I recently read the article on the repatriated art work from France by French officials which is a very commendable act by the French government. That however brings to mind why and how it is almost impossible and an unending procedure with repatriating all the stolen funds that are safely stowed away in all "them" foreign nations in their trillions of dollars!

Has someone noticed that these funds are never easily brought back? Some, even after they have been announced still are never returned?

The reason is simple: These nations use our stolen wealth to develop their nation while ours is depleting.

Why can't these funds be immediately returned when they are discovered?

Like the President said ".....WE want something more tangible"

A food for thought!

Since they didn't ask for it and when it left, we never knew until much later, we must be patient for them to process the return. After all, once it has been announced, the world starts counting.

I hope they return it all during our lifetime!

It can be very difficult to return stolen funds cos after stealing comes spending
Artifacts are kept somewhere for a very long time and at a point maybe they will start seeing it as a waste of time and the sin is not close to the gain,,,

In as much as we need the loots returned first, returning those artifacts means the foreign governments now trust the government of the nation cuz if not it should had been returned since IE's regime but they knew it's just a waste of time cuz someone else will sell it to another country.
