seems like legitimizing the outright theft of foreign assets is going to give billionaires around the world some second thoughts about the security of their dollars held in u.s. banks
We’re continuing to speedrun dedollarization despite all evidence
Despite all evidence of what?
This really only applies to adversary nations, specifically those committing war crimes.
Are you really complaining about Russian oligarch billionaires having their foreign assets seized? Whatever happened to ‘eat the rich’? 🤣
i wasn’t complaining no, more of a
No defending Russian capitalists here, I want them all to be stripped of their wealth and the whole Russian state dismantled and replaced by a democratic socialist one. Those rich Russians should be eaten.
But the fact that the Russian state currently is letting their money get stolen (which they knew would happen when they started this war, and those capitalists knew would happen when Russia started this war, which is why they were begging to avoid it) shows that they aren’t oligarchs.
Only the countries stealing this money has oligarchs. And this is also evident by the fact that the money is getting stolen, since it’s hurting western governmental institutions. The world’s trust in the western system is being traded for more money to the capitalists.
“Unlock” aka just steal like we did Afghanistan’s emergency fund. Well, if the US government wants to speedrun de-dollarization by demonstrating to the world why you shouldn’t bank with them, I’m not gonna interrupt them while they do it.
*Nationalizing & Reallocating
Pretty sure there’s a word for reallocating someone else’s shit without their permission.
‘Civil Asset Forfeiture’ and it’s a good thing it’s finally being applied to some oligarchs.
The oligarchs that run my capitalist shithole have stolen money from the oligarchs that run another capitalist shithole, and the dumbest of the common people in my capitalist shithole, where the water is routinely toxic to drink, are celebrating as if it’s somehow a win for them too.
That explains it. You don’t know what it’s like to live outside of a shithole. How could you? Every time an oligarch is taken down, it’s a win for society.
That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
A) There is no society. Margaret thatcher said as much when she started mass murdering poor people with a pen
B) Actually no, its bad when an oligarch get eaten by another oligarch and not by the people, because then you have one oligarch with twice the power and no competition. You’re like a dirt-covered medieval peasant celebrating that your gout-ridden pedophile king has stolen the treasure hoard of another gout-ridden pedophile king.
“My local oppressors are winning their game against their overseas rivals, this means I’m winning too!” Bro you’re not even on the team, you’re the ball.
So you consider Margaret Thatcher to still be an authority. Since you argued that less Oligarchs is worse, then what is the adequate number of Mega-rich oligarchs you want to live with?
Here’s how Ukraine can still win
Fuck russia
Americans will cheer on the collapse of their empire cloaked in the flag, a hand on their heads and a tear in their eyes.

Might as well have that over to some us ghouls in exchange for some old-new-stock weapons that will only prolong the suffering of ukrainians
New TrueAnon Rule: Never entrust the US Treasury with more than you can afford to lose.
Well EU is not far behind. But yes, if you damage country by attacking it and literally erasing towns in it, and capturing territory (the one you guaranteed to preserve and even defend by previous agreements), expect to pay.
Wait, are you telling me US will be paying reparations to all the countries it bombed to the ground? Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, Afghanistan, Iraq, just to name a few?
Which territory US captured or wanted to capture?
Especially when invading your neighbouring countries.
It’s true, I still remember when the rest of the world put those heavy sanctions on us for our barbaric and genocidal invasion of Iraq. It was tough, but that was the day I learned that international law is definitely a real thing.
unlock billions in frozen Russian assets “Ah they’re finally returning what they’ve stole-” for Ukraine
… [exasperated swearing in eldritch tongue]
“The Russians were surprised when, right after the war started, the Europeans took the exact same measures as the United States, freezing all of the reserves that were there, and the Japanese did the same, which is why most of Russia’s reserves today are frozen in Western banks”
