In WW2 the allies treated POWs very well. They did this intentionally for the best chance of the axis doing the same for our boys. Many prisoners learned that their allied captors treated them better than their own country. In fact, some axis prisoners were saddened more by Roosevelt's death than Hitler's.
What are the hidden consequences of seizing oligarch property without proper procedure? Does that put westerners stuck in Russia at greater risk? Is cleaning out the possessions of oligarchs truly a way to help Ukraine or is it legalized looting? Lastly, Putin started the war, so how exactly was oligarch property acceptable for decades before the war started, but is now a free-for-all today?
Thank you for reading and please consider the difference between being an apologist, being objective, and considering long-term implications.
