Is the money released from seized assets?

No, it's payment to help rebuild

But that's what happens when you lose a war. It's not 'ridiculous.'

It is absolutely ridiculous because there was no reason for this 'war' to start in the first place.

I certainly agree that the war was 'ridiculous' (stupid, illegal, evil too). Given that that's the starting point here, I think the terms of the settlement make a lot of sense.
