🇪🇺🇺🇦 Italy, Malta, Czechia and Bulgaria are joining Belgium, Hungary and Slovakia in opposing the seizure of Russia's assets from the Euroclear bank!

The opposition from Italy, Malta, Czechia and Bulgaria is masked under the proposal that the EU issue joint-debt to Ukraine, a measure which would require unanimous support but that has no hope of succeeding as Hungary and Slovakia have threatened multiple times in the past to veto such attempts.

The growing opposition to the seizure of Russian assets is causing headaches for the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, as the European Commission cannot actually take ownership of the Russian assets in Belgian banks and is reliant on Belgium caving in on the pressure and instead of more countries applying pressure on Belgium, they are siding with it against the Commission.

Still, even with these 7 countries opposing the asset seizure, this is not enough for a blocking majority so the European Commission will go ahead with the plan regardless which will severely damage the relations between it and member states and generally speaking the cohesion in the EU.

📝 The ridiculous incompetence of US law intelligence agencies is on full display once again after the fiasco in finding Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter Tyler Robinson: Hundreds of cameras and only one still image released, and one has already been falsely arrested with his name released by the press before he was released from custody. What does the US pay Palantir all this money for?
