Traitors and enemies of europe is all the US is. It’s hard to decide who I despise more right now, russia or the US. Russians never even pretended to be our allies.
Fuck both of them. Seriously
The US president and his ally in the Kremlin want to use 100bn euros* of Russia’s frozen assets to be invested in a venture to rebuild Ukraine, while 50% of the venture’s profit would go to the US (according to point 14 of Trump’s initial ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine).
*Additional information: Total frozen assets of Russia that will eventually be used as collateral for the EU preparation loan amount to 140bn euros.
Second addition: In addition to the EU, UK and Canada are also working on a scheme to hand frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.
The US president and his ally in the Kremlin
I’d phrase it the other way round, so it becomes more clear who’s calling the shots here.
The US president and his ally in the Kremlin want to use 100bn euros* of Russia’s frozen assets to be invested in a venture to rebuild Ukraine, while 50% of the venture’s profit would go to the US (according to point 14 of Trump’s initial ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine).
This makes so little sense, why would the US deserve a percentage of profit made from money they ‘stole’ from Russia? The businessman in chief might understand how to get money, but definitely does not understand how to do that in a way that’s morally right.
He very much does, that’s why he’s doing this - to be a dick. In his eyes, power is all about being a dick.
Absolutely wild to watch Europe commit economic suicide to prop up a failing proxy war.
How quickly can the world’s most corrupt regime spend 140 billion euros?
I await your seething replies.
Unitedstatesian here: please tell our government to fuck off.
I can’t tell your government anything, they don’t even listen to US citizens anymore afaik.
I am however double checking every purchase and none of my money will go to any of your companies.
This includes all cloud, streaming and web services as well as products like New Balance shoes or Heinz Ketchup. I’ve cut the US out of my life wherever possible.
Good. Our fuckwit MAGA population needs to feel the hurt personally in order to have any chance of waking up from the cult.
As an American, I 100% support boycotting U.S. goods and services.
Thank you for helping us punish the cancer that has grown over our entire nation…
I wish we could just become part of Canada ;~;
The mini trump may win the next election in Canada
I thought Trump’s idiocy flipped the script in the latest Canadian election
I think it only delayed Poilievre win to next election
Why a loan though? Just give them the assets. Trying to put a leash on Ukraine shouldn’t take priority over defending them
