It was unclear whether Bush or Rice held any such assets in Belarus, and U.S. Embassy officials were not immediately available for comment.

The move came in response to Washington's decision last week to impose sanctions against Belarus' authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko and other senior officials that involve freezing all of his assets held in the U.S. and forbidding Americans from doing business with him, according to the AP.

The U.S. and the European Union introduced the sanctions against Lukashenko -often described by Western countries as "Europe's last dictator" -after he won a third term in March 19 elections deemed fraudulent by Western governments.

1. Nice. That's what it's going to take.

The rest of the world to stand up to this little toad and his gang of thieves.

Even if only a symbolic gesture.

:applause:

2. lol was just going to post that

Belarus to Freeze Accounts of George Bush, Condoleezza Rice
“It’s clear to everyone that neither Lukashenko, nor I have or can have any bank accounts in the U.S. The U.S. administration has been looking for these accounts for ten years now. And the Belarusian president said ten years ago that he would give this money to anyone who finds it — if he ever does,” Sheiman said.

Sheiman described the U.S. stance as “diehard and ugly.”
