EU Elites in Panic Mode: Threaten Belgium with Bankruptcy Over Refusal to Rob Russian Assets – De Wever Stands Firm Against Brussels’ Madcap Scheme!

Guest post by Drieu Godefridi

The crumbling edifice of the European Union (EU) is showing its true colors, and it’s uglier than a Brussels bureaucrat’s expense report.

In a stunning display of tyrannical overreach, the EU’s unelected overlords are now threatening Belgium’s newly minted Prime Minister Bart De Wever with financial Armageddon simply because he refuses to play along with their insane plot to steal $200 billion in frozen Russian assets.

Yes, you read that right: STEAL. Like common thieves in the night, targeting a sovereign central bank’s holdings parked safely in Belgium’s Euroclear system. This isn’t just policy wonkery; it’s a full-throated assault on national sovereignty, international law, and basic common sense.

And if De Wever doesn’t cave, the EU – egged on by globalist mouthpieces like POLITICO – is ready to ostracize, humiliate, and economically strangle a founding member state.

Sound familiar?

It’s the same playbook the EU used to bully Hungary and Poland into submission.

But this time, it’s backfiring spectacularly, and it could be the spark that finally torches the whole rotten Brussels circus. In a blistering statement that’s gone viral across Europe, De Wever laid it out plain and simple: The countries screaming loudest for this asset grab – think the Baltic states and Poland, scarred by Soviet ghosts – are “psychologically at war” with Russia. Fair enough, they’ve got history.

A full-on embassy heist!

But Belgium? “We are not at war with Russia,” De Wever thundered. “And we do not wish to be at war with Russia. We must negotiate based on reality, not fantasy.” Boom. Reality check delivered. Stealing from a foreign central bank, he warns, is no different than “robbing an embassy.”

t’s a violation of treaties, a slap in the face to diplomatic norms, and a one-way ticket to the courtroom for every EU hack who touches it. Remember that dusty 1989 bilateral investment treaty between Belgium and the Soviet Union? The Kremlin lawyers are sharpening their pencils already.

If this heist goes down, Belgium could be on the hook for hundreds of billions in reparations – capital plus damages – equaling a staggering 50% of its GDP. That’s not a debt; that’s national suicide.

Even POLITICO, the house organ of the Davos crowd, admits the emperor has no clothes. In a rare moment of clarity (better late than never!), they concede the only realistic fix is for the hawkish EU nations – the ones foaming at the mouth for more Ukraine cash – to pony up their own taxpayer dollars. No more freeloading off little Belgium, the unwitting host of these frozen funds. But oh, the irony burns! POLITICO whines that this would shatter the sacred “principle of solidarity” by forcing some countries to “bear the financial burden alone.”

Hello? That’s exactly what the EU has been strong-arming Belgium to do for months – dive solo into a $200 billion black hole while Berlin and Paris sip champagne!

The EU’s Desperate Threats: Ostracism, Humiliation, and a Global Financial Tsunami

With the December 18 EU summit looming like a guillotine, the panic in Brussels is palpable. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is jetting in for a hush-hush dinner with De Wever and the Witch Queen herself, Ursula von der Leyen, begging for “ironclad guarantees.” But guarantees from these clowns? Von der Leyen’s already tried sweet-talking De Wever and flopped – now it’s threats time.

POLITICO spills the beans: EU bigwigs are floating “consequences” for Belgium’s defiance, from diplomatic isolation to who-knows-what economic arm-twisting.

This madcap scheme isn’t just Belgium’s nightmare – it’s a recipe for a global financial tsunami. Markets hate uncertainty, especially when it smells like legalized piracy. If the EU shreds treaties today for Russian rubles, what’s stopping China from grabbing Western assets tomorrow? The City of London, Wall Street – they’re all watching, and they’re not amused.

The EU’s already backpedaled on ramming this through by qualified majority – a blatant treaty violation under Article 122, which demands an “emergency” (there isn’t one in the EU) and aid only to member states (Ukraine ain’t). Brussels can’t even follow its own rules anymore.

The Irony That Sinks the EU Ship: Solidarity for Thee, But Not for Belgium

The EU’s “solidarity” schtick is a one-way street. They’ve force-fed Belgium endless migrant waves, green energy follies, and COVID lockdowns – all in the name of “unity.” Now, when push comes to shove on Ukraine’s endless money pit, suddenly it’s “every man for himself”?

De Wever’s got the right idea: Let the war hawks – Germany, the Baltics, whoever – foot the bill if they’re so eager to escalate.

If Brussels doubles down, expect more defections, more referendums, and maybe – just maybe – the swift end to this EU supranational scam.
