honestly what the eu is trying to is illegal
What retaliation? Hasn’t Russia done everything it can?
The real retaliation will be when Belgium has to send troops to defend Lithuania and Poland. How much of a dingbat do you have to be to not understand this? Showing weakness to bullies invites attack.
Reading the letter itself I have a feeling that it suggests to form a committee to build a plan to create a roadmap to have each EU citizen, on average, pay 80 euros a year to cover Ukraine’s fiscal hole. There are a few options considered: just take money directly from governments, create a conditional loan with condition more or less unachievable, create a contract with Euroclear that would be based on loan with unachievable condition or a combination of some of this fuckery. I may be be wrong, but it sounds as nothingburger as many other strongly-worded letters.
80% of the frozen assets are government bonds of various EU countries (France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, and the Netherlands afair) owned by the Russian Central Bank. It would be straight up geopolitical/economic suicide to seize these assets completely. NO ONE other than other EU countries will ever invest in these assets in the future if they are illegally seized.
Let’s go
Just don’t let them invade through the Ardennes this time around
Finally. All that nonsense worry…it was long overdue. The EU is a world power and should act like it and not be tossed around by russia and others as they please. Every inch we give, russia takes. They sabotage, they spin propaganda online and they kill europeans, while acting like the victim at every point.
They will act like the victim after this one too, who cares?
