Just what Michael Hudson has been saying for some time was in store for Ukraine.
Fort RussIf you are a puppet of the US empire and you consign your sovereignty to Washington, you get an abundance of money, financing, arms, and multinational corporations looking for business and ready to plunder the resources of your country. If instead you put yourself on a collision course with these powers, as in the case of Greece, your financial faucets get shut off, and you risk default.
This is the lesson from two parallel vignettes, that of Ukraine on one side, where a U.S. puppet government took office, via coup d’etat, and on the other, that of Greece, where, thanks to free elections, a popular government took office hostile to big banks and the EU.…

He's an oligarch. That's how oligarchs roll.
Right, the US rewards its puppets handsomely.
They will never pay this IMF loan back .... might as well just give them the money....
That's part of the deal. They have to continue borrowing and with every new loan give up more and more of their country. This is what's happening in Greece now, which Syriza is valiantly trying stop.
