or Ukrainian people. He's weakening Russia at expense of the Ukrainian lives and the Europe is paying for it. He might have won if the whole world fell for the rhetoric of the US but still a large part of world knows it's a proxy war between the US and Russia.
