Professor Tribe was talking about the George H W Bush's regulation that seized money would be sent to the
victim country to rebuild.

I have no idea how it's worded but if President Biden could find a way around it and send Ukraine $35 billion
ASAP, I think he would become a National Hero over here, using Russian money against Putin and saving
taxpayers dollars. Rich Rs would even like to see him do that.

FQX of course will find something negative to say and should backfire on them.

Biden's using the IEEPA is a big deal for Ukraine. As Tribe says, if other nations take his lead, ancianita Sep 2023 #1

And there will be SO much work to do! Including the environmental cleanup. I hope this comes off! Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #2

Ukraine will get that money. Tribe is right that the G7 will probably follow Biden's lead. ancianita Sep 2023 #3

That would be wonderful. Ukraine needs all the help they can get from allies. Rhiannon12866 Sep 2023 #4
