Not sure if this was posted if it was I missed it.

Belgian PM asked questions about responsibility / consequences, didn't get answers

Weird

i think i watched that a couple of days ago. i didnt post it here because he rambled on forever. anyway:

Russia has roughly €190–€210 billion in sovereign assets frozen in the EU, most of it held at Euroclear in Belgium. Belgium therefore holds much of Russia’s immobilised state money. The EU is actively looking for legal ways to take value from those assets. Belgium is wary because it would be the primary legal and financial target if anything goes wrong.

Imagine a group of people deposit their savings in a bank. The bank refuses to return the money, then looks for ways to launder it and give it to its friends. That’s effectively what’s happening: Russia’s reserves are frozen in Belgium, Europe won’t return them, and Brussels is trying to find a legal route to divert the funds. i.e. steal them.

The US is posturing to go to war with China, therefore if Europe does decide to steal these assets from Russia, then (a) Russia will tit for tat and (b) the rest of the world must consider Europe as a bad actor, and will start to divest their assets from Europe. its not logical to keep your investment with criminals who have stated that you are next.

There are also 70bn of private savings at Euroclear, Russian and non-Russian nationals that used Russian brokers to invest, which have nothing to do with Russian reserves. It’s a complex clusterfuck and nobody wants to be the one who pulled the trigger when this goes wrong (and it will).

WHEN Europe does this, the act of theft will be quickly forgotten (we will get a narrative). then we will see Russia's tit for tat (its what they do) and the Middle East and Chinese responses (they will be forced to respond noting they also hold assets in europe). This response will move assets OUT of Europe. The consequence - We will see the cost of living throughout Europe increase even further and we will be told that it is Russia, India, Saudi and China's fault. how dare they attack europe like this, unprovoked.

FML. If you dont want to be called a criminal, dont do bad things.

So the countries in europe that will most be hit from this are Germany, Italy, Belgium, France and Spain. For Germany, the US instructions to them to decapitate their international trade has crippled the country. This will be just another stab into their failing economy. For France, this will be another stab after their own actions in Africa has crippled their economy. Germany MAY recover from this if it can find new markets, but France is in serious trouble. Italy has long had financial woes and this is another wound. Holland should be fine, ditto for Belgium. Fine is a relative term but compared to the others they dont have inherent problems, yet.

Bad news for Kherson

The US is now stating it is pivoting to a war footing.

Yes europe will be considered a bad actor, unlike russia which is the protagonist and lone good actor in this fantasy narrative you russian apologists are weaving

God forbid actions have consequences

Maybe dont go into other countries toppling their governments. there is a long list of this and Ukraine was not the last. If you tell a country "you are my enemy" and you then steal their assets, and you then tell another country "you are my enemy" you should expect the next country to take back their assets before they are stolen. this is not rocket science, yet here we are.

He won't understand the concept, he is a commie. "Their and your assets are our assets." That's the mentality
