It depends. WW2 Italy is a case where the winners actually did pay the loser.

Man if you remember the hysterics about “pallets of cash” during the Obama Administration this is particularly hard to take.

I’ve been reliably informed that the release of frozen funds to the Iranian government is something Republicans and the media consider a serious betrayal of America, so I’m sure this will have sweeping consequences for Trump’s support from his party and how the press covers him

In curling, the winners traditionally buy beer for the losers.

(When my kid was on a championship U18 team that routinely bested adults, I had to buy a lot of beer.)

And maybe they could sweep some of the mines, I don't know.
