Incredible, just incredible:
An international arbitration court ruled on Monday that Russia must pay $50 billion for expropriating the assets of Yukos, the former oil giant whose ex-owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky fell foul of the Kremlin. Finding that Russian authorities had subjected Yukos to politically-motivated attacks, the panel made an award to a group of former Yukos shareholders that equates to more than half the entire fund Moscow has set aside to cover budget holes.
These idiots are so intent on being stupid like it’s going out of style. Castigating the vicious gang of bandits called “Yukos” was the only good thing Putin’s regime ever did. Do you know why there are so few voices of dissent coming out of Russia today? Do you know why the words “human rights activists” leave everybody in Russia heaving with laughter? That’s because Yukos bought every such activist and turned him or her into a mouthpiece for the defense of its gang leader Khodorkovsky. Yukos are criminals of the worst order. And they never had any “assets.” Jeez, people, use your heads. Where would they get “assets” from, two seconds after the collapse of the USSR where nobody was allowed by law to have any “assets”?
The Yukos gangsters were given some money to keep for the criminals sitting in the Kremlin. Then the Kremlin criminals decided it was time to get their blood money back from the Yukos branch of the gang. So they did. And now the European court decides it has nothing better to do than to adjudicate disputes among murderers as to who is more “entitled” to their ill-gotten gains?
It is obvious to everybody at this point that the EU is not going to do anything to improve the situation in the East. But it could try not to make things worse.
Hopeless dumb-asses.
