Is Ukraine sovereign in the fullest meaning of the word?
External debt from institutions like the IMF and World Bank can strip off a nation’s sovereignty in that if they can’t repay then they will lose their sovereignty as they can’t make decisions fully.
Is a debt-ridden country be regarded as in a hostage situation held against its will due to debt to such an extent that it loses the right to determine its destiny. Right to opt for peace?
Could the IMF and World Bank’s loans have Ukraine land as collateral? This could only mean that they will keep fighting for any land Russia might take.
Is Ukraine sinking in debt and is writing off the debt an option? Have they tried to write off the debt?
What are the conditions of writing off such debt? Do the conditions for writing off this debt have anything to do with countries in conflict? Conflict-affected situations FCS. Debt as enticing wars; a trigger of the war. It can be inferred that a country deep in debt can opt to have the debt written off first before opting for peace but if that conflict is not regarded as intense enough to justify such classification. That can have an effect on peace and negotiations, especially before the debt is written off.
The other critical factor is that of the ‘small print’ regarding the conditions for getting the loans written off. Did the IMF and the World Bank clarify the conditions for having the loans written off?
Do the conditions of the loan from the IMF and World Bank somehow trigger wars, especially considering that they insist on reforming the pension and the state employment. A condition that can be manipulated by externally invisible hands who I call the Hell-raisers; who think they can do better and drag the country to war with the aim to permanently cull pensioners and soldiers through wars? A real sad reality as the IMF and World Bank’s loans are always associated with wars.
What is winning the war?
We believe that there are other underlying issues that need to be resolved first before any meaningful dialogue.
