I’m not sure the $300 billion is stolen, rather it is probably frozen. We did something similar with $billions of Iran’s money with the capture of our Embassy people as a result of the Iran revolution. Eventually it was released back to Iran after agreements were signed. Some FReepers accused the Democrats of paying Iran for the agreements. It was merely releasing money that we had held for decades. I wonder if they got the original amount, or if there was accrued interest paid? I wonder what Russia will have to agree to in order to get their money back.
Those $hundreds of billions were released by obambam to Iran. I’m sure he only got, say 15% cut. There were all kinds of irregularities to the whole thing.
I understand that. But the EU governments are gripped in such a hysterical Red Scare and none of them could survive a vote to unfreeze the funds so it’s effectively stolen. They’ve gone beyond freezing too as they’re working on plans to just hand the money over to Zelenski and his cronies. That’s pure lawless theft. It would be like the US handing Iran’s frozen assets to Saddaam just to piss them off. This will only hurt us. If we have no respect for the intrinsic value of the dollar, how can we expect other governments to value it?
