Hey, why not?
Bad for British banks.
Cute trick, but where is the info coming from?
It from British banks, then I can’t imagine this will do anything positive for investor confidence in those banks.
About time.
I wonder how many hundreds of millions he has socked away?
Oligarchy, Russia has them
Well put.
Yeah, those British bankers should just stick it to old Vlad Putin.
Russians are weak and easily defeated, and they don’t even put up much of a fight.
At least that’s what the Germans thought before WWII.
Time to fire up the jammers again.
I’m all for it. But at the same time let’s see where all Ukraine’s money has gone. Let’s see Porkyshenko’s records.
Just a suggestion...
First, the Russian slave soldiers were killed by the millions in WWII and had no choice but to keep dying by the many millions until they wore Germany down with American weapons and Russian cannon fodder, but today Russia is alone and Germany is part of a vast military alliance of not only the WWII allies, but of the Warsaw Pact nations, and alliance of 28 nations called NATO.
Also, Russia wouldn’t need to be squashed, unless they attack us, and remember that in WWII, they didn’t do very well on their own when they first started WWII by attacking Finland and Poland.
Why? the world is under threat from Putin invading us, not Ukraine.
Estimates run from 40 billion to 70 billion, that Putin has looted as leader of Russia, and the latest accusation is that he has stolen 200 billion.
The man may have gone from KGB officer, to running the modern KGB, to looting Russia itself and becoming the richest man on earth.
