Russia, two months ago finally ran out of the cash they were financing the war with.

Link please. The Oil Institute stated Vlads $65 plus billion in energy has decreased to 50 billion, in cash. I am not buying your story.

Exactly !

But in a lot of cases they won’t even need to rig the elections.

The White populations of those countries are so cucked that they will go along with anything their Elites propose.

The EU has done it before when it gave a ‘haircut’ to the bank savings of Greek citizens to save German banks from falling. They basically stole a percentage of all savings accounts.

It’s a Belarusian news site.

How they plan to “mobilize” the savings is explained under “Plan C, D, E” (scroll down) here:

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/03/05/how-can-the-eu-unlock-up-to-800bn-for-its-rearmament-plan

It’s all hysteria. Russia has no interest in marching on Paris. Or Warsaw. They have no desire to conquer Europe.

The scaremongering going on in Europe is sickening.

They will use negative interest rates for those “idle” deposits.

We impounded 300 billion of theirs and will never return it until we can install some WEF western banker puppet like Navalny or some such. Meaning we will never return the stolen loot, yachts, real estate etc.

“Also, what is the credibility of this SB website?”

The website appears to be Russian. With that said it’s likely propaganda. If this news comes out from a credible European or American website, then it may be true. Until then I kinda think the folks making comments hear are being suckered by the Ruskies propaganda.

On the other hand, if it is true, this would certainly be funny.

Ah. Thank you. This article can be safely disregarded.

Yeah, I remember that. If I had been living in Europe at that time, I would have put everything I owned into hard assets.... land, gold, etcetera ... with a substantial amount of it held overseas.

That can happen here in the USA. You don't own your money that is in banks here, due to changes in laws over the last decade. You own an IOU note; the bank owns the money and can risk losing it, to the government and elsewhere. If the bank goes under, you get shares of the banks' assets and will be lucky to get a penny on each dollar owed, despite FDIC promises. Big difference is that the USA is not as brazen as the EU to do this to citizens - yet.

“Unused savings”? What is that? I thought that was what savings were, money that didn’t get spent elsewhere.

As if we didn’t need another reason to live in Europe.

Actually, FJB already did that here. It is called inflation. Your account looks the same, it just buys a whole lot less.

Yeah, sounds like fearmongering propaganda. Thanks for the heads up.

It was recently $116 billion. Dropping fast.

Russia is propping up their economics by selling Welfare Fund assets like gold to China.

They are going broke.

Those working to “save Democracy” are using totalitarian methods to do so. Stealing....errr ummmmm.... borrowing savings from individuals. They are not using it, we will return it when the funds buy less than half of what it would now because of inflation.

It’s not incorrect, it just needs fact checking. I provided a link to EuroNews. It’s EU (headquarters are in Lyon).

“I’m unsure what it means to ‘mobilize unused savings’ of citizens. Is this some sort of plan to confiscate individual wealth?”

No. It is like getting our citizens to take their idle money in savings accounts at 0.2% and buy Treasuries at a higher rate.
