8·1 day agoMost frozen assets, by far, reside in Europe ($217 billion (€201 billion) to $230 billion (€210 billion)), with the United States holding just a small portion ($5 billion (€4.5 billion)) and Japan also holding some.
Economic death to America!
Yes, I would want a source saying that Ukraine chose to cancel the other events and leave the White House.
But it seems like you misinterpreted the article to mean they were ordered to leave on-camera. It happened well after the media availability.
I haven’t seen that reported anywhere. Source?
Bitchin’ bonus quote:
“It will be hard, but we will survive,” said Iryna Tsilyk, 42, a poet and film director in the capital, Kyiv, whose husband serves in the army. “Today, I was not ashamed of my president and my country. I am not sure that the Americans can say the same.”
I suspect the whole thing was premeditated, so it wouldn’t have mattered. Does the VP normally interrupt the president when talking to other world leaders? Zelensky smiling and tacitly agreeing to Putin’s narrative was never going to happen. I also can’t imagine any European leader going to the White House and saying, “Yes, we’ve treated you very unfairly. The European Union was just a conspiracy to screw over America and we’re very sorry, Dear Leader…”
Thanks! Yeah, people are downvoting because the Russians are scumfucks. But being able to say “look how ecstatic the Russians are” is more powerful than saying “I bet the Russians are ecstatic.” It’s important to know even if it’s a massive contribution to my current rage spiral.
To be fair, he would’ve also deserved it for slapping that geriatric blowhard to the floor.
Here’s a link to the entire exchange. It’s fucking surreal and infuriating.
Doesn’t seem like there’s anything in writing.
I’m sure they know exactly who and what Trump is. I don’t think it’ll change Trump’s behaviour either. I’m assuming they’re just gambling against the odds that it will because the near future without the US is much harder for Ukraine than it is with them.
I can’t help but still feel this is a bad idea.
Totally. But Ukraine’s in an impossible situation. The US running a protection racket is fucking disgusting.
Does the US count? Cuz he’s threatened to use the military there too!
Yeah, the extreme view about algorithms that’s prevalent in the Fediverse feels a bit like someone finding a Nazi pamphlet on the ground and deciding that the problem is paper.
We can also relate to having a larger unstable neighbour that’s a bit of an asshole.
Anadolu Agency reports.
Is anyone who isn’t a Turkish propaganda outlet reporting it though?
If so, I can’t find it.
The potash exports should probably be seen as an attack on Canada. Canada supplies nearly all US imports of potash and increasing Belarusian imports will both give the US another tool to damage the Canadian economy and limit Canada’s ability to strike back in a trade war.
Sorry for messing around with this post. Lemmy.world has a weird bug(?) where posts with CBC articles won’t federate. Had to trick it.
