Go back and read through my posts on this thread. I’m not complaining about “sanctions” against Russia because I have any interest in defending Russia. I’m simply pointing out that the outright theft of assets from another sovereign nation
undermines US at least as much as it harms THEM in the long run. And this is particularly baffling when it is being done over something involving two other countries that shouldn’t even be a matter of compelling interest to the U.S. at all (unlike the situation in 1979-1980, for example, when the U.S. froze Iran’s assets after the U.S. embassy in Tehran was seized and American citizens taken hostage by a hostile government).
You can watch your rising interest rates as people lose faith in the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency to see my point.
