Europe is stuck in a moral danger. with US President Donald Trump Europe must plug the difference, drawing support for Ukraine. But there is not just enough cash in Europe.
Hey, Wait, Europe’s $ 200 billion (about Rs 18 lakh crore) seized Russian property – wholesale among them in Belgium.
As long as the former US President who was flowing the dollars of Biden, European leaders had the luxury of being prevalent. The Big Boys – UK, France and Germany – opposed any seizure of Russia’s frozen $ 200 billion. It was against international law and could reduce the confidence of other investors – for example, China, Gulf States, India and Brazil – in keeping Sterling/Euro property.
In addition, he feared Russian vengeance, as Putin could stop the European government and corporate assets on his soil. Russian President Vladimir Putin had already declared hostile intentions against Winter Solsal DEA (German Gas Operator), Unipar, Foretrum, Renault, Carlsburg, Danon and Unilever, to name some weaker institutions.
But there is no moral tether of Baltic states – Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania – as Poland, who has faced cruel suppression under the Soviet occupation. They are beating for vengeance. They cite the example – for example, after World War II was re -evaluated in Germany. Even Iraq was forced to pay more than $ 50 billion to atone to attack Kuwait. Therefore, they believe that a complete visit to “aggressive” assets is completely appropriate.
Half measures are over
In the past, European countries have created a gray spot to resolve this dilemma. They have used some clever (specific?) Difference between the major amount seized and the income/profit generated on these indexed assets, which is several billion dollars annually. This income, it is argued, being generated within the European jurisdiction, so it can be “renovated” according to domestic laws. What is more, this income/profit is subject to European taxes, which is unattainable.
So European leaders gave a loan of $ 50 billion to Ukraine in 2024, which was duly protected by future benefits/income on seized Russian assets. This, everyone believed, was done with a clean discretion.
But President Trump has extended the old order, thereby a new world of elastic discretion. He is forcing Europe to separate from his moral high horse.
As Trump sees this, if Ukraine requires strict cash, $ 200 billion Russian assets are seated in Belgium, tantalizali within easy access.
Britain, once a dutiful object, is getting loose. This is suitable for about $ 3 billion by selling Russian Oligar Roman Abramovich’s stake in Chelsea FC. While the National Assembly of France has accepted the recovery, the Emmanuel Macron government is still demo. German, however, the most apprehensive.
Naturally, it is a moral confusion, but it needs to be resolved. Immediately. As the Russia begins to achieve dominance of an dominance in the war, the time of debate is over. Europe needs to work. But how?
Putin/Duryodhana vs. Zelanceci/Arjun
It was thinking me. Is there any historical (mythological?) Parallel that can illuminate the forward route for Europe. Yes, and it is 5,000 years behind Lord Krishna’s intellect in Mahabharata!
I did not joke. There is a similarity similarity between the cruel head Putin and Duryodhana of the Kauravas. In addition, the most charismatic of the Pandavas, between Zelancesi and Arjuna.
Duryodhana illegally provoked the throne of Hastinapur from the Pandavas, which was the right successor. His lust was supreme for power; He chose to start a cruel, horrific war than compared to a proper agreement. Eerily, Putin did the same for Ukraine.
Even though Ukraine was a separate, independent and independent country until the 18th century, Putin believes that just two centuries of forced occupation have given Russia a sovereign claim.
The Pandavas enjoyed the trust and support of the citizens of Hastinapur. For example, 90 percent of Ukrainians voted in 1991 to free from Russia’s yolk; Even Crimea and Russian speaking areas of Donbas wanted freedom. Nevertheless, Duryodhana and Putin imposed their ugly, oppressive wars to calm a reluctant citizenship. Both chose to ignore the peace periods made in good belief – Duryodhana refused to abolish only five villages to buy equity with his estranted cousin, and Putin closed one eye to Ukraine to give his nuclear stockpile in return for independence.
Kurukshetra war day
What can Europe and Ukraine learn from nine days of Kurukshetra war in Mahabharata? Remember that Bhishma Pitama, a powerful warrior who commanded the Kauravas, was wreaking havoc on the Pandavas. But Bhishma Pitmah was a reluctant winner. He loved and respect the Pandavas; Bhishma knew that he was a victim of Duryodhana’s deceit.
However, Bhishma had taken a pledge of loyalty to the throne of Hastinapur, so felt the duty bound to protect the extinct rulers, who were default, Duryodhana and Kaurava.
Therefore, after the eight -day battle ended, the tragically disputed Kolosus, Bhishma Pitmah told the Pandavas how they could beat her: “Shikhandi was a woman born and later became a man. For me, she is still Amba, which I did not pick up in my past. Can bring me down”.
Lord Krishna went into a nine -day battle, believing that Bhishma will fall, and the Pandavas will win; But he ran a smack in Arjun, a blind regret.
Arjun: “How can I raise my bow against the man who taught me how to erase it? How can I strike a man who has preserved me since childhood?”
Lord Krishna: “In war, deception and strategy are not deception – they are knowledge. Bhishma himself has told you that he cannot be defeated until he fights with full power. But he has a weakness – Shikhandi. Use that knowledge, lead the Shikhandi attack, and when he is inconsistent then attacks Bhish. It’s not justice.”
Arjuna finally surrendered to Lord Krishna’s eternal teachings. Bhishma was neutralized. The Pandavas defeated the Quravas on eighteen days of the Kurukshas war.
I think Zelansky should flag nine and gift copies of Mahabharata to prominent leaders of Europe. He should boldly expose it ,It is not betrayal, but justice,Europe can then seize Russian assets seized in Ukraine’s central bank.
