It wasn't cool for them to own their ill begotten plunder..be assured they stole it from someone else or used dark money to acquire..why do you think they live on the sea?I agree with the ACLU on this one. I can see freezing the assets. But not giving the money to another unless it goes through some serious court proceedings. If it was cool for them to own all this stuff before the war I don't understand how it can be taken now without the folks getting their day in court.
he retired a lieutenant colonel, which was actually a pretty high rank, full colonels were the only ones to outrank him in the field, anything above that was an office position. a kgb lieutenant colonel could tell a military general to jump, and make him disappear if he didn't jump high enough.His KGB career was less than stellar.

This is a bit different than the Russian situation and parliament can pass new laws overnight. There is a lot of Russian money in the UK and when it gets seized those holding it with power, will get some of it too, to help grease the wheels. There is gonna be white hot heat on this issue for a long fucking time and not just the Ukrainians will be applying the heat.Frozen Libyan assets will not be used to compensate IRA victims
The UK government also rejects calls to publish a report examining options to compensate victims.www.bbc.co.uk
Probably. I have no idea why I made that comment though. Just popped into my head and I typed it. lol. Prolly the beer.His KGB career was less than stellar.
He was one of the "trained" ones, education in Russia must be something these days, like "training" in the army, perhaps they just had the name and none of the training along with old equipment.Slow painful death ahead.
In a particularly ill-advised action, a Russian soldier from a chemical, biological and nuclear protection unit picked up a source of cobalt-60 at one waste storage site with his bare hands, exposing himself to so much radiation in a few seconds that it went off the scales of a Geiger counter, Simyonov said. It was not clear what happened to the man, he said.

exactly …. “ a trained professional “ .He was one of the "trained" ones, education in Russia must be something these days, like "training" in the army, perhaps they just had the name and none of the training along with old equipment.
Yep don't like no education and cut the federal department of education and just to make sure, have a bunch of fucking lunatics and traitors threaten to murder them and their families unless the teach bullshit. Go ahead and turn your country into a bunch of ignorant fucking animals, just like Russia did, if the republicans get power, fucking with education will be at the top of their list.
I'd check that with a Geiger counter before I went anywhere near it, unless it was stamped "Made in China"! Locally made mementos might be a bit hot!
Russian “ snow “ or Chinese “ pollutants “ - What’s the difference ? Lol.I'd check that with a Geiger counter before I went anywhere near it, unless it was stamped "Made in China"! Locally made mementos might be a bit hot!
Lol at 12th centuryWhen the Russians launched Sputnik An then manned space flight, i spurred the Eisenhower administration to make an all out effort in math and science education in schools and colleges nationwide. Kennedy went to the moon, but Ike laid a foundation that brought us the 12st century with generation of technically trained people, going to the moon only provided jobs for a fraction of them. There is a reason education went downhill, the brown folks started getting some and doing quite well in the meritocracy of education. There is also a reason they don't teach civics any more or much history and what is taught, they want to fuck with just like the fuck with reality and create alternative ones. It's the same reason they show up at school board meetings screaming about bullshit and making death threats. It's the reason educational quality in America is often neighborhood by neighborhood and not consistently state wide and varies so much between some counties. Too often local control means lunatics driving an agenda that is anti social or anti science. It all has to do with racism and it's just an example of a much larger problem of white people fucking themselves because "the enemy" might get some too and they would rather starve than let that happen. Sacrifices have to be made in war and these people are at civil war with liberal democracy, WTF else would they vote for Trump?
Debate won-Schuylaar due to OPs baseless query or statement.Probably. I have no idea why I made that comment though. Just popped into my head and I typed it. lol. Prolly the beer.
How about Mar-a-Lago sand?Reminds me of those evangelical nut jobs selling “ Jesus water or Nazarene dirt “ in vials and pendants.
Just some guy with bucket of mop water / bag of potting soil from dollar tree .
