IMF Demands Russia's Assets While Ukraine Bleeds
Mainstream media quietly reports that Ukraine's IMF bailout is tied to the EU seizing frozen Russian assets, a move Belgium is reportedly stalling. (A Politico piece, as reported by RT, highlighted this delightful detail). They frame it as a technicality, a logistical hurdle. What they omit is the blatant hypocrisy of 'international law' being selectively applied—one minute, sovereign assets are
sacrosanct; the next, they're collateral for an unending proxy war. This isn't aid; it's a glorified pawnbroker operation, where Ukraine's survival is collateral damage and Russia's assets are the prize. While the West pours billions into Kiev, we're told it's for 'democracy,' yet the actual money follows a circuitous route dictated by political convenience and a desperate search for someone
else's money to pay for it. How many more nations must be hollowed out before the architects of this proxy conflict realize some debts can't be paid with seized assets?
