Larry Summers, former U.S. secretary of the treasury and former president of Harvard University, called for the Western governments to “seize” Russian government assets held in international banking institutions to “support” Ukraine and other countries during an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria aired on Sunday.

Summers framed reparations paid by the German government to the Soviet Union after World War II as a precedent for seizure of Russian government assets.

Larry likes to steal stuff.
Insanity
This would clearly set the stage for a one world government or totally separate banking systems for different global power coalitions. WW3 becomes inevitable.
I thought the Ukies have already blown up everything Russian.
Hey, while we’re at it, should we nationalize our railroads?
This is why most of the world will never trust our country and our people again.
“Larry likes to steal stuff.”
Are you worried he’ll steal your Russian assets?
They already have. All the assets are allegedly ‘missing.’
Larry might have been President of Harvard, but he is total idiot.
Well Larry, if you and your fellow travelers survive and ‘win’ WW3, and in a position to dictate terms, then maybe its something to consider.
Might be 30 billion or so still lying around in reach of the Western pirates.
You might want to think through that.
Kinda shows how ridiculous the whole thing is.
Get out in that kitchen and rattle those pots and pans.
Funny how the wife of the mayor of Moscow hasn’t had her assets frozen.
Next they will seize Chinese assets. Honestly the narrative is moving towards China causing COVID Trump called for 60 trillion dollars in reparations from China from COVID.
Watch out seizure of Russian assets is the appetizer for the bigger meal coming later.
except you wont hear that on the news or even on the internet , because Russia is cut off from spreading their "propaganda" about why they "occupied" Ukraine.
the western propaganda just keeps repeating that Russia wants to take over the world and that russia is evil .
the FACT of the matter is that the EU does not like to pay , they prefer to steal energy then blame Russia for being evil for trying to collect and call it "sanctions" instead of unpaid debt
The problem with that argument, Larry, is that there is a Hell of a lot more US stuff in other countries that can be seized.
