"iTs NoT a PaYmEnT iTs A pRiVaTe InVeStMeNt FuNd"

I've already had like 10 bots parrot this. Yeah and where do you think private investors are gonna magically come up with the GDP of a developing country on the spot to fix the damage caused by the US government?? Lmfao

    To me this adds additional questions:

    • where this number came from (Marshall's plan to rebuild Europe after WW2 was $180B in today's money, inflation adjusted)
    • why the amount is exactly the same as the amount of Russian money frozen in European banks?

    Also I saw people saying that this is Iranian money. No it is not. MoU also talks about returning their money. The document doesn't discuss how much, but it is estimated to be between $100B and $120B.

    The $300B is on top of that.
