That money is still just sitting there???? Wtf is he doing?

[–] MemestNotTeen@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Gaining interest.

British Government Thieving again

[–] gardz82@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thieving filthy Russian oil money. The horror.

[–] MemestNotTeen@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Well it's actually aluminium money

[–] dispelthemyth@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh no, the poor Russian

Maybe he should follow through and set up a charitable foundation with no ties to him to receive the money like he said he would

[–] MemestNotTeen@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Think what you want of him that's absolutely fair.

My point is purely that it's wild that a government can do something like that.

Imagine now tomorrow morning they show up at your door kick you out and say you have to sell up but they are keeping the money?

Right! But… if you illegally invaded another country, committed war crimes and thrown elections across the free world. Maybe, just maybe, the democratically elected government in which you reside might want to use that for good. Rather, than say, more cluster bombs on children?

Roman did none of these things what the hell are you on about

[–] MemestNotTeen@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But they aren't using it for good.

They are collecting interest on the money.

The British government doesn't hold any high ground now let's be honest.

Compared to Putin? Go read a book pal.

[–] Oncemor-intothebeach@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not pointing fingers but most books about British history are far far worse than what Russia is doing, remember the whole empire thing ? How do you think they got it ?

[–] TarikMournival@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

Just compare the last 100 years of British history compared to Russia and come back to me.

[–] andreasheri@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

America does that all the time

[–] Doctor_Worm@alien.top 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Whataboutism is not a valid defense. It's bad no matter who does it.
