And zero $ to Ukraine… 🤦‍♂️

Could you share the word?

Als je als Zweedse journalist zo slecht geïnformeerd bent over de Belgische politiek, is het beter om er geen artikels over te schrijven. Dit is tot op en over de rand van desinformatie.

Are you actually a journalist? Because there are so many basic errors in this article, it makes my head spin.

All the windfall profits as well as tax money is going to Ukraine, you fucking idiot.

You’re not completely wrong: St. Cyril and Methodius were instrumental in creating and spreading the Glagolitic script, which is closely related to the Cyrillic alphabet.

En in Franstalig België, met haar superieure politieke cultuur, wordt extreemlinks genormaliseerd. Hoeveel miljoenen doden als gevolg van communisme?

*allegedly

a letter to the western left with frustration, from central eastern europe

Read every word!
"You say you hate empire, but you only ever mean one. You rage at U.S. hegemony while excusing Russian conquest. You romanticize “multipolarity,” as if choosing a different empire were the same as dismantling one...

It’s not « tough talk » he is simply explaining NATO policy during an interview.

You’re right about the frozen assets, but Ukraine’s financial problems are there because the U.S. refuses to offer support, and forces us to buy weapons.

Where is the « leader of the free world » ?

I completely agree.

There is a lack of « aggression » on our part. I want to see russia punished. RU needs to be defeated and dismantled, as was nazi-Germany.

EU officials are always full of words of moral outrage, but never act accordingly.

Source?

I think there's just talking about confiscation of russian assets in general. I don't believe Sweden itself holds any.

Yes, and I'm with you. I understand it's frustrating to read about these legalist and bureaucratic attitudes when Ukrainians are suffering every day.

Again, I'm all for confiscation, but we must make sure it's done properly.

Also, there are also immediate alternatives to confiscation.

And just to be clear: I am in favor of confiscation. But the Belgian PM did raise legitimate concerns which need to be adressed before we’re able to execute this policy.

No, Sweden doesn’t even holds russian central bank assets.

Please, read something about the issue before making these silly comments.

« Why is the danger of bankrupting a EU nation and destabilizing the commen European currency a EU problem » he asked.

🤦‍♂️

1) Belgium is willing to confiscate if certain conditions are met.

2) Belgium gives the € 1 billion / year to Ukraine.

I just hope people will at some point learn not to believe everything they read on the internet.

The EU won’t be able to do that because it requires unanimity, and Hungary will not agree.

So there needs to be a « coalition of the willing » to support Ukraine’s financial needs.

We’re NOT keeping the profits: € 1 billion each year is used to support Ukraine.

We’re willing to confiscate if the risks are shared and a legal framework is provided. This is a very reasonable approach.

In addition, the Belgian government wants to secure Ukraine’s financial needs. They have made alternative options to reach this goal.

No, this information is incorrect.

Belgium WILL go along with the « confiscation » IF these conditions are met:

1) mutualisation of risks
2) provide legal framework
3) move together

Also, all windfall profits + € 1 billion tax revenue / year is used to support UA.

Also: when will Norway hand over the tens of billions € in profit it has made because of russia’s war?

I take it you are ashamed because of that?

Shame on you for believing the disinformation that NOELREPORTS is spreading.

The € 1 billion in tax revenue + windfall profits of Euroclear are used to support Ukraine.

www.president.gov.ua/en/news/belg...

The information isn’t true.

The € 1 billion in tax revenue is used to support Ukraine, dumbfuck.

www.president.gov.ua/en/news/belg...

Also, the windfall profits and € 1 tax revenue are being used to support Ukraine.

NOELREPORTS is a liar.

No, your information is not correct.

These are the actual figures you were looking for: www.kielinstitut.de/topics/war-a...

Yes, I agree, and there are other intitiatives, as part of the EU budget and the humanitarian budget.

Sadly, we’re not Norway or Germany. Belgium has over 100% debt to GDP, so there are limits to what is financially and politically possible.

Yes, that is the case.

But according to some international media, Belgium is now « a second Hungary » 🤦‍♂️

I’m fed up with idiots who’re too dumb and lazy to study the issue and make foolish remarks bases on inaccurate reports.
