Everything you say might be technically true.

But if you look at the bigger picture, Ukraine has been invaded and occupied by a bigger countries which buys western banks to do it's money laundering through. Now is not the time to be discipling.

Justice is more than just following laws.

> Justice is more than just following laws

Justice also isn't what you feel justice is.

The whole point of laws is to have a set of definitions and do judgements upon.

Western banks do enough money laundering even without changing owners to beneficiaries from Russia.

Yes, but that's a matter to be settled in a court. Banks and other financial institutions have no business deciding what's just; they just follow the regulations given to them by governments and the courts.

  • Russia invaded Ukraine, inflicting untold horror, and Russia is a threat to Europe.

    In the circumstances of early 2022, I would have expected a way to be found, in the knowledge that such an action - telescope held to blind eye - would be condoned.

      Realistically it is way more nuanced than that. Its a juvenile worldview to think in black and white.

      Not willing to start any discussion on the matter, but you may want to know about massacres ukraine did in it's eastern side. After all, the russian invasion wasnt that unprovoked at all (albeit as any force causing many to suffer, it's hard to justify it).

      The bottomline is - reality is way more nuanced than just black and white.

  • That's your opinion. Businesses make their own decisions. You'd be aware if you knew anything about history.
