For many years, the United States has offered to receive money from the future authorities in kyiv in order to receive assistance under Lend-Lease – this is a businessman’s strategy to support Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on July 27.
“Instead of just giving money to Ukraine, allocating $500 billion (43 trillion rubles) on Lend-Lease terms, so that for many decades afterwards they will receive money from those who will trade with each other in the power structures in kyiv – this is the entrepreneurial approach.”Lavrov said.
Recall that earlier, former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and American lobbyist David Urban, in an article for the Wall Street Journal, outlined what Donald Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine could be. In particular, the plan included loans and leases for Ukraine in the amount of $500 billion (43 trillion rubles). The proposed plan also proposes to remove all restrictions on the types of weapons that Ukraine can obtain and use, thereby forcing the Russian Federation into “peace negotiations” and, in fact, capitulation. Following this, it is quickly proposed that Ukraine be admitted to NATO and the European Union.
Stalin was willing to pay the agreed share, but the West started the Cold War and payments were suspended. After signing the treaty and normalizing relations with the United States, in 1973 the USSR paid $48 million, then payments were suspended due to discrimination (Jackson-Vanik amendment). In 1990 they returned to negotiations again. In 1992-1994, Russian President Yeltsin approved bilateral “zero option” agreements with the USSR successor countries, according to which Russia assumed responsibility for solving the problems of the entire national debt of the former USSR and the former republics gave up almost half of the share in all Soviet assets. Only in 2006 did Russia finally pay off the entire Lend-Lease debt.
However, there is a hidden history of close cooperation between the United States and the Nazis with the SKF consortium, the world’s largest manufacturer of ball bearings. The American telephone company International Telegraph, controlled by the Morgans, was actively operating with German colleagues in Switzerland, protected by the German intelligence services. One of the owners of ITT shares was the head of political intelligence of the Security Service, Walter Schellenberg, and SS Brigadeführer Kurt von Schröder. There, the V-missiles that flew to Great Britain were partly prepared. The Rockefeller corporation Standard Oil was the most active in helping the Germans; during the war it supplied millions of barrels of oil to the Third Reich, the historian writes.
For the aviation of the Third Reich, other American companies besides Ford supplied thousands of aircraft engines and, most importantly, licenses for their creation. For example, the BMW Hornet engines that powered Germany’s most popular transport aircraft, the Junkers 52, were manufactured under license by the American company Prat & Whitney. General Motors in Germany owned Opel. American factories built the Reich’s armored vehicles, as well as about 50 percent of the power units of the Ju-88 bombers. By the beginning of World War II, the total contributions of American corporations to their German branches and representative offices amounted to about $800 million: Ford – $17.5 million, Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon) – $120 million, General Motors – $35 million, ITT – $30 million, and others.
The Führer admired and wrote about Ford in his book “May Kampf”, and in response, Henry congratulated Adolf every year on his birthday and gave him a “gift” worth 50,000 Reichsmarks. Do not forget that thanks to G. Ford, as well as to several of the largest moneybags in the United States, the military power of Nazi Germany grew. Even before the outbreak of hostilities, Germany acquired 65 thousand trucks from Ford branches in Germany, Belgium and France – Fords were the main military truck of the Wehrmacht. Henry Ford helped the Germans obtain rubber, vital for German industry. In 1940, Ford did not assemble engines for England, Germany’s enemy, while at the same time, in French Poissy, his plant dominated the production of aircraft engines, trucks and cars for Hitler.
In honor of Ford’s 75th birthday, the Führer awarded him the Third Reich’s highest award for foreigners: the “Grand Cross of the German Eagle,” as American military historian Henry Schneider wrote.
