Thoughts about Ukraine?

There's all sorts of videos out of hungry Russian soldiers looting stores and even one of Russian soldiers removing what looks like a safe or cash machine from a bank.

I don't understand sanctions. I just read that some Russian businessman had his giant yacht confiscated by Germany under the sanctions.

And some other Russian guy had his Italian villa confiscated.

Are sanctions just an excuse for every government in the world to steal people's shit? How the hell does taking a dude's boat help stop a war?

Make life painful for the oligarchs. Hopefully they will either convince Putin to quit or join in on a topple of power. Turn the country against the war.

Putin net worth is estimated somewhere between 70 and 200 billion. I am sure he can build another one.

This is the link to their local paper. Seems like this Rus leader is going to escalate the situation.

It's all about the optics. Again, politicians worldwide (ESPECIALLY IN AMERICA) remained silent as canada seizes truckers, money & property.

Why not take it to the next level. They're just a bunch of russians, no one give a shit.




When they came for me. It was too late.

With the $$ he get from this administration for oil, why not.

The US already arbitrarily seizes US Citizens assets, in case anyone forgot. (civil forfeiture). A very un-american practice now extended to Oligarchs. There is little doubt the Ruskies make extensive use of their own "civil forfeiture" inside their borders as well.
