    They are horrific numbers.

    The underlying message is interesting, here, too.

    Around €320b in Russian assets seized or frozen, to be used to rebuild Ukraine. So on top of Biden’s deal to make Ukraine borrow from the US for rebuilding, the US is also going to launder all that Russian money through Ukraine construction projects.

    I could be wrong of course. Those construction contracts could be put to open tender and be undertaken by, say, Angolan, Indonesian, and Chilean based firms.

    The gall of the US to pretend it doesn’t want this war and doesn’t have a direct hand in it. Flashing those many €billions in front of anyone would make them act strangely.

      It’s not even laundering they are just gonna steal that and explain it is for the debt Ukraine is racking right now and Ukraine won’t even see a cent of it.
