Who wants to hold the currency of a country that will steal it in a political dispute? From Ian DeMartino at sputnikglobe.com:
On Saturday, the US House of Representatives passed the cheekily-named REPO Act, which would enable US President Joe Biden to confiscate roughly $6 billion in frozen Russian assets held in US banks and send it to Ukraine.
The provision is part of a package bill that also includes over $95 billion in aid to Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, as well as a potential TikTok ban.The bill is expected to pass in the Senate and then be immediately signed by US President Joe Biden. While the $6 billion represents only a fraction of the more than $300 billion in Russian assets frozen by the G7 countries in 2022, most of that money is held in Europe and US lawmakers hope that it will encourage European lawmakers to do the same.
“We’re making good progress in how to access that funds on an agreed basis that I think we can take forward to the G7,” UK foreign minister David Cameron, whose government has already come out in support of seizing Russian assets, told reporters earlier this month.
The delegitimization crisis. This is good.
Dayam! An actual squad of scavengers (SOS) behind the Sack-N-Save at the dumpster and some of them looking rough and crispy like that’s all they would have for the day in an old Honda hooptie [jalopy] with bald tires.
I was going to comment about Brandonomics but it may have went over the head of this crowd…did give them a heads up call as a car was coming.
Not saying I’m Johnny Rodd, just saying.
I was just looking for bread for the geese and birds and some cuts for Rocky Raccoon, they deserve this round.
Living the glorious egalitarian equity dream of misery for all.
Yes we can!
