Putin's 'shock' as Russian money set to fund his downfall in Ukraine | Bill Browder 

It has to be legal.

​@@lucyprice1779 Does it? It's not like Russia or China give a damn about contracts they signed.

Can you donn't understand? Where the money is, are financial states, where you can stall your money with trust. Than every country has there own laws. You cann't do this without concequinties. This countries will not lose all the other investors in their banking systems, so that they lose all the other rich people, because you are not to be trusted. The Russian has now for a long time courtcases to this countries.

I concur !!

@@asdqwe4468lucy has a point, unfortunately the Russian regime's criminality does not give us a carte blache to behave criminally. It should be done, but also needs to be supported by a strong legal framework so that Putin cannot claw a dime back.

Dude was a predatory capitalist who was stealing the wealth of Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. After Putin stopped him and his friends, Russia went from a failing, Anarchist State to a growing stable country which is now growing faster than all major NATO nations. Ok, Navalny, but I’d say Assange case is worse, as the formers charges were legitimate and he died of a brain hemorrhage. Then there’s Gonzalo Lira, a U.S. citizen (who I’ve heard liberals say deserved to die due to his opinion), who died in a Ukrainian prison due to not getting medical attention. And where did Snowden go? Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to live in Russia atm, but we are on a downward trajectory and they’re on an upward trend. And the propaganda is probably as bad in each country. MSM in US and UK is jarring to watch due to the spin they put on everything.

Bill and Elena Browder sinner's (mass murders of Christians).

Agreed. Not sure what the delay was. Russia needs to be punished and why not start with their Oligarchs who are criminals themselves!

It's us who will pay in the end... Confiscating assets is not a one-way street, banning imports just pushes up inflation and it's unlikely to change anything. You don't get that Russian economy doesn't work in the same way as the west. We've been sold these "hopes" all along, it's just coping with the fact that Ukraine is losing and has to settle for less than what it had on Feb 23, 2022.

@@tudvalstoneEat your potato ration comrade and hush your mouth.

​@@tudvalstone It's economy works the exact same way, hence why its currency is in the gutter and Putin and his dogs cry every chance they can about it. Don't mistake Putin treating his population like medieval peasants as a different working economy. The Russian people are so use to getting beaten down by their oppressive government that it gives the Kremlin a lot more leeway to tighten the screws in situations like this. The only reason it doesn't hurt them more is because they have alternate trade partners who have help lessen the blown, but even then it wasn't enough considering the trade Russia lost with the west. If the west continues to target the holes in their sanctions it will only cause Russia even more harm. In regards to the west, we haven't even bothered to roll out of bed yet. The impact from Russia's war of expansion has had a very limited impact on most nations, and its populations. As usual the west refuses to sacrifice anything in order to deal with a future threat that is attempting to wipe a nation off the map. It's only fair Russia pay for the harm its caused trying to meet the ambitions of their dictator.

A NEVER ENDING war is what USA dearly needs to attempt to pay for its 34 trillion dollar debt to the rest of us. Each Amerrican and Brit born today is IMMEDIATELY 100,000 dollars or pounds in debt. From day one. Now think about that. usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html Don't look at the state of your economies if you are of a nervous disposition.

Damn right. Trillions owed

Estimates earlier in the war were reconstruction etc. might be 1 trillion, give or take; and frozen assets amount to 600 billion. So, it's a significant portion. OK, that was a while ago, and did not include damages, crimes (compensation for victims), stolen assets (Oil etc. from Donbas and agricultural products), so that probably adds another trillion. Still, 600 billion is quite some part of 2 trillion. "Only the profits from it" (1-3 billion?) as discussed elsewhere is indeed pocket money.

I doubt Russia will pay a penny in reparations. As a result, Russia will slip towards being a perpetually sanctioned state, cut off from the rest of the world, like NK or Iran.
