Two legal opinions prepared by international lawyers contradict Belgium's claim it could be on the hook to pay substantial damages if the EU moves ahead with plans to use Russia's frozen assets to help Ukraine.
Legal opinions contradict Belgium’s claims over Russian assets
Belgium would not be on the hook to pay damages to Moscow as it would be near impossible for Russia to find a jurisdiction that would hear and enforce the case, the lawyers argue.

![[Scene is ANCIENT GREECE - where SOCRATES and PLATO and others are sitting round, thinking]
1
SOCRATES:
Plato..
PLATO:
Yes Socrates?
2
SOCRATES:
Can you tell me, are you human?
PLATO:
Why… yes, Socrates
3
SOCRATES:
And would you agree, Plato, that a human knows what a chariot is?
PLATO:
Um, yep
4
SOCRATES:
So you can tell me, then
5
[Socrates produces a papyrus, showing a drawing of the corner of a chariot wheel]
SOCRATES:
*Is that a chariot*?
6
PLATO:
Well
that’s more just a bit of wheel
7
SOCRATES:
So not a *chariot*.
PLATO:
No.
8
SOCRATES:
[Producing another papyrus with the full drawing of the chariot, chopped into boxes]
So if a man were challenged to “tap the boxes containing chariots to prove you’re human” when he was just trying to check his ClubCard points... *where could he tap*?
9
PLATO:
Well you can’t tap any of them really
10
SOCRATES:
So are we not human?
PLATO:
‘Spose not.
11
[Bleak pause]
12
PLATO:
I’ll get the hemlock
SOCRATES:
Yeah

OPINION: Bringing Ukraine into the fold of the EU doesn’t mean bringing the war closer, it means pushing the bloc’s weight and financial power eastward to the actual front line.
On the plight of the unbombed farmers of Eastern Europe
Farmers are, understandably, demanding safeguards and compensation. The efficient and fair way to achieve that is by accepting Ukraine as a full EU member.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

![Cartoon strip by Stephen Collins for the guardian.

That's right it's me uh
back selling cars
So uh, today I’m announcing the new Tesla for just $9,999!
You’re probably thinking uh, “hey that looks like a 2007 Nissan Qashqai”
That's because it's in Incognito Mode

MUSK:
We’ve also added a Paranoid Mode to detect judgy looks from nearby liberals

And expanded the range of EV warning sounds for pedestrians,
