The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The latest proposal is that Ukraine assign their war reparations claims ...

This would be the first time I have ever heard of the loser of a war making the winner pay reparations.
But, hey, this isn't the first wild claim from Ukraine.


This is generally legal (if one is mindful of a few technicalities) and has long precedent, and would accomplish about the same thing as outright confiscation.

Which winners of a war in history had their assets forcibly taken from them and given to the loser? Usually it's the other way around.
Did Rome pay reparations to Carthage?
