Biden has FROZEN 1 TRILLION DOLLARS OF RUSSIAN MONEY & Frozen Five RU Banks [View all] Budi Feb 2022 OP

Gotta wonder how that might affect TFG's finances... Ocelot II Feb 2022 #1

I wonder about Putin's finances wryter2000 Feb 2022 #6

They say Putin is worth $200 Billion. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #31

But where is that money? If it's in the EU or the US, it may be frozen. Lonestarblue Feb 2022 #50

I am sure they stashed it somewhere safe. Where is it? Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #75

The ruble is soon to be toilet paper. lastlib Feb 2022 #68

Putin is probably smart enough to have taken his money of the ruble market Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #77

Ironic that toilet paper 3825-87867 Feb 2022 #82

Yeah, but wryter2000 Feb 2022 #83

Right, it is an addiction. No amount is ever enough. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #85

I think it's the same mental glitch that causes hoarding. tblue37 Feb 2022 #97

Right, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, addictions, etc. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #99

I am afraid of Putin's retaliation DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #87

Yes he has been threatening to target "sensitive" US assets. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #88

Agreed ID DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #92

Right, I have wondered the same thing. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #95

As well as all DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #100

Right, financial systems, manufacturing, food, comm cables. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #102

Putin is getting up there in age DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #110

His goal is to get Ukraine, to show his power, to live his fantasy. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #111

With the way he LOATHES NATO DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #112

Unless he is stopped. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #113

There are demonstrations DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #114

Yes the Russian people are very brave. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #115

Probably.............nc DENVERPOPS Feb 2022 #117

I doubt we'll ever know all of the bribes, kickbacks, and payments Dark n Stormy Knight Feb 2022 #139

Yes many of the crimes he committed are classified. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #142

We've already factored this in radius777 Feb 2022 #121

So both sides have war-gamed all of this out. Irish_Dem Feb 2022 #134

Ironically, they may improve. Hugin Feb 2022 #15

I doubt he has much money left, if any Wicked Blue Feb 2022 #27

And if the oligarchs, now needing the money, call his loans? Ocelot II Feb 2022 #28

I think he's got money. It's Russia that will suddenly realize the country is broke. Hekate Feb 2022 #44

So nice of you to consider the well being of TFG. twodogsbarking Feb 2022 #72

It was in 2010 that Ukraine said no to NATO. The Jungle 1 Feb 2022 #131

Yanukovych was the puppet president installed with the help of Russia lapucelle Feb 2022 #132

Two different things. The west let him get away with Crimea and the eastern actions. That was... brush Feb 2022 #29

The west made the mistake of letting him take Crimea and contest militarily in other eastern areas. brush Feb 2022 #43

Message auto-removed Name removed Feb 2022 #69

Two different things but both sanctioned nonetheless.Let's not forget history about Crimea sanctions ancianita Feb 2022 #42

Sanctions or troops. That's what it boils down to. And NATO troops on the ground v Russian... brush Feb 2022 #47

You're evading, and still denying our past sanctions. This time it boils down to both. ancianita Feb 2022 #52

I'm not evading anything. It was sanctions or troops before and it is now. brush Feb 2022 #59

Okay. But you did say, as if it were without cost to Putin, ancianita Feb 2022 #79

I'm not getting why the sanctions from Crimea held Putin off when he could've easily walked into... brush Feb 2022 #101

I think sanctions slowed down the affordability of any measures we see right now in ancianita Feb 2022 #106

I'm for sanctions as the alternative is not something to consider. Russia needs to get rid of all... brush Feb 2022 #109

Sanctions are the main thing. Shut down cash flow and you shut down the military budget. ancianita Feb 2022 #119

I see what you did there :) Pluvious Feb 2022 #137

And this is why he didn't feel the need to push for sanctions to SWIFT PortTack Feb 2022 #3

Biden clearly stated Europe was the problem with SWIFT JCMach1 Feb 2022 #14

He did, but again also said what we have imposed will hurt far worse than just removing SWIFT PortTack Feb 2022 #18

That's face saving. The Europeans are being two-faced JCMach1 Feb 2022 #21

What Biden just told us in his speech was certainly not Face Saving. Jfc🙄 Budi Feb 2022 #91

Really! What's that.. "face saving"..? Cha Feb 2022 #118
