Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Weber was a big opponent of seizing the frozen Russian assets. And suddenly he retires! source of surprise! This means that Europe got rid of the obstacle that stopped it from stealing the coveted Russian assets held in the Euroclear system. Now remember that Christine Lagarde, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), with bandages on her face, three days ago suddenly announced that she was retiring from her position, well before the end of her term. The problem is that she looked like she was beaten to resign, it looked like a humiliation ritual for a battered, 70-year-old woman. Very strange things happen.
