Note - NOT seizing the Russian assets held in Europe, only the revenues they generate

Does the EU expect that Russia will take this lying down? They could be draging Europe in to a war. The MIC will be very happy.

You are an amazingly short-sighted ass.

There will be nasty repercussions from this folly throughout the monetary systems of the western world.

Europe agrees with who or what?

And this improves the outcome of the war how?

Just because the Euro’s will be giving the Ukes this money does not necessarily mean relief to US tax payers.

I suspect there will be some sort of retaliation from the Ruskies over this.

It’s waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late for this to be undone, but Russia could have been our ally in deterring our true enemy, Red China, had history’s recipe for creating allies been used. That history lesson is where we beat Japan and Germany and then treated them fairly after the war during reconstruction. Had Russia been treated fairly after Reagan caused the collapse of the Evil Empire, there’s a good chance there would be no war today.

Interesting precedent, and not a good one. But it seems like WWIII is going to happen on schedule so enjoy the ride. The last drop is a big one though.

finally!

“Russia must pay for its war damages.”

The financial assets were frozen shortly after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.”

Why would we be relieved? We're still financially on the hook and this act is the latest attempt the Europeans are using to provoke war. The US may end up on the hook for WWIII, sending our own flesh and blood to fight for nothing because of the stupid, malevolent nature of the world government located in the UN/WEF/NATO/WHO which is working to overthrow Russia and 'make' it an obedient, subservient NATO vassal.

In WWII, the Soviets and Americans were not 'friends' and hated each other's ideology. I'm glad the Soviets made Hitler's soldiers fear the Russian front. We're in the same position as NATO works to tee up WWIII. Russia and the US are not 'buddies', but it helps if Russia actually fights and kills AZOV Nazi military and the army that the Deep State bought and paid for in the Ukraine.

A needless escalation of a war in which we should not be taking sides. The Russians might just decide to recover their losses from the Ukrainian recipients of their stolen property.

"The Neocons wanted Ukraine to kill Russians, with no regard to how many Ukrainians would be left.

Then, they even bragged how the Ukrainians would fight to the very last man – which we are rapidly approaching.

There has never been any consideration for Ukrainian lives, and Zelensky is counting on being swept away to Miami when the last Ukrainian falls." -- Martin Armstong.

Why are you still here whining away like a little girl? You told the Management and us, over a month ago, that you were leaving.

To: Jim Robinson; Chris Robinson

#179, 191, etc.

This is a good example of why FR is dying

FR used to be fun, positive, something to look forward to Now it’s just rampant bullying and personal insults every day - and you do nothing about it

So good people quietly leave ... with their donations

Look, it’s your site, if you want to turn Free Republic into “Free Russia”, just keep doing nothing

But then make sure you hit up the Russia cheerleaders for your donations (funny, we never see their names on the donor board)

Go ahead, flame me, I don’t care ... I’m on my way out of FR too, it’s not fun anymore

How long until they do the same thing to the US because we’re “acting unilaterally” and they have to “show us”?
