19. That's exactly what it is 'a "troika" package to save the banks and strangle the people, paid for by

EU taxpayers, will net big profits in privatisation.'

A repeat of what the Austerity, Big Bank people have done to Greece and Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Italy where they will keep approving 'loans' which come with BIG STRINGS attached, strangling former sovereign nations, killing their Social Programs, providing great opportunies for 'investors who will be able to buy the country's national treasures at bargain basement prices.

The IMF has already started in Ukraine, one of the first thing targeted? People's pensions. Anyone following the tragedy of Europe over the past six or seven years, will recognize this instantly. Flashback to Argentina, and Naomi Klein's 'Shock Doctrine'.

Corruption puts a country in debt, the IMF zeroes in, taking advantage of the shocked population, and begins to take over the country's assets etc.

Worse, they moved so quickly before an ELECTED Govt of the people, could speak for them. They appointed a now very familiar 'type' leader in Europe, known as 'Technocrat' who will do as he is told, or, anyone remember when the people of Greece chose a leader, but the shadowy forces now controlling Europe, replaced him with a former Goldman Sacks guy?

Once this deal is done, no legitimately elected leader will be able to stop it.

Ukraine is now safely on the same path as Greece and nothing can change that right now.
