That money is still just sitting there???? Wtf is he doing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

As I understand it, the only reason the money is still sitting there is because the British government wants to renege on an undertaking that the money is to be used exclusively for the benefit of Ukraine.

And is hoping Lord Cameron's 'stature' will help.

The money is just resting in the account.

Thieving filthy Russian oil money. The horror.

Oh no, the poor Russian

Maybe he should follow through and set up a charitable foundation with no ties to him to receive the money like he said he would

Think what you want of him that's absolutely fair.

My point is purely that it's wild that a government can do something like that.

Imagine now tomorrow morning they show up at your door kick you out and say you have to sell up but they are keeping the money?

Right! But… if you illegally invaded another country, committed war crimes and thrown elections across the free world. Maybe, just maybe, the democratically elected government in which you reside might want to use that for good. Rather, than say, more cluster bombs on children?

Whataboutism is not a valid defense. It's bad no matter who does it.

You forgot to make one

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But they aren't using it for good.

They are collecting interest on the money.

The British government doesn't hold any high ground now let's be honest.

Compared to Putin? Go read a book pal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not pointing fingers but most books about British history are far far worse than what Russia is doing, remember the whole empire thing ? How do you think they got it ?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Just compare the last 100 years of British history compared to Russia and come back to me.
