Do you think Russia should pay Reparations after this is over...
And Why???
-peace

 

[Felis Leo]

Yes, because Russia engaged in an unprovoked war of aggression in order to conquer and impose a viceroyship/puppet government upon a neighboring country. All of the money seized from Russia should be used as credit to purchase everything they need from the Western Nations that hold those funds to rebuild their country.

…something, something, cart and the horse…..

 

[Logician Man]

Yep. Their monkey. Their circus. If you have a wacko in charge, reel him in. Nothing personal---just business. Don't elect a brutal, murderous dictator would be my advice going forward to our Russian friends.

 

[lwf]

Yes they should. But I'm not sure with what. Maybe yuan?

If Putin wins it obviously won't happen.

If Putin loses who will make him pay?

 

[TheParser]

Yes.

Russia should be punished severely.

It should be partitioned.

And Ukraine's area should be expanded into present-day Russia.

Finland and other countries should get back land that Russia has stolen throughout history.

And, of course, its nuclear weapons must be destroyed.

 

[reinaert]

If I were wand waving, I'd break Russia into sixty small Republics and then probably immediately regret Beijing's gleeful reaction.

It is my understanding that many institutions within the West already hold hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Russian assets. In much the same way that the United States held Iranian financial assets. I do not see why those monies couldn't be levied and appropriated on behalf of the Ukrainians for purpose of reparations.

There is that!

Thanks Felis Leo for reminding me of what I actually knew but didn't think of!

 

[Roadvirus]

Yes

Ukraine can sell the yachts and villas of the Oligarchs to start off with. Then they can start on the assets of the Russian gov't finks who supported the invasion.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

The thing about reparations is, the strongmen and tycoons don't suffer, the poor proles do.
Putin wouldn't be trundling wheelbarrows stacked with Ruble notes to buy a single loaf of bread or burning Rubles because it's cheaper than heating oil or wood.
Ordinary Russians would.

The harsher the reparations, the more likely we wind up with a backlash similar to the Third Reich.
So...instead of voting in the binary poll, I can only say that we need to focus the reparations on the people in charge and take care to not inflict
grave injury on a generation of Russian citizens who in so many ways are on the same footing as we are in the West.

So be very careful with who you aim at with the reparations gun.

Oooooo, can't wait till ten years from now when Republicans scream at Democrats for "giving those dirty Russians billions"...
We RETURNED Iran's money to them, and Republicans sound like a lying broken record, insisting that Obummer sent pallets of cash to Iran in order to suck up to them.

 

[Common Sense 1]

YES!
And Putin should go to jail!

And I am one of those broken records, Checkerboard Strangler. We should not have given them their money back. And we should not give Russian money back without deducting the price of reconstructing multiple Ukrainian cities, and reparation payments to tens of thousands of Ukrainian families for the injury and murder of their loved ones.

 

[mrjurrs]

They invaded a sovereign country.

On what grounds would you like us to move to robbery as a country? That money has been the subject of negotiations for decades, and Iran has returned over $2 billion to the US to settle claims.

 

[Gateman_Wen]

Do you think Russia should pay Reparations after this is over...
And Why???

Well yeah, they destroyed a shitload of Ukrainian infrastructure, private property, and production capacity. And that's not even talking about the lives they ended prematurely.

Why would anyone answer "no" to this silly question?

P.S. Nobody will receive any reparations from Russia. They just flat won't pay.

Yes, of course they should. The "why" is obvious. The better question is "how."

It was an incentive to get them to go along with the JCPOA P5+1 nuclear agreement.
PS: In case you didn't already know, Iran is moments away from signing on again.

 

[HK.227]

Do you think Russia should pay Reparations after this is over...
And Why???

Depends entirely on the circumstances.
In principle yes. But as far as anything that would put Russia in a completely desperate situation, regardless if they are the guilty party, then I would prefer the rest of us chipped in to avoid that.

Assuming that anyone is in a position to make them do so, yes.
And the why is because they attacked Ukraine.
They would need to have some seriously strong and solid proof of some massive ****ery that made this action necessary for me to give them a pass on that.

 

[molten_dragon]

If Russia doesn't win in Ukraine and quickly I have doubts that Putin will be the one in charge any more.

Yes, I do think so!
