Putin is such a boss. He's basically going to get the EU (so mostly NATO countries) to pay for this:

quote:

European and Gulf states, angered by Russia’s military intervention that tilted the war in favour of President Bashar al-Assad, will only contribute if Moscow secures a peace settlement that sets the terms for an eventual political transition, western diplomats say. “They [Russia] go in, they mess it all up, they break everything and want everyone to pay for it,” said a European diplomat.

quote:

“The Russians really do not want to inherit a completely destroyed Syria — that’s a problem that would stick with them as long as Iraq has been haunting the Americans,” said a Middle East-based diplomat.[/b] But the Russian initiative could face resistance — particularly as Russian air strikes were responsible for destruction in cities such as Aleppo. The conflict has reduced entire neighbourhoods across the country to rubble and forced millions of people from their homes.

Russia is one upping Trump

"We're going to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it!"

Russia: "we're going to blow up the terrorists, and make the terrorists pay for it!"

The US taxpayer of today is quite different than the one of the 1940s-50s. We're not going to be willing to pay for that.

But if you read the article they are willing to do so! It's the EU, of course they'll say yes.

Jeez. read between the lines. Bulk of EU budget comes from Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Benelux countries. And then he requests that Turkey also pay for reconstruction. So that's basically a backdoor way for the European NATO countries to pay for his war.

Do you even Realpolitik, bro?

The UN should pay for it. That's their whole reason for existence isn't it?
