A bit random for them to be bringing this up now. Is Poland going bankrupt again or something?
Consider this: if they are tearing down monuments to Soviet troops are they not then legitimizing the Nazi occupation? If so on what ground can they demand reparation?
On the basis of I want free money, a boatload of it in fact!
You don't understand, the reparation is for Germany failing to liberate them from communist oppression.
They will claim Germany occupied and oppressed them, ignoring the fact the Polish government behaved just like nazis. They attacked the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Lithuania. They even brought in anti-Jewish laws before the Nazis did. That's why there was the Polish death camp controversy a few years ago.
Willing buyer, willing seller. Don't wanna to pay the price that Russia is charging for their gas? Go and find someone else.
How does this not contribute to global inflation? The West sets a price cap. Russia doesn't agree to sell its oil at that price. No deal. Available oil supply in the market for the West reduces. Less supply, same demand = higher prices. Basic economics. Idiots!
No insurance and financing from the West for oil shipments out of Russia. So what? Gazprom and the Russian financial institutions are relatively cash-rich now thanks to greater profits from higher oil prices. They could easily substitute Western-issued insurance and financing. And make more money in the process. Plus there are other major sources of finance in other non-G7 countries. Like in China and South Korea. Have they actually even thought this through?
