I may soon request a journalist’s card from News X World, since they are knocking at the door each morning to schedule an interview on one or another aspect of the Ukraine war.
I appear at the very start of this long news bulletin which dealt with many other topics from around the world. The first talking point was the strategy meeting today of Zelensky with Starmer, Macron and Merz over how to respond to the latest US peace plan as revised in Miami, which Trump says the Ukrainian negotiators love. We also discussed the latest pronouncements by the Euroclear CEO protesting plans by the European Commission to seize the frozen Russian state assets in that Belgian institution for use as collateral to provide massive loans to Ukraine. As I point out, Euroclear is not just your ordinary corner bank. It holds 42 trillion dollars in assets from depositors around the world, and any action that compromises its creditworthiness or its reputation can have devastating effects on world markets.
1-Bank, $42 trillion in assets ?? the US empire could seize those assets and pay off its massive war debt
