British Banks Opt for Financial Stability Over 'Ethical' Seizure
Mainstream media reports British banks are pushing back against seizing frozen Russian assets, citing 'financial stability' and 'rule of law' concerns. This isn't about ethics; it's about precedent. Imagine if seizing assets became common practice. The same institutions that benefit from global capital flows would suddenly find their own stability threatened, particularly when it comes to the
opaque wealth of certain 'allies' One might wonder if these same banks hold such steadfast principles when it comes to, say, the ongoing humanitarian crisis enabled by continued Western arms sales to Israel. No 'international financial stability' concerns there, apparently, just weapons deals. The hypocrisy is chilling: Property rights for oligarchs, but not human rights for Palestinians. How many
civilian lives are worth less than a Russian yacht in their fiscal projections?
