Built in Russian reparations

Russia’s assets have been frozen in many places. That amounts to some $300 billion. Small potatoes compared to Apple’s $ 3 trillion in market cap, but for Russia a pretty big number. Some $ 200 billion is  deposited in Europe.

For now those assets are just sitting there, but there is a justifiable feeling that Russia should pay for the damage it caused. It might even act as a deterrent if rogue nations like Russia realized they might have to pay for the lives and assets they are blowing up.

But like sovereign borders asset sanctity is an important element in international commerce. So two watered down versions have been suggested. The first that returns on these assets ….some $10 billion a year be used in Ukraine’s favor. The second that the principal be used as collateral to provide Ukraine with low cost construction loans.

Ultimately though I hope we get a legal answer. Russia convicted of war crimes and a court verdict in Ukraine’s favor for as much as it will take to rebuild their country. 

The departure of Putin as the real guilty party and an agreement with the succeeding government,  would make that more likely and eminently fair. And the fact that the chicken is just sitting there, ready to be plucked, makes it easy to execute.

Yes we welcome a war crimes committee consisting of all NATO members.

Then we welcome a war crimes committee on all USA past atrocities from a committee of non-NATO members. 

Well said Moonrover. 

But the country who will bear by far the biggest cost of this war will be the USA. Dedollarization is taking place at a rapid rate and it's effects will be huge on the US economy.

This all happened because the Globalist in the USA thought they could ruin Russia by kicking them off SWIFT. This thoroughly alarmed the rest of the World. 

It's not just dedollarization though it's the rise of a multipolar World that looks set to wrest hegemony away from the West. The West is becoming ISOLATED. This huge new block will see significant trade being diverted from the West. Europe is very scared of this. 

The Mozzzzquito is rejoicing over the theft of some 300 billion dollars belonging to Russia. As always he ignores the overwhelming evidence that the US led NATO instigated this war. He also ignores the established fact that the US led Nato didn't want to have peace and trashed the peace accord signed by Zelensky and Russia.

The painful dishonesty of the Mozzzzquito regarding Russia is matched only by his dishonesty about the deadly jabs. It's despicable.

The plans of the Globalists to destroy the West are succeeding. But that might change as more and more people join the Resistance. 

So Mozart condones theft and rejoices in it.

You disgust me and shows your true colours as a dishonest individual as well as a deceitful and untruthful character.

What an utter disappointment.

Just a very clear indicator what happens in societies that sanction devious measures to obtain power and wealth.

Be not deceived ...whatever you sow you shall reap

Well hopefully that applies to putin as well.

The Russia bots close ranks….predictable. The old tired lies that NATO wanted the war. 

But no it’s not theft, quite the opposite. If your tree falls on your neighbor’s house, you would have to pay for the damage. Russia has all but destroyed Ukraine’s cities….they should have to pay for what they have done.

But here’s another principle, if you refuse to pay your assets are customarily attached. In this case  the assets just happen to be in the West’s possession so enforcing a total justifiable order to pay for the damage, is a little easier.

Using your tree falling on a neighbors house as metaphor...LOL, is just a feeble, pathetic and devious attempt to disguise the real truth...you are a dishonest and manipulative ducker and diver. What a bitter disappointment...

Lol.

The poster that actually did duck and dive when Putin was schooled by his mercenaries tries to project his behavior on others.

RatsPutin will need to forfeit the personal fortune he's accrued.

I know Musk's impressed at the poison dwarf's wealth

If the USA was not directly involved in the 2014 coup in Ukraine and appointing of an interinm Government the chances of the civil war was zero.

If Ukraine was not a looting  and kickback opportunity for USA politicians  maybe there would have been a chance that the war would not even have been a remote .   But then I th ink you are on par with  Biden when eh said at one meeting "God save the queen" and then came up wit a classic that Russia lost the war in Iraq - one msut realize that the USA is no led by a geriatric with a totally fucked up mind and unaware of what he is doing in the WH. totally clueless as to what he  is doing in the WH.    The worst Pressident the USA ever had. 

There is no  doubt that the USA undermined he Constitution of Ukraine  and democracy by established a dangerous Banana republic run by a puppet Government causing a civil war in Ukraine.   I cannot believe that you do not know the present real situation in Ukraine existing by 2022.         

Mike the Mozzzzquito doesn't want to know. Right now his military industrial shares are doing very well thank you. 

Yes Mozzzzquito ignores the fact that when Russia agreed to allow East Germany to reunite with W Germany NATO undertook not to expand eastwards. They lied.

Then in 2014 the US led a coup to overthrown the duly elected pro Russian President. They then began an exercise to build up the Ukraine Army with a view to taking the Russian populated Crimea. They built gain of function labs on Russia's doorstop and placed missiles in Ukraine. Zelensky's Nazi Asov Battalion launched genocidal attacks against the Russians in East Ukraine. They suppressed the rights of the Russians as well. The East Ukrainian Russians appealed to a Putin for help. They held a referendum and voted overwhelmingly to be part of Rusdia. Why wouldn't they! 

The Deceitful Mozzzzquito tries to pretend this war begin when Russia entered the Ukraine with a small expeditionary force to try and force negotiations. This ploy worked as Zenendky and Russia signed a peace agreement. 

The Biden Regime were having none of it and dispatched Boris Johnston to go and scupper the agreement reached. Without the support of his masters Zekensky withdrew from the agreement. 

The lying Deceitful Mozzzzquito ignores all this. But as I said guess who will pay more dearly for this war than anybody else. THE USA. Americans will have the illigitimate  Globalist installed treasonous Biden Regime to thank.
