While the necessity of supporting Ukraine, at all costs, should be obvious to all (it’s the best long-term investment the West can make against an expansionist Russia), it is a hard sell to electorates. But there is another way of doing this — we can make Putin pay. Even the populists in Europe and the U.S. would struggle to argue with that.
The West holds $400bn of Russian assets, either frozen or immobilized For comparison, all Western aid so far, including financial, humanitarian, and military, totals about $350bn.
Hell yeah! Vlad Puta likes to buy U.S. Republican politicians. Some of his purchased goons have now managed to interrupt U.S. funding for Ukraine. So, now Puta (and his oligarchs) should fucking cover the bill.
