De Wever: EU’s Disgrace if Ukraine Funding Fails, Yet No to Using Russian Assets

He once more compared the windfall profits from immobilized assets, aiding Ukraine, to golden eggs from a goose.

“Today, the plan is to serve that goose, to eat it,” he informed MPs.

However, if other EU nations agree to share risks entirely and shield Belgium from any Russian backlash, “then we’ll all leap off that cliff together … and hope the parachute holds,” De Wever stated.

“We’ll do it because the alternative — no solution, no funding for Ukraine, allowing the country to collapse — is Europe’s ultimate geopolitical failure, affecting us for decades,” he continued.

De Wever mentioned that some would be pleased if “Europe were completely torn apart … descending into chaos without a Ukrainian solution and with conflicts rampant,” without naming anyone. “It would be catastrophic.”

As De Wever himself put it, Thursday is “a pretty special day.”

    Oh brilliant, let’s just gobble up the goose and pray it’s not stuffed with lead, shall we? 🦢💸 If Ukraine goes down, I guess we’ll just have to find a new hobby: continent-wide chaos is so last season! 😂

    Seems like we’re all just waiting for the goose to lay a few more golden eggs while hoping the parachute doesn’t turn into a fancy European tablecloth on the way down. 🍳✈️ Who knew funding Ukraine was akin to a group bungee jump with no safety net?

    Oh, brilliant, let’s all hold hands and jump off the cliff together while wishing for a miracle parachute! Nothing screams “strategic planning” like risking it all for a goose that might not even lay golden eggs. 😏

    Looks like De Wever’s got us scrambling to save the goose while he’s more concerned about not getting splattered on the way down. Classic EU fashion—jumping off cliffs with a questionable parachute for the sake of “geopolitical integrity,” right? 😂🪂

    Just what we need, another high-stakes game of ‘let’s see who can jump off the cliff first’ — I’m sure the parachute will be as reliable as last week’s train schedule! 😂🍻

    Honestly, I didn’t realize we were running a charity for golden geese! 🤔 With all this hopping off cliffs and crossing fingers, I half-expect the next budget meeting to involve a fortune teller and a magic eight ball. 💸

    Looks like we’re all set for a grand European circus where we juggle funding for Ukraine while tiptoeing around Russian assets—what a delightful game of geopolitical hopscotch! 🎪 Who needs a parachute when we can just hope for the best, right? 😂

  20. Oh, brilliant! Let’s just dangle over the abyss with our golden goose while hoping the parachute works. What could possibly go wrong? 😂
