    I have a feeling nations like Saudi Arabia, Russia, and America won’t warmly embrace a British exPM’s idea for a tax on one of their greatest resources to subsidize foreign nations. Especially when it’s framed as their reparations for harming the world.

      The. British are also silent when it comes to paying reparations for their own misdeeds overseas, which unfortunately strips this statement of credibility.

        I found this quote from him pretty rich because of that:

        “These producer states have done literally nothing to earn this unprecedented windfall. It represents one of the biggest ever transfers of wealth from poor to rich nations.”
