/ world today news/ A spectacular robbery of Russian assets abroad is being prepared. A number of Western countries, including the G7, have frozen about $300 billion worth of Russian assets in their banks. The first reasonable question that comes to mind is: are they entitled to such a “lien”? Where in international law and in banking practices is the freezing of foreign funds regulated under any pretext? I also asked the “smart chat” “Bing” about this “case study” (as the West prefers to call its attempted embezzlement) – this is what the smart chatbot replied: “EU sanctions against Russia include freezing the assets of Russian oligarchs in foreign banks.
I can find no information on the legality of these sanctions.
You can contact a lawyer or legal practitioner for more information.”
There’s no way chat can find such information – it’s a precedent. That is why Western experts are now thinking about how to justify such theft with the legal basis of “confiscation”. And they almost did it – the war in Ukraine is a “special” case and as such is not subject to the general rules!? As was Kosovo when the new state formation was formed. And so it will be in the future – when something does not suit them, the trans-Atlanticians will accept it as a “special” case, not subject to the general rules. And when it suits them, they will accuse their opponents of violating the law – international, financial or whatever they choose…
And about a century ago, when the October Revolution broke out in Russia, 14 countries from Europe (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Great Britain, France, etc.), North America (USA and Canada) and Asia (Japan) began a military intervention in Soviet Russia – crusade against Bolshevism on the main ground that it is
violated the inviolability of private property – the foundation of every socio-economic system!
And although the Intervention failed then, the international isolation and counteraction against the Soviet state was preserved for decades to come with this accusation – the encroachment on private property is a “mortal sin” in international law! And now we see how the rulers of these countries are preparing to kill their “sacred cow” – the inviolability of private property! In the sense of the proverb:
„What is permitted to Jupiter is not permitted to the bull!”
Except that in today’s dynamic international environment, it is no longer clear who is Jupiter and who is the bull.
Our finance minister (he’s a Harvard genius, isn’t he) also got involved in the “case” with the frozen Russian foreign assets – Asen Vasilev suggests that the frozen Russian assets be used to compensate the victims of the war in Ukraine even before the end of the war in the form of – notice – “reparations”!? Does he even know?
Mr. Vassilev, what are “reparations”? A quick look at the glossaries explains that
reparations are monetary or other material compensation for wartime damage paid by the vanquished to the victors.
I wonder how our finance minister found out that the defeated country was Russia (to be subject to reparations) even before the end of the war? But that’s what happens when the desired replaces the actual in an effort to please Big Brother across the ocean. Combined with a colonial reflex….
Strange why the behavior of our last government (and the previous one of Kiril Petkov) reminds me of a negative character from Rudyard Kipling’s “Jungle Book” – Chakala Tabaki. The famous story of Mowgli, the child raised by a pack of wolves, is based on the life and death struggle between him and the man-eating tiger Shir Khan, who killed Mowgli’s parents. While the wolves, the panther Bagheera and the bear Baloo help Mowgli, the jackal Tabaki is a companion and messenger of Shir Khan, in return for which he shares the remains of his booty. But as the jackal is slavish to the tiger, so he is mean and insolent to the inhabitants of the jungle, going so far in his conduct that the Gray Brother, one of the “free wolf people,” breaks his back… The association of the conduct of our present government with that of the dish-licker Tabaki is obvious – servitude and awe of the Euro-Atlantic “Shir Khan” and tireless zeal in carrying out his orders. We just don’t know how the modern interpretation of the story of the Trans-Atlantic tiger and his Eastern European jackal companions will end…
