In troubled times, as we defend our land and our souls, we are making our way to freedom... including a spiritual one. Amen" ~ President Zelenskyy
You’re next.
This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine.
This would be a very bad mistake. Only a stupid government like ours would pull this stunt.
That’s a great incentive for other nations to do business with US and Europe. /sarc
More members for BRICS!
Did you shoot down anymore of your POW’s today?
YOU POST THIS FIRST WHEN AMERICA IS BEING INVADED, DISCUSTINGLY UNBELIVABLE!
Russia-Ukraine War threads aren’t what they use to be.
It just continues to get more ridiculous.
Aiding and abetting an invasuon of the USA... we should be able to do the same to those...
This is a painfully stupid idea , so I assume our government will go through with it
(((ZeePING!)))
Zeepers are getting fragile as reality closes in... be gentle with them.
To be added to the ZeePingList, ping me bro... we need laughter!
In the list of bad ideas from our elected leaders this on is a Picasso.
Well if your goal is to destroy the worlds' current economic order and end the US dollar as the worlds reserve currency this would be the most efficient way.
I'm sure the globalist at Davos are doing summersaults. No other nation will ever trust the US with their money again. If you own US bonds, sell, sell, sell.
Is our government going to include China in the asset seizure for its invasion and occupation of Tibet?
The act of confiscating and transferring the assets of a sovereign country will destabilize financial markets, set a precedent for this type of action to be deployed as a foreign policy tool worldwide, accelerate attempts by emerging economies to shift away from Western currencies and encourage tit-for-tat responses from Russia.
Down the road, China, India or another emerging economy could assume that they’re also on the right side of whatever conflict that could pop up between them and Western countries, (e.g. Taiwan). If Western democracies have previously set a precedent by seizing Russia’s assets, how will these states manage to convince anyone that China or India have no right to confiscate Western holdings if they so wish?
America is running out of friends. Who will trust us if violate agreements and seize the assets of another sovereign country?
BTW, if the REPO Act is signed into law, the legislation would mark the FIRST time the U.S. has seized foreign assets of a country we’re not at war with.
Confiscating the Russian central bank’s foreign-exchange reserves would come with huge economic, financial, and geopolitical unintended consequences.
And what will America’s taxpayers gain?
Mad rush to WW3. After all they have an unlimited supply of hobbits to throw into the meatgrinder, while taking 10%. Just ask Joe.
GTFO Free Republic.
Troll-wench.
Sad
Why not? The globohomo/neocon alliance has already stolen $200Billion, borrowed and pi$$ed away on graft and neocon bloodlust. $200Billion and counting in debt that the globohomos and their neocon stooges have saddled my grandchildren with.
What foreign investors will want to spend a dime in this country knowing we could illegal seize their assets if our government wants to punish their home country?
