My understanding is that part of the reason they approved this was to swipe a bunch of ill-gotten gains the Russian Thugocracy has stashed there.

Am I misinformed? *SMIRK*

Ill-gotten gains from what?

Building pipelines, ports and ships to ship natural gas, oil and other natural resources to windmill-huggers in Germany and elsewhere?

Almost a million Germans already cannot afford to heat their homes and their coal mines and power plants sit idle. Wait until Hans, who sees nothing wrong with no-notice seizure of OPM bank deposits, gets next month’s gas bill from Putin (smirk)

Russia’s so-called new class of “oligarchs” (ie capitalists) were once known in the US by names such as Vanderbilt, Ford, Carnegie, Mellon, Rockefeller - now Buffet Gates Spielberg Zuckerman et al
