If peace is struck i presume monies must then be returned?
Dont mind that fella ffs. Heās all grand statementsā¦ but unless some podcast has given him an opinion, he doesnāt have one.
Why?
These things only make sense in the simplest of terms. The adults among our politicians will probably have to consider legal implications, whether or not such seizure constitutes an act of war, the liklihood of money being repaid, the chances of forcing russia to do anything, the pointlessness of continuing the slaughter, how the money will be spent, confidence in global banking, etc.
Like youād know anything about being an adult.

Iām presuming the legal grounds for using the money is a breach of international law - therefore, if there was then compliance with said international law money could be recuperated? The fact the chap in the article stuck the caveat about repayment in to his call to arms would lead one to believe itās a real possibility.
But Iāll defer to the experts on international law here - thatās why i asked @Barname

It doesnāt matter if they spend the money on marshmallows, my concern is that paddy is being put on the hook for a slice of ā¬140 billion
Glassagusban is so blinded with self hate that he equates looking out for paddy taxpayer as being pro Russian
God bless you , you simple man.
This is definitely one of the stupidest things Iāve read in this thread, which is saying something.

Well theyāre both 5ā 3"
Thatās why my initial posts had question marks in them you stupid cunt.
The problem the EU are trying to circumvent-
ācentral bank assets are protected from seizureā
This is why the Belgian chap in the article is hoping the EU agree to help them pay back should it come to pass.
But the dog eater Turenne and Tampon Glas know better

The European Union contends that the setup is legal because the money would be borrowed, not confiscated, so Russia could, at some point in the future, get it back.
Critics of the plan have also warned that using Russiaās assets could make other nations, like China and India, nervous about stashing their savings in European banks, worried that their own assets could be frozen and lent out if they end up on Europeās bad side.
