Do you think the US/West should seize $300 Billion of Russia's Assets?

[JOE]

Lately there's been this proposal to seize Russian assets outside of its borders to pay for the Ukraine War effort,

Do you think this is justified or not?

What's yer take/opinion.

I know what mine is.

[Garraty_47]

Of course not.

It's only being proposed because the sanctions we've already put on them have failed miserably to have any effect other than fucking up our and especially Europe's economies. It's a desperation move that only provides further evidence that BRICS and other forward-thinking nations have every valid reason to move away from using weaponized dollars for trade or any other purpose.

Once the dollar is no longer the world's default reserve currency who do you suppose that will hurt the most?

It's the latest idiot move by 'Murica in a lengthening history of idiot moves that show no foresight or grasp of reality and will ultimately prove suicidal for our economy and maybe even our nation as it is now configured.

Instead of respecting our position is issuer of the world's reserve currency and using that position to promote growth, stability, and social advancements we've exploited the position to our own benefit at the expense of the rest of the planet; actually propping up dictatorships, monarchies, and all manner of corrupt vassal states.

It won't have the intended effect but will intensify the distrust and enmity that 'Murica has already earned.

"Should we" is a stupid question about a stupid proposition that's been engineered by stupid people for stupid reasons.

lol @ sanctions

Russia is already trading with China without the U.S dollar and in stark contrast to whatever these sanctions were supposed to be delivering

US sanctions = instead of gas costing US tax payers a dollar eighty seven a gallon it costs 4 dollars a gallon because democrats are too fucking stupid to realize we live on a fucking sphere and it is therefore detrimental ONLY TO US not to become energy independent because of this whole climate hysteria.

Dumb fucks. If the world's required consumption rate of oil, is, let's say for argument's sake, 100 million barrels a day, do these morons think that number goes down because the U.S is stupid enough to concede demands from a from a bunch of tree hugging bratty idiots who also believed cloth masks would stop a virus that is 100 nanometers in diameter?

seriously?

I Mean for fucks sake... who do you think has more controls, regulations and technology to drill for natural resources in a manner consistent with the least IMPACT on the environment?

and who do you think gives a fuck the least?

If you answered anything besides THe good ole USofA to the first question and CHina to the second you should probably consult your doctor to inquire if strangulation and/or self immolation is right for you.

It should be used to help rebuild Ukraine after the invader has been forced out.

[Frood]

Fuck Ukraine, Go Russia!
