I wouldn't blame Russia no matter the response. What the west is proposing to do is theft, and it's directly involving itself in the war as if it wants WWIII. I guess the OWG just can't wait any longer to take over in the aftermath of the mess it has created.

Just keep poking the bear

It reminds me of all the poking being done before the war begun. There seemed to be a choreography of poking going on with the desired result being Russia's invasion of Ukraine. So what's the desired end game to the current constant poking of the bear...

This sort of thing probably doesn't bode well for the current world financial system. It could lead the wiser among nations to completely avoid the western developed world financial system for whatever else is out there. The west has gone completely bonkers.

No doubt Ukraine is going to lose that war, because Russia is going to have a "strong arm" to lead the invasion of Israel for the Gog and Magog war.

I agree. It's amazing to watch how things come about though. I watched Britt Gillette too, and I thought he was spot on.

Update:

Putin Decree Outlines Russian Response to Any US Seizure of Frozen Assets
(Reuters) -Russia will identify U.S. property, including securities, that could be used as compensation for losses sustained as a result of any seizure of frozen Russian assets in the United States, according to a decree signed by President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

G7 negotiators have been discussing for weeks how to best exploit some $300 billion worth of Russian financial assets, such as major currencies and government bonds, which were frozen shortly after Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

Russia's ability to mete out like-for-like retaliation if Western leaders seize its frozen assets has been eroded by dwindling foreign investment, but it may go after private investors' cash instead, officials and economists told Reuters this month.

Thursday's decree stated that the Russian Federation or central bank can ask a Russian court to determine whether its property has been unjustifiably seized and seek compensation.

The court would then order for compensation to be transferred in the form of U.S. assets or property in Russia from a list that would be drawn up by Russia's government commission on foreign asset sales.

And how long do we suppose that those assets would be limited to those in Russia USSR?

How long before the Soviets would come after Americans' bank accounts in the U.S.?
