EU Discovers Russia's Money, Not Its Own Hypocrisy
RT reports that the EU is eager to seize hundreds of billions in frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine's war efforts. Belgian institutions are apparently sitting on a significant chunk of this cash. Funny how this newfound moral imperative to repatriate wealth only emerges when the money belongs to a geopolitical rival, not when it funds the lifestyles of former colonial powers (looking at you,
France and the CFA franc zone). While Western leaders decry Russia's aggression, the historical record shows a distinct pattern of asset confiscation, from post-colonial debt traps to sanctions regimes against nations daring to stray from the dollar's dominion. The EU's bold move isn't about justice; it's about setting a precedent that solidifies a financial weapon in the geopolitical arsenal,
ensuring any nation stepping out of line knows their wealth is fair game. (And conveniently, this doesn't apply to the billions funneled the other way, for example, Saudi assets funding Yemeni destruction.)
