Let’s see what excuse republicans use to NOT get onboard with this plan.
Edit:
Also, this isn’t breaking news. It was reported that Biden was pushing to get this pushed through by Feb 24
>President Joe Biden’s administration is backing legislation that would let it seize some of $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to help pay for reconstruction of Ukraine
“Money withholding for reconstruction of Ukraine” logic – the most stupid and hypocritical from all others Western ones, that was used during all these almost 2 years of the war.
>President Joe Biden’s administration is backing legislation that would let it seize some of $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to help pay for reconstruction of Ukraine
So, Ukraine won’t see this money in the foreseeable future, then.
(Would’ve been much better to spend them on directly purchasing weapons ***NOW***, so there’d be less reconstruction needed)
The guy is so weak and scared of Putinite MAGA. Spend it on arming Ukraine to win.
What a joke. Everything here is just a clown fest.
Its two years passed and those assets still not used to fight back ruzia. US has only 5 billions arrested, and even those they are afraid to seize, the rest in Europe – good luck to convince local assholes to do anything. Then again they want to use money for “reconstruction”, instead of, I don’t know, maybe defense in the first place.
I think the reason this hasn’t happened yet is due to the fact that its basically unprecedented and can cause other nations to be weary of keeping assets in countries that will seize them even knowing their not “at war” with that specific country.
